Round 4 - West v Sturt @ Richmond - 7.40pm Thurs 21/4/11

[SANFLnut]

So from Centrals game we will swap Davenport in for Hartlett, but lose Pettigrew and possibly Thompson and Schmidt (although Schmidt will need to be upgraded won't he?)

Which players will stay in from game vs Ainslie to cover them? Height down back could be a concern.

[SANFLnut]

Possibly (hopefully?) Kurtze out for Sturt. Will Pearce play at Power? What about injury returns for Neilson or Stokes who played in Round 2 for Sturt? Assume all others hold their spots after the spanking they gave Eagles. Maybe young Curnow comes in to Ruck after being rookied by Power.

Schmidt was upgraded last week.

Height will be a bit of a worry but Braydn Fisher has played well the last few weeks in defence and may get a call up. Possibly Rankine and Green may get call-ups as well

[SANFLnut]

Bradyn has a bit more height to play back than Green and Rankine obviously won't be down there as a key defender. Would Scotty Bricknell be a chance too?

[bloods08]

pretty sure he's injured at the moment.

I can't remember seeing Schmidt upgraded anywhere. I know wright has been but not schmidt

Yep he was definately upgraded last week incase someone pulled out of the Crows.....thats why he didnt play the Foxtel Cup game.

I think the crows placed both Porplyzia and Mackay on the long term injury list so they could upgrade both Wright and Schmidt.

Here is the Bloods side http://www.westadelaidefc.com.au/NEWS/L ... MLIST.aspx

[Brodlach]

Still looks a good side. I dont expect Schmidt to play though. Great to see Borholm get a crack, its overdue and he has been playing well in the reserves. Good luck Bomber

[HOORAY PUNT]

That game in 03 the crowd was in the 4000's I think from memory.

Kurtze is an interesting one. He was ruled out by Doctors for the Norwood game yet played and has damaged it again so I 'd be very surprised if he plays .

Question for Spelly when was the last time that West won there first three games

Iam sure if you to the bloodntars site and look in the West vs Sturt you might be avaiable to print one off from there

[Brodlach]

If you print off a free ticket, make sure you buy something from the bar or BBQ to help the club out.

How he got an AFL game last week I'll never know. So out of his depth at SANFL level let alone AFL level.
