R12: Glenelg v Sturt - Saturday @ Glenelg

[Dutchy]

Teams to come

[CENTURION]

Bays 2 wins on the trot? Is this possible?? YES!! Genelg by 3 goals.

[matt35]

Always the danger of a let down after a win like last week. But, I actually think we'll make it 3 home wins in a row-hard to believe I'm saying that. Glenelg by around 20 points.

GLENELG
Glenelg has named star forward Terry Milera for its game against Sturt at Gliderol Stadium on Saturday.
Milera was stretchered from the field after landing awkwardly while taking a contender for IGA Mark of the Year against Norwood on Sunday.
The former St Kilda playmaker reported a swollen ankle after the match but is likely to face the Double Blues after being named on the extended interchange bench.
The Tigers have regained Chris Curran from a hamstring strain while Lachlan Earl resumes after a week off due to personal reasons.
Glenelg coach Matt Lokan must trim two players from his extended bench before the bounce.

STURT
Sturt coach Seamus Maloney has shaken up his side in preparation for Saturday’s crucial clash with Glenelg at Gliderol Stadium.
Desperate to stay in the race for a finals berth, Maloney has sent back three players – James Wundke, Brad Hartman and Richard O’Grady – to the Reserves.
Lead-up forward Lee Staple has been called upon to add significant potency inside 50m while Christian Calabrese and Jack Penfold have been added to the extended interchange bench.
Utility Matt Crocker is in line to play just his second league match of the year after a serious thigh strain while key defender Jack Stephens has overcome fractures in his back.

Hows Sam Smith going Sturt fans?

[LPH]

Update on Tom Harms' knee:

Had a 'needle' - I assume to drain fluid.
Same knee as previously reconstructed - no ACL or PCL damage, this time.
Likely Patella Tendon injury (some minor tearing type damage) - where graft was taken for reconstruction.
Will attempt to complete the season - hence named this week, I guess.

Good Luck to him, hope it 'holds up'.

I'm with Centurion. Sturt making changes but the Bays on a roll. They've not been too far off the pace for a while to be fair whilst the DB's haven't really impressed for a while.
I'll go Glenelg by 25-30 points

One knows one's team is crap when one win is described as "on a roll"

Chilly day out, one hopes there is plenty of stout in the fridge.

I put some $$ on the Glenelg line, a very foreign feeling Sturt were awful last week, should be a good contest.

[matt35]

What a ride that game was! Blitzed them in the first quarter, by half way through the third I thought Sturt were going to run away with it, ten minutes to go thought we were home, then it went down to the wire! Great to get another win on the board; three home wins in a row now.

Crowd today was 3,332.

[Spargo]

We were by far the better team for 3 qtrs.
Umpiring disgracefully one sided 21-10 favouring strut.
3 wins in a row at home!

[Pseudo]

Only the better team for the first quarter. Reckon Sturt had the Bays measure after 1/4 time.

Hey I'm a North fan. One win is a season's tally right now

And by a roll I meant their form has taken a turn for the better over the last few weeks

[mighty_tiger_79]

the bays were $126 for the flag, is it mathematically possible to sneak into the finals and cause havoc??

[johntheclaret]

What a great acquisition Alleway has been for Glenelg
4.2 and 19 disposals today. I think that puts him top of the goal getters.

And what a shame North couldn't find room for him.

[johntheclaret]

Yes, no and no.

[Jim05]

3 wins and % out with 6 to go.
Still mathematically possible but we all know what happens to the Bays in finals so realistically NO

[am Bays]

Nice to grind out a win
