NORTH

North Adelaide has rushed AAMI Rookie Patrick Davies into its midfield to face Glenelg at Prospect Oval.

Originally from Kalangadoo in the south-east, the 22-year-old has spent time with the Bays’ juniors before playing for Yorke Peninsula side Bute in 2018 and 2019.

Measuring in at 186cm and 80kg, Davies has been joined by ruckman Alex Barns and defender Damon Hill in the Roosters’ 24-man squad.

Former captain Mitch Clisby couldn’t be considered for selection due to personal reasons.

Searle, from Plympton FC, will be making his League debut if selected.

Won 3 in a row before a bad game last week, yep, backwards.
Anyhow, I think we’ll bounce back & win this week.

Will be a tight game, and the Bays will provide North with much stiffer* competition that Norwood last week. We've won quite a few on the trot, so the law of averages says we could be due for a loss, but we've also named arguably our strongest and most settled side, with the inclusion of Barns providing additional height benefits either in the ruck or up forward. The Bays will be keen to cement their top four spot, given Norwood's drop off in form and likely loss to the Eagles tomorrow evening, and their overall form has been good.

Should be a cracker of a match, North by no more than a couple of goals.

Go u Chooks

Ouch!

I don't know about you folks, but I really cringe at the thought of crossing my toes.

I expect the Bays to leave no stone unturned today, plenty of reasons to win with Norwood still nipping at fourth spot, particularly after Friday's return to form. Glenelg's record at Prospect is pretty good in recent times IIRC, as you say.

Hopefully we'll have a more accurate games than the corresponding game last year, where both sides drew scoring 4 goals and 15 behinds.

3QT in the reserves and Glenelg without a goal.

They've come back in the last kicking 3 goals, still 10 goals down.
I'm amazed they couldn't kick one in the 2nd as the broeeze is a 4 or 5 goal breeze.
Crucial % for North as they were 2 games plus % behind Glenelg before this game.

Bays with th breeze in the first quarter.

QTR time
Glenelg 3.7 25
North 2 0 12

Should be 8.2, missed a lot of easy ones...

And like that Glenelg have two quick ones against the breeze, looking switched on today.
Bloody Sunday footy.
