Sturt by a goal in a low scoring game

Will have a couple out this week Sturt by 3 goals.

North a certainty … lose to bottom, then beat the top team the week after … it's in their DNA.

What's the story with Battersbys knee injury? Still being listed as TBC after 2 weeks...

Does anyone know the extent of Van Wyk's ankle injury?
On the NAFC website it states indefinite.
North's midfield appears to be missing him big time.

still another 4-6 weeks Im hearing

go blues. Us by 11 points!

No wonder Martin Mattner was happy as the Blues maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a win against the team to beat, Glenelg.

After conceding the lead late in the last term only to bang on 2.2 without reply in time-on to beat the back-to-back champs by eight points would have been good enough on its own.

But Sturt was down a couple of rotations with Oliver Grivell (ankle) and Henry Carey (shoulder) injured and Flynn Perez having copped a bad knock. This was a win of great character, the grit it showed to snare an unlikely triumph more pleasing than kicking away from South, Port, Norwood and West in the first four rounds.

North will be determined to show plenty of grit after a win slipped away last week when it seemed to have West Adelaide’s measure.

The Bloods kicked the first five goals of the game with the wind but the Roosters were in front late in the third quarter.

But they managed just 1.7 for the last quarter and despite having 60 inside-50s to 45 fell 13 points short – 7.16 to 10.11. It’s all about making the most of your opportunities. Last year in this clash at Prospect, North kicked 10.3 to beat Sturt 8.9. Can the Roosters take their chances this time?

We've played 1 good half of footy, and that was our first half of Round 1 against Norwood.

Sturt to win by as many as they like.

Sturt by 23 pts.

We’ve not got a great record recently at Prospect and have a few on the sidelines.

Expecting a response from Notth after last week and think it will be a close one.

Blues by 10

Entertaining game at Prosvegas
