Rd 9 South v North @ Noarlunga Downs

[Zorro]

I'm with Big Phil, I think North will win but if they don't I think South will win or it will be a draw.

Thanks Captain Obvious!

Bloody good to have a North thread on this site and now that our trial games are finished we can start the season.

My heart says the South youngsters will have a real crack and go down swinging...
My brain says North by 100 pts plus.

[SABRE]

if it is dry north will win by 10+ goals

....and if it's wet, North will win by 10+ goals.


Sorry Panthers, I'll be rooting for you as soon as I get home from Coopers Stadium tomorrow night !

[Trent Plucktrum]

I'll take any win after two byes and i can't see us flogging them at all !!

Looking at the North side selected they should win and win by plenty, but alas we know that doesnt always happen, time the Roosters put a full game together, I'm still not overly convinced with my beloved chooks as yet this year but reckon they will win this one by about 22 points

If We Don't Beat The Panthers by 10 + goals then we don't deserve to be in the top five.

What would you get for a South victory? $15.00?

Yep you certainly would - if you put $2 on them. They are currently paying $7.50 for the win.

Looking forward to it. It seems like a long time ago since we had North on the radio

Seems like a long time ago since we played!
I hope the boys put in another good preseason, anyone know if we picked up any new recruits in the last 3 weeks?

With O'Hara and Dodman getting an outing in the ressies, Sporn, Wyman, archard and Schwarze all coming back it will feel like we have.

North by 798 points

Due to possible wet weather i have re-evaluated my prediction

North by 797 points

Can anyone confirm if South is wearing black armbands today?

Their first female life member, Kit Fischer, passed away on Thursday night - a volunteer at the club for 40 years with her late husband and fellow life member, Snow Fischer.
