2007 Elimination Final Sturt v Glenelg

[Blue Boy]

Hows Gregory goin is he any chance this week ???

[sturtpeter]

Forgetting the poor turn-out last Friday, I think Sturt will be too focused and too well-drilled for the Bays on Sunday.

We showed Glenelg at Unley on April 15th. that we're a classy well trained side and Sturt have worked too hard to let this Final slip.

Go U Blues

Come on SP! That's like saying West deserve to play in the elimination final and will win it because they beat the bays in round 3!

Dutch - no wink

[am Bays]

No a bad plan gets them a bit match conditioning....make sure we get the splinters out of their ar5e before they play.... To be honest I will believe it when I see it.

Potentially a couple of handy ins for this week...Boak, Logan, Douglas and and our spiritual leader Moorey...

Fact - http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22396677-21546,00.html

GLENELG pair Travis Boak and Tom Logan, both with little game-time under their belt, may gain clearance to play.

GLENELG NOTES

- First Elimination Final since 1994, Last won an Elimination Final in 1992

Crap we beat South in 1992....

Everytime we have won an Elimination final (74, 82 87, 88 and 1992) we've gone on to make the GF (however we've never won a GF after coming from the elimination final)

I always assumed Dougie would play but not the other 2 !!!

Is that good or bad for ya ???

it would make it very very tough at the selection table

salopek?

[Wedgie]

All fixed Tassie, don't shoot the messenger though, all these wonderful stats are thanks to Phil Herden.

Last week Logan was only on the field for 40% of the match. As such, he (and Boak) are under "special consideration" to play again this weekend to get some match fitness.

Sort of a win/win thing. Hopefully.

hello choko......... hopefully they dont get injured this weekend

[bayman]

bays trained pretty well tonight was a tad sloppy early but after about 10 minutes they looked good, & dont be suprised if a 'forgotten' player lines up this week as he trained very well
