East Torrens vs Sturt at Campbelltown. Sturt have started well and pinched an outright. Can they knock off the Reds?
University vs Port at Uni. Likewise Port. Have started the season well. Genuine contender?
Tea Tree Gully in 11th place and have the bye this week. Thought they'd have a big year with Page and Oakley back in. Giving up some ground. That game before Christmas (hosting Southern District) becomes huge for them
I think he's left TTG and now playing in Tasmania?
Uni should be too good for Port, although their batting may need to improve. It looks like whoever won the toss at Price on Saturday was in the box seat.
Sturt looked like they had a bad day against the Parasites and would hope to bounce back at East Torrens. That should be a good game as ETs are looking strong again this year. As Eagles has said, having Lehmann full time will help their cause, although I think they've lost L Robins for a while?
Hard to know how Woodville are tracking. I heard Dickman has quit SACA and heading back to Darwin? I also did hear Summers has left as well (playing in Sydney?).
Glenelg should be too good for Southern although dropping this one may bite them at the end of the season if it's close for 4th spot.
