So after the week off with the State Game, the SANFL comp is back with Round 7 action...

The in-form West Adelaide kick off the round with a Friday night home clash against Port Adelaide Magpies...

Reserves @ 4:30pm

League @ 7:10pm

Broadcast Details - 1197am RPH Adelaide from 7:00pm

West by 70 points.

Port always give us trouble, Summerton seems to save his best for West

18 Steve Summertons wont pinch this one for us.

Think this one will be ugly.

Dangerous to say but I see this as a real percentage boosting opportunity. Our contested ball is much better and Port will turn it over a lot also - should lead to some big numbers for us!

We should get a couple back this week, Hartlett (Injury), Fielke (Suspension) and a chance of Lobbe, Crouch and Cassisi who all missed playing AFL last weekend. Laird and Porplycia are both chances to be dropped from the Crows also.

Dont write the Magpies off, any forward line with Butcher and Johncock will be tough

Butch to play with the power this week.

The Power aren't going that bad yet.
Reckon they would need atleast a dozen injuries before his name gets a mention.

no, they kicked a massive 2 goals after half time, with their potent forward line.

No chance from what I have heard.

Would still be a better inclusion than D Stewart!

Not confident at all about this weeks game, think it will be a bit of a % boost for West

Yes, yes indeed.

Good we are happy to have him back at North, prep for the Magpies who we play the week after and he is always way too good for the spuds in the Magpies defence!

You never fail to disappoint.....Stewart is a very capable SANFL player but through either lack of opportunity or not taking the opportunities he has had, has been unable to cement a spot at AFL level. Probably not big enough to ruck and hasn't been able to dislodge Schulz or Westhoff in the key posts in Ports AFL side.

Who knows, he might even be a part of a North Premiership this year....

Assuming the Power allow him to play finals

Very true, we might want to keep him fit for running around the trade table....

Anywho, back on topic, with Westies having had a few in the state game last week (albeit not a tough game) the Magpies might be a little fresher and have some more run late in the game.

16 of our team didnt play in the state game, but those 5 who did might get a little tired Those two magpies players might be a bit tired too
