1st Semi Final - Sturt vs Eagles @ Football Park

[centrecirclelegend]

Hentchell wants to play but because he is out of contract with the Crows he can't risk injury.....can't blame him!

pity.....he would cause all sorts of headaches for Sturt......

Without Passador I wonder why we haven't opted for a guy like Westbrook - a little surprising if you ask me. I'm also concerned about the loss of Petrenko. Still no Zack Hier which is also a surprise.

No Sturt team yet?

Tough game to call, this one.
I'm expecting the DBs to bounce back, the top three were head and shoulders above the others in the minor round.
Having said that, I'll tip the Eagles by 13-24.

ST...

Some interesting names in there. Vassall, Payne under injury clouds? Also surprised Nelson is there, thought he may have been one more week away with his hammy.
Looking forward to this. Still EXPECT my team to play to a level that is good enough to win.

According to you it is. We want to go as far as we can and if that means having to beat Sturt along the way in the finals, so be it.

[Footy Smart]

Vassal wont be playing 2 cracked ribs i believe

Sturt to lose by a goal after a final quarter fadeout.

Whoops that was last week.

Sturt to lose by two goals after a final quarter fadeout.

I'm warming to the Eags. Side looks as strong as they have named all year and, although there hasn't been much of a fanfare for Ron, I reckon they could be on a mission but without the baggage of expectation.

In the theme of choking in close finals
Here is the most extraordinary stats you might ever see in SANFL finals

1978-2009
In all finals Sturt have been in
With winning margins below 18 points
12 finals games
ST have won 0 and lost all 12 finals

When ST win they win big but lose close games !
