Hamra Homes Oval

EAGLES vs STURT
Woodville Oval

NORTH vs SOUTH
Prospect Oval

Sunday 22th June
WEST vs PORT
Broadspectrum Oval

the first game on that list is definitely huge. it gives us the glenelg football club the ultimate challenge as there is no sterner test in sa footy

Spelly, when was the last time the dogs lost at Elizabeth..?

north beat you guys there.......last year?

Will the hoodoo continue or will the monkey be off Sturts back ?

Nup, year before, we remain the only away team to win under lights there.

I assume (and hope) the ABC will be covering the game at Elizabeth as I'd tape that and watch it when I get home for sure, should be a ripper! Be interesting to see if Glenelg's form is unaffected by the large ground.

I think that will be the real test for the Bays Wedgie, the larger expanses of Elizabeth Oval. Many posters, including myself, are of the opinion that Glenelg might nt be suited to the bigger grounds but I'll guess we'll know come 5pm next Saturday.

Yes, the game is being covered on the telly by the ABC, only the Doggies 2nd TV game I think, behind the Anzac Day clash against your mob Wedgie. I think this game is certainly going to be a cracker and I can't wait. Everyone keeps talking about it being a huge challenge for Mark Mickan's boys coming out to Hamra Homes Oval and performing, but IMHO, I reckon the bigger challenge is on Centrals to really find the form they are capable of as shown against Port Adelaide @ Alberton a few weeks back. That was clearly our best performance of the year to date and came after the very uninspired, lack lusture performance against the Bloods at Richmond the week before.

Now, I for one, am certainly hoping that as our last game, against South at home was very similar to that of the West win, I really hope the side that beat Port that day, comes out to play against the Tigers next Saturday. I honestly think that based on present form, the Bays deserve to go into this game as very slight favourites but all I know is that it is the most anticipated game I've looked forward to all year. I heard on the ABC coverage yesterday that Grima's knee is likely to keep him out of this game so that's 1 less tall forward our defenders have to worry about. There is also a slight chance that Brad Symes might line up for the Dogs in this game (possibly in the reserves though) after coming back from his ankle injury sustained playing for the Adelaide Crows. The other possible change to the Doggies line up could be the Power listed youngster Ryan Williams coming back into the side. He was a late withdrawal from the South game but still don't know what for, assume an injury of sorts.

Anyway, of course I'm going to tip my side, The Doggies, but I'm not overly confident and think it will only be by 1 - 12 points

GO U DOGGIES...

Big Phil...

i actually think glenelgs quick midfield are suited to bigger grounds, playing at elizabeth where central have an almost unbeatable (in recent times) record is a daunting prospect though, win lose or draw it should be a 'cracker' & it's about time the abc got it right with their telecast because they should put what looks to be the best match on tv to promote the competition & if the friday game is the best game it should be replayed on the saturday

Cool, Im glad its on TV, I'll watch it when I get home from Prospect and pretend its like the old days when the Big Replay was on!

& the kenmax goal of the day

apparently there is a doubt about 2 of our defenders, grima should be back in though and is capable at both ends of the ground

It isn't lost, just part of the local car borrowing scheme and no one had informed him beforehand.

After we won there in 2004 in Round 3, North have won twice there (2005 and 2006) and that's it.

Basically borrowing without asking.
