Yep, I think we’ll win more than last season

apart from central, who do you expect to beat?

Glenelg


We only won three games, although being “in them” for most rounds so I m not setting the bar high and say12 wins.


Won three of our last four and was beaten by North by a goal with Adam in charge

All jokes aside, Glenelg hasn't had an easy game against West for quite some time. The Bloods always make the Bays earn the win.

Both games last year were less than 10 points

Probably should’ve beaten us at The Bay last year.

Talent won us that game

Couldn't beat us last year,
West have lost a few good players to the AFL this season.
They won't beat us.

They will win a few games but winless on the pure ladder.

Our recruits got us over the line.

Unfortunately for West Adelaide as with any SANFL who has a run of wooden spoons, they are in a rut which is hard to get out of.
This isn't the AFL with a draft, priority picks, and largesse from the AFL for struggling clubs.
As with Sturt during their horrendous run in the early 90's, recruits of quality dry up. Finances tighten, and your more susceptible to your best players getting poached. Brett Turner for one would make a big difference to Westies but he got lured by Glenelg. You end up with a team that is too inexperienced and not good enough to go the distance. They have to back in Hartlett and show they are heading in the right direction.

Turner was willing to stay at West but was offered a very unflattering contract. He was going to go and play country footy IIRC, before Sam Durdin contacted him and invited out for a run at Glenelg. Not a result of Westies’ predicament, more poor list management.

Then you get your triple whammy with all your best young up and comers drafted to the big show.

Bit more to it than that but that is some of what occurred

certain person wasn't doing his job

Confirmed naming rights for Glenelg Oval - Stratarama Stadium
10 year deal worth over $500k

Muidats Stadium would have been more appropriate IMO.

Very clever.

Do we know if any of the clubs will name their trial teams for this weekend?
