Reserves 2nd Semi Final - Sturt v Port @ Richmond (Sat 18/9)

[Big Phil]

The Double Blues and Magpies reserves side will battle it out in the 2nd Semi Final for a spot in the Grand Final, the loser taking on the winner of the Eagles v Central game in the prelim next week.

This game is the final one in a triple header at City Mazda Stadium (or Richmond) starting at the twilight time of 4.55pm. The game before this one and after the Eagles v Central game will be the Under 18's 1st Semi Final between Port and the Eagles.

why is this game being played as a twilight game? be better as a 11.25am start game.

Because the other reserves final (1st Semi - Eagles v Central) is being played at the same ground at 11.25am...

This Sturt v Port game is the 3rd and final fixture in a triple header...

I wonder if we can at least win a final this year let alone a flag!!!

why wouldnt the 18's be the twilight game

[Big Phil]

why wouldnt the 18's be the twilight game

You'd have to ask the SANFL, not sure?

[mighty_tiger_79]

I know they have played ressies before 18's because they try and keep the same timeslot in finals as the minor round but thats just weird

Did one of the Milera brothers get reported in their win on the weekend? Anyone there to witness it or know any info?

[Injured Phantom]

Its to double header clubs, so support staff are not stretched I would assume. This eases the pressure on Eagles & Port clubs ... sensible programming. Doesn't matter what time the game is, we have played at this timeslot with twilight games vs Norwood throughout the year.
Match 1 - Reserves: Eagles v Centrals
Match 2 - U18: Eagles v Port
Match 3 - Reserves: Sturt v Port

Terry Milera was reported, he hit the Eagles player high, but it was incidental as he was just running through the middle of the ground and collected him.
He got off.

Good work by the Advertiser to have the write up on Terry Milera winning the reserves Magarey Medal, too bad the photo they had was of his brother Tim!!!

A very dominant 44 point win to the Magpies, who are in to the Grand Final. Sturt v Centrals next week.

Bad luck for Jamie Solly for Breaking his leg, it was his last chance to play in a port Grand Final, because he will be at an AFL club next year

He did it running back with the flight of the ball and took a great defensive mark. Very couragous effort.
