IMHO Sturt by 15-20 points. Obviously Sturt are flying at the minute and near full strength while North only just overcome the Eagles, so early on the form guide isn't as good as the Double Blues, and North may have some injury concerns this week.
So for me Sturt to get up but i still think North may end up being the better team by the end of the season.

It should be interesting match after a few North players went Sturt in the off season.
It's the perfect time for Jarman and the North boys to step up with a point to prove to the "deserters" but I can't see Sturt being defeated. 40-50 point win to Sturt

I think the fact it's a Prospect game is the only reason I'm checking my confidence a bit. Seems to be a bit of a monkey on our backs lately.

should be a cracker of a game, perfect ending would be a goal from cubillo in front of the members grandstand to win the game for sturt.

That would take a kick of Malcolm Blight proportions. Even he would struggle from there. :lol:

What deserters grant? Perrie was told he was longer required and Cubillo went because North couldn't / wouldn't improve his contract. Cubillo defintely wanted to stay at North and only went when a player manager got involved. Or at least that's the rub.

Not sure about, North only just overcoming the Eagles whufc. I think most would a gree the scoreboard flattered WWT. Allen was injured from 1/4 time and we were down to one on the bench from before the 3rd qtr. North just ran out of steam and add to that only one key ruck and a host of key players missing.

The bye will have given North time to get O'Hara and 4 or 5 other player back and with the core of the team on the field, added to O'Brien and Archard who both made a good start fro North, imHo, Sturt will find a different North waiting for them than the North who played round 1.

This is how it will really go. Cubillo runs through the pack and splits it open, takes a bounce, ducks and weaves, takes another bounce and finds Perrie on a lead, who handballs to the running Gum who drills the middle. The siren goes and Sturt have pulled off the biggest win so far of the season. A 12 goal victory to the Double Blues, with Chambers kicking 10 for the first time in his career at Unley. :wink:

Looking forward to getting to Prospect this week. It should be another good challenge for Sturt so early in the year, weather forecast is for a few showers and 23, perfect for footy. Great to see Rick held back Cubillo last week for a game in the 2nds, he did pretty well from what I hear now to let him loose on North. With Perrie playing well and Gum selected in Sturt's best it should present a great atmosphere, should be a great lead up to this game, deserves 5000 plus.
GO YOU DOUBLE BLUES.

So what? It will still be the first time he has kicked 10 goals since he has been at Unley.

Shoot me down Punk!
What I meant was since Chambers has been at Sturt...and the SANFL. :twisted:
