South owe 'em one. Hopefully the loss earlier in the year in which we lead 5 goals to zip at 1/4 time is at the back of their minds this week.

Westies are well over due, but surely South at home will win this.

I believe it's the ABC game.

i think after south lost today & any chance they had to make the 5 went out the window with that loss today so they may have a bit of a 'let down' & west will surprise them & win again (against south) :shock:

If it's wet & cold and it's the ABC game, they will be lucky to get a 1000 people there.

McCoy if folks like you and me and other Westies and Southies sit home this game will record the lowest attendence maybe ever! It will be cold and wet and the all the usual suspects will be all over this game if only a few hundred turn up, the media will be calling for mergers, other supporter groups will be asking about the relevance of our clubs and the tv footage will look appauling. However to avoid all the rubbish that many will be waiting to fling at our clubs it is up to us, the supporters to attend, if not, we deserve all the negativity that will no doubt follow.

Don't forget fans can sit in their cars around the ground, with the air conditioner on...

Certainly can...if you're planning on keeping the air-conditioner on all day, perhaps pre-arrange for the RAA to be nearby though because your battery might get flooded.

I'm looking forward to seeing Westies this week. I've only seen them a few times this year, and what I have seen has been quite disappointing. South were very impressive two weeks ago, getting over North. After knocking off my boys recently, I think they should go in deadset favourites for this one.

R&B, might catch you at the game. Has been far too long old friend. :wink:

West were gritty against us at BO. Terrible at Unley.

South have improved and at their best are highly competitive.

SA by 4 goals.

Go Panthers! 8)

You can't have the a/c on without the engine running, therefore the battery won't get "flooded", unless there is a massive king tide! It might get flattened, though, if you don't have the engine running. Sorry for the over-pedanticness! MOI XX

Surely if we play as well as we did last week we will beat south.

It is that word IF we play as well. I would like to think that the guys would've got some encouragement out of the way they played last week and continue on with that. That is all i think we can ask of them at this stage. With that effort they would go very close to beating South [-o< who have obviously played with some more spirit themselves of late.

Even though it is the only saturday game surely the ABC would've been better off doing one of the sunday games that people would be interested in.

They are mate they are putting on a South Adelaide game! - The oldest club in the SANFL with the most tradition of all SANFL sides, is it any wonder that pretty much every game has either been televised or put on the radio this year???

As much as I barrack for Westies as my second side, nothing will give me greater pleasure this Saturday afternoon than seeing the mighty Panthers absolutley smash the living suitcase out of them and square it up for last time! :wink:
