RD 10 West vs North City Mazda Stadium 6/6/09

[Ian]

I look forward to the trip to the factory area this week for the following (1) Westies BBQ (best in the business)

Everyone says this, but I have found it to be average at best. I would rate Norwoods (outer), Bays, Prospect and Souths better. Will have to try it again sometime.

Compared to Westies the other BBQ's you mention are average at best, North's is very ordinary in comparison

Snags are ok, service is slow, sometimes the steak is ok, sometimes like leather.

Westies do a bigger range as well, their steak sangas and hamburgers are awesome

Nup, theyre having the day off.
Unfortunately for North and West fans not in SA there is no radio coverage, you'll have to rely on SAFooty.

WOW, one of the best North sides Ive seen for a long time and the best yet this year.
Big test for West.

It certainly will be. Norths leg speed has been our biggest hurdle the last few years and i think that is an area we have improved in greatly this year. I don't think we will win as i think your forward line has too many options for us to cover but it will be much closer than a few of the recent results. I sure hope i am wrong.

UK Fan i agree it is a sign of a the respect we are slowly regaining by the competition for Allan to be rushed back in, assuming he is going to play.

What has a so called "new found' respect for West got to do with "rushing" Allan back in??? I think you will find all SANFL teams respect their opposition no matter where they play them or where the teams are on the ladder. As we see constantly if you don't rate your opponents then you are likely to lose if you are mentally not switched on - it even happens to Centrals occasionally!

As for Allan's return - our draw has been stop start so far, we have had an unsettled line-up all season due to injuries so I am sure that Healy wants to get the strongest team on the park and get them into some sort of rhythm seeing as we are nearly half way through the season. Anyone would think that North are "desperate" by playing their best on baller!

Off course you play ALLAN

Now lets ponder.....
IF WA win
WA are in the 5
NA are not

Good reason to pick ALLAN I reckon

Put simply last year Allan would've been given the extra week to recover. This year all sides are having to give us some respect and play their best available team because we have improved and aren't a walkover anymore. I understand from Norths point of view Healy wants to settle his side but i am sure he would've been happy to have Allan miss another week if he was assured a win. I certainly wouldn't call it desperate, but i would call it an important game for North to consolidate their spot in the 5.

[Wedgie]

Just saw the forecast. Showers with possible thunder.
North love the wet so North by plenty. We should be called the red ducks.
Im also tipping the glassed off bar will be busy and that there will not be many photos of the game.
Cyas there!

(And whoever gives me a lift this week gets a free ticket to the game and free car parking)

Rubbish. For info Allan wanted to play last week but the Medicos gave him the extra week LAST week so why would he have another week off? It was barely a strain - he took himself off in the State game fearing if he played on he would do it properly!

Look don't get me wrong West have improved and North will treat them with respect but I think we would win without Allan in any case, geez it's not as if he is Barrie Robran!

As for you not calling it desperate - you are certainly inferring it!

Very unlike Drebin to be so touchy.

Well if he had not strained it at any stage and he was only resting a tight hamstring then that is a different injury to what has been stated. I agree i think North will win with out him. I had no intention of inferring that north are desperate just stating what is on the line for both sides this game which is a top 5 spot, pretty clear cut to me .

Don't worry West are a better chance of winning if Allan plays for North.
