sanfl round 18 south v north @ noarlunga

[bayman]

can south finally beat north this year ? or will north win & stay in the 5 ?

my tip north by 6 goals

[Rooster_cracker]

To have any chance of finals north need to win this game because the next two weeks after this game for north will be tough with central & glenelg. this will be a tough slog down noarlunga Roosters by 13pts.

[Sojourner]

Panthers will have some key players back in, Baird and probably Otten to name a few, the finals are pretty much out of reach for the Panthers, yet we can put some respectability back into our win loss ratio by winning as many of our remaining games as we can. No doubt with the finals being out of reach and players having to play for thier spots for next year I think that we will see a lift in form from South and I think that we are a good chance of winning this one at home this week. South by 28pts for me.

Hopefully south by anything.

In his post match interview after last round ANJ strongly said words to the effect that "these 21 lads will get the chance again/no-one will be dropped". Today I read that North have likely inclusions returning from injury/illness. So whats does ANJ do? He was very gung ho about what his "boys had been through"wa wa wa .. the rumors... the innuendo... and how they were going to just remain honest to each other and keep tight. So how does he get around this statement??

North by a couple of shanks off the side of the boot.

A bit like his "line in the sand" comment from a fortnight ago re playing injured players which he hasn't stuck to - mind you he has been sprouting that line for 5 years but continues to pick injured or underdone players, who it appears are part of the chosen few at Prospect. You do have to wonder what his thinking is at times???

However it would be hard to leave Younie out of the best 21 given he only missed the last game with flu plus Gill is an out so that free's up one spot.

Care to re-visit that post based on the named line-ups? 3 big IN's for North and 2 big OUT's for South.

[saintal]

what are the ins and outs for both clubs?

Cheers

Cheers

buy the 'tiser!

But to save you the trouble here they are:

North's IN's: Younie, Sporn, S. Motlop
North's OUT's: Gill (Crows), Wintle (Quad Inj), B White (Omitted)

South's IN's: Otten, Baird, King, Smith
South's OUT's: Prendergast (Shoulder), Warren (Thumb)

[blueandwhite]

Smith to me looked horribly underdone in the twos last week, while he probably needs another game in the twos the absence of Gasser and dugga will sorely test our depth and size.
Parry is also carrying an injury and was far from his best last week.I'm looking forward to seeing the new breed of panther youngsters in action again.

[darley16]

Do any Southies know about Honner, appeared from nowhere to be playing CHB never saw his name in the maggoes just poped up last 2 weeks?

[MightyEagles]

[Big Phil]

I think South's OUTS are a bit too much for them to cover and with a couple on handy INS for the Roosters, I think the visitors will get the points down at the South Pole. North by 37 pts

Looking forward to a big win by the chooks this week, unfortunately I've succumbed to the dreaded cold that has been going around and wont be able to make it

Well at least you can sit in the comfort of your own home with a nice cup of tea (or brandy ) and watch your mob on the telly

Mate, I only seem miss games I expect we will win, the only other this year was a few weeks ago at Norwood. I hope my prediction isn't that far out again

So you know North lose when you dont attend and you still don't go?
Come on mate, a cold is nothing compared to some of the hangovers I've rocked up to games with!

[Ian]

This one's been worse than 99% of hangovers I've ever had
