Rd 3 2008 North v Sturt

[sturtpeter]

Want a drink on that prediction, Wedgie?

I would expect the gracious people of Prospect to give both Cubillo and Perrie a warm-welcome back at the mecca of the SANFL

[the joker]

where is nick gill at in his recovery. i heard that he pulled out with soreness in the westies reserves. will he be right this week???

[therisingblues]

What's the forecast for this weekend? I heard earlier that there was a chance for showers, is this, still the case?
Expect North to come out firing for this one, they are still one of three undefeated clubs and haven't done anything to suggest that they may lose this week. Perhaps Sturt's biggest challenge to date considering the Dogs actually go out of their way to demostrate how little the first few rounds means to them. I think the Roosters will be a little more prepared and better up to strength with the return of a few players (or so I have read).
Should be a good crowd, but then I was surprised that so few went to Unley last week. Perhaps Prospect is central enough for both Sturt and North to get the numbers there for what this game deserves. At least 5,000+

Should be a good game but Sturt will start warm favourites. They have had two good hit outs where as North have had the one game which was okay except for North's "rip van winkle plan" in the last 20 minutes.

North still looking to settle their best 21 due to injuries. Looks like O'Hara will play ressies in his first run for the year, Allan and Ivens both in doubt but expect Ward to come in.

Where Damon White plays may be a factor especially seeing he has not played a game for past 3 weekends! He was touted to play CHB this season (with the Powers blessing) but it appears with lack of fwds in from at the Power that White will play up Fwd in a bid to get back into the Power's 22. Expect to see Daniel Stewart rucking with Burford this week?

Should be a great game all being equal but from a north point of view it would be no suprise if Sturt won comfortably.

[Blue Boy]

Sturt to win by 3 goals !!!

[CUTTERMAN]

Theri, 23 with some showers, there's a front passing fri night/ sat morn, but some rain behind it going from today's charts. I'd think 5000 would be a good crowd to expect but I've been disapointed over the last 2 weeks so I give up, obviously I expect too much in a crowd. Great challenge ahead for the club and a great game of footy.

[Wedgie]

I hope 5000 doesnt turn up as Prospect's currently run down facilities struggles to cater for 2500.

[CUTTERMAN]

2500? Are they just run down or are they doing renno's? If they're run down is this a local council issue

[Wedgie]

:shock: 2500? Are they just run down or are they doing renno's? If they're run down is this a local council issue

Mainly being run down, dunno about the council, CEO told us they currently have the best ever working arrangement with a council ever.
Its not just things being run down its also stupid decisions being made at times by the club.

[CedeNullis]

This game should have been the ABC1 game.

[sturtpeter]

Life's a roller-coaster.

way the Chief was running around last night reckon he may be in with a good chance of a league spot. Ivens was in amongst the action as well, notice he had his helmet back on the head last night, dunno if that is a normal training thing with him or not

Thanks Cutterman.
A bit of wet weather footy hey? Though it will probably just be a bit greasy by the sounds, I willbe looking forward to seeing how the teams handle the conditions. No doubt both sides are great in the dry.

[Barto]

Already celebrating a win :p

[Country Cock]
