SANFL Round 6

[saintal]

Norwood v Glenelg- Parade 7:20 Friday
Centrals v South- Elizabeth 2:10 Saturday
Port Power Reserves v Eagles- Alberton 2:10 Saturday
West v Ravens- Richmond 2:10 Saturday
North v Sturt- Prospect 2:40 Saturday

Should be a good round of footy. The Bays will be looking to bounce back on Friday night in front of hopefully a decent crowd. Can South extend their unbeaten run to 4 games at Elizabeth in the battle for the fabled Integrity Cup? Top of the table clash at Alberton, with the neighboring rivals doing battle. Will the Power Reserves front with 20 professionals once again? West will fancy their chances of breaking their drought against an ordinary Ravens' outfit. Important game at Prospect, both clubs need a win to keep in touch with 5th spot.

Actually a really tough round to tip, I could see each game going either way.
- Nord 11-20. Tigs have been good and will be filthy after what they described as their worst first quarter in years. Danger game for the Legs and must win between 4th and 5th. Looking forward to heading to the Parade on Friday night for a few Froths.
- Dogs 1-10. If Centrals don't win this their season will have more issues than Butchers kicking. They will find a way
- Port 11-20. Power have the bye so I'd expect them to be strong with a huge crowd at Alberton. Tipping an upset
- Adelaide 21-30. I'm still mystified that West won a Premiership 20 months ago. There would be some keen Crows Reserves players to impress after 2 losses at AFL level.
Sturt 11-20. If they can kick straight they could win by a lot more.

[Pseudo]

Norwood by 2 goals, only because it's at Norwood.
Central to win the Integrity Cup (tm) by 4 goals.
North on a hunch. Less than 6 points.

[Panther Pack]

South to get up in a close game. Could be a huge crowd!!!!

[therisingblues]

South to get up in a close game. Could be a huge crowd!!!!

I am beginning to notice a trend in your previews PP.

NORWOOD

Norwood recruit Brad McKenzie could play his first Macca’s League game for the Redlegs on Friday night.

Delisted by North Melbourne at the end of last season, McKenzie (188cm and 87kg) chose to don the red and blue instead of returning to his junior club Sturt during the off-season.

After missing the opening rounds with an ankle injury, the 23-year-old returned to the Reserves in Round 5 where he collected 17 disposals against Central in a half of football.

McKenzie has been joined in the 23-man squad by utility Harry Viney, who has also been named on the five-man extended interchange bench.

GLENELG

Glenelg coach Matt Lokan has reacted at the selection table by making three unforced changes for the clash with Norwood.

Lachie Earl, Jonty Scharenberg and Elliott Chalmers were all sent back to the Reserves in the wake of the Tigers’ 70-point loss to the Eagles in Round 5.

Star defender Christian Howard returns from a one-week suspension while Riley McFarlane’s impressive Reserves form has been rewarded with a spot in the forward pocket.

SOUTH

South Adelaide will be boosted by the return of star midfielder Brede Seccull for the clash with Central on Saturday.

The 2016 joint Knuckey Cup winner missed South’s win against due to a corked thigh suffered against Norwood in Round 4.

Port Adelaide v Eagles (Alberton Oval) – 2.10pm
Live video stream at digitalpass.sanfl.com.au | Live radio & scores at SANFL Website & App

PORT

Port Adelaide looks set to field its strongest possible line-up against the Eagles on Saturday.

With four AFL-listed players returning – Matt White, Dan Houston, Aaron Young and Peter Ladhams – the Magpies take on an ominous look.

Karl Amon and Brendon Ah Chee played for the Power last Sunday in China, making them the only certain exclusions from the 23-man squad.

Captain Steven Summerton has been listed on the five-man extended interchange bench.

INT: T. Wanganeen, Hampton

EAGLES

Eagles coach Michael Godden has a tough decision to make ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Port.

Co-captain Pat Giuffreda and Magarey Medal runner-up Angus Rowntree have again put their hands up for selection after being added to the 23-man squad.

But Godden must ponder whether it is worth changing a line-up which is undefeated and accounted for Glenelg by 70 points in Round 5.

If selected Rowntree will play his 100th Macca’s League match.

WEST

West Adelaide’s ruck division has received a boost with the return of Daniel Webb for the game against Adelaide on Saturday.

The versatile bigman replaces Chol Majok in the centre square, with the latter squeezed out of the 23-man squad with Hugh Haysman.

Reliable defender Jack Agostino has overcome hamstring tightness while impressive teenager Izak Rankine is back after playing state basketball last weekend.

Utility Josh Stevens will be hoping to survive the cut from the extended interchange bench so he can make his Macca’s League debut.

ADELAIDE

Adelaide will take a tall forward line into its match against West with the welcome addition of Josh Jenkins.

Sent back from AFL duty, Jenkins has been named at full forward to be flanked by fellow marking targets Paul Hunter and Harry Dear.

Jenkins has been joined in the 23-man squad by key defenders Kyle Cheney and Alex Keath, who have recovered from injury.

Development players Kurt Waterman and Sam Tharaldsen have been added to the five-man extended interchange bench.

NORTH

North Adelaide has made just one change for the match against Sturt at Prospect Oval on Saturday.

STURT

Key forward Henry Voigt is a chance to play his first Macca’s League game of the season against North on Saturday.

The strong-marking Voigt is one of two players added to the Double Blues’ 23-man squad, with premiership forward Kory Beard in doubt.

Beard reported concussion after a heavy hit from West’s Ben Klemke last Saturday and has been named on the extended interchange bench.

Does anyone know why the North v Sturt games is at 2.40?

TV game. Guessing C7 want it to start a little later so it runs into whatever crap they show at 5:30 followed by the news. Same thing happened last week.

Will the Power reserves create mystery injuries to their 2 worst AFL listed players so that Summerton fits into the team?

That's right - on any AFL list there are probably a couple of players that aren't up to SANFL league standard when they are first drafted. I can recall Cam Ellis-Yolmen playing reserves for a long time for us whilst on the Crows list, and now he would be in their best 22 or pretty close to it. In most cases though, these players won't make it to the big time.

It does make a mockery of the finals rule which limits 17 AFL listed players - the intention of the rule was to "weaken" the team, but if you had this weekend's scenario in finals, I would say that if you took out the worst 5 from the 22 Power players available and added the best 4 top up players, it will be a stronger team.

if Summerton is dropped, does he go and play Reserves, rested, or plays Ammo's?

If there is a kid dominating the Magpies ressies but can;t get a league game sue to Power Reserves, does he have the option of transferring to another SANFL club? even after 30/6?

There's 8 or 9 players currently under contract but I'd expect usual transfer rules would apply for the rest.
