Power losing Homsh and Marshall is a blow. Would have helped them last week having at least having 2 key position players. Back to none this week. Sturt to win.

Double Blues back to winning ways
Sturt by 5-10 points

Porth v North
Porth v South
Purt v Sturt

The misnomer will be accurate when it's the Bloods' turn to supply the scratch match.

THIS Sunday afternoon at Alberton Oval, three top-four draft picks will play together for the first time since 2015.
Ex-Demons Jack Watts (Pick 1, 2008), Jack Trengove (Pick 2, 2009) and Jimmy Toumpas (Pick 4, 2012) will take on Sturt in the SANFL together.

Port by 100+ then

Of that lot Jack Trengrove stands alone as he's had his injury battles. The other two are a bit hackish.
