Sturt will be looking at getting their second consecutive win this week, when they take on the Bloods under lights. West are the in form team of the competition though so I would expect them to take the points.

My tip: West by 26 points

I'll be in china for this one, just hope the blues can repeat last rounds effort. West r on the improve so will be a good game.

Heart says sturt

At home, under lights is a huge advantage, West to win.

West will in all liklelihood be without Moran, Schmidt, A. Hartlett and Pettigrew while sturt will be likely to keep Pearce and lose Kurtze.

Sturt has an impressive midline at the moment (Hinge, Anderson, Thomson, Sheedy, Gum, Evansm Crane) and if ever my side may drop a game under lights, this week worries me after such a short break.
Go the Bloods!

I guess time will tell if the game West played in the Foxtel Cup will help them or disadvantage them. Sometimes the bye has the opposite affect in breaking up a roll of wins.
As for the Blues, we had a good win last week, but apart from a brief stint at the end of last year, two good wins in a row has not been in the Sturt repertoire since about 2009. Usually a win is followed by an inept collapse the following week. Against opposition the quality of West, we could leave this game humiliated if we don't put our hearts into it.

Sturt by 5 goals.

nice night at City Mazda, should get a crowd of 6,000 plus.

Heart says Sturt by 3 goals.

Stuff it, ill be confident and tip the blues by 22 points.

West to play well but sturt to surprise and keep it up.

Sturt won't have Kurtze , so no recognised ruckman.

West should win easily and I tip about a 4000 crowd being Easter people go away so that would be a good result I reckon.

I know they will be light on but maybe throw a Pinyon or Curnow into the fold just to see how they go. I thought Wundke went alright on Friday night at times and he has the fitness to work well around the ground. Not a recognised ruckman in the pure sense of the word but a pretty handy back up, plus I think he did mainly ruck when at North, albeit in the 2's.

Yeah, some people might go away straight after work, some may wait until the Friday morning to head off, but I still reckon they can get 5,000+ to this one.

Yeah I thought J Wundke was a ruckman.

when did sturt v west last get 5000? 98 2nd semi?

Might have gone close in 2003 at Unley.

No Moran, Schmidt or Hartlett? Please explain. Thought a couple of our kids were good against Ainslie, Rankine looks a goer

Players who will and might be missing from the CENTRALS game


NO Hartlett out with a long term ankle injury

NO Thompson he has a bad back

NO Pettigrew playing for the POWER

Schmidt will certainly be close on selection with the CROWS

How ever WEST could gain MORAN and DAVENPORT

I reckon there could almost have been that in 2003 at Richmond when one of the gates was mistakenly left open and people walked in for free.

If Schmidt goes into Crows side it could be for Jeansch, Martin or Tambling who are all Sturt players. Could be a double whammy from the Crows and that after we lost Pettigrew to Power from our Centrals game. Balanced out by Davenport coming back plus maybe Moran if he does not take Maric's spot.

When will West and Sturt teams be announced?

I would say tomorrow afternoon.

I doubt Sturt will have any of Jaensch, Martin and Tambling and I doubt we'll have Moran or Schmidt due to the fact that the crows play on saturday and if not in the 22 for the crows, they'll be held back as emergencies.

I would suggest the clubs will release a 'squad' or their 'sides' for this game, some time tomorrow afternoon...
