SANFL Round 11

[Drummond]

Round 11 Fixture:

Saturday 16th June
Sturt v Port, Unley Oval (ABC TV)

Sunday 17th June
North v Eagles, Prospect Oval
Glenelg v West, Challenge Recruitment Oval
South v Central, Hickinbotham Oval

Bye - Norwood


• Ivan Maric will be playing for the Magpies which is the ABC televised match.

• Rookie Greg Gallman will line-up at full back for North, whereas Bernie Vince is listed as an out due to the Crows. Nick Gill is still out injured, a very worrying sign.

• John Hinge will be in action for Glenelg, as will Richard Douglas. James Sellar could play his second league game of the season after spending the last two weeks in the reserves.

• Rhys Archard is in great form after a 40+ possession game last week for the Panthers, but James Turner has been dropped after a very quiet game.

• And Darren Pfeiffer will make his return to football with West Adelaide reserves. John Meesen will probably also be in action in the reserves.

Tips:

Sturt
North
Glenelg
South

Bentley and Thomson are back at Port so maybe a debut for one of the reserves lads??

Get down to Unley ICDM. I was at the corresponding game at Alberton to see the Blues kick 20.3 and storm home to beat Port in a great game

And no I wont fall asleep this time

 

[ICanDressMyself]

Yeah I'm heading down most likely sitting on the wing

 

[bus24]

I might head out Sunday to watch Richie and Hinge go around for the Bays.

 

[-CG-]

I'll hopefully head down to the Sturt game too

Go you Double Blues!
Anyway, did anyone see the Sturt vs Central Districts match last weekend? Great result but a standout for the dogs and best for them was a bloke called Daniel Havelberg, obviously a long way to go but worth keeping an eye on as a potential afl pickup? Would like to know what any doggies supporters think, as well as anyone who knows enough to offer an opinon as not everyone knows that much about the SANFL these day, esp myself.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

What a boring weekend, the comps inform team isn't even playing.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Bays to go back to back!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

And no I wont fall asleep this time

Did you still have your wallet and watch when you woke up?

Pleased to see the ABC get with the program and show the Port-Sturt game this week. I'm sure last week's 7th vs 8th blockbuster drew better figures than the boring 1st vs 2nd game they could have covered.

 

[RoosterLad]

To be fair, the ABC would try and show each team a relatively even amount of times and they do the schedule about a month in advance I think. Nobody really expected Sturt to be second, but a lopsided draw and a couple of surprises results have helped their cause. I don't think Norwood have even appeared on TV once this season which is a bit ridiculous.

In saying that, I would have preferred to watch Sturt vs Centrals and I would have paid attention to it instead of using the West vs South match as background noise.

No we havent. The Port match a couple of weeks back would have been perfect but no.

Go you Double Blues!

Can see it now, a premiership flag this year, invited to join the AFL next season in place of Port.............no, seriously

Daniel Havelberg has played in defence and forward for us this year and done the job in both spots, he is 19 and about 6' 2" . He seems to be one of those players who has a lot of time when he has the ball, unfortunately for him AFL scouts obsession with pure athletes may preclude him being drafted as he is definitely a "footballer" . If he doesnt go he should play many good games for C.D.F.C.

Sellar is playing league for glenelg this week... lining up in a forward pocket
Hope the kid stars like we all know he can

I just felt movement in my pants. Good news, cheers for the info

 

[bus24]

Well I'm certainly heading out to watch the Bays now

Go Jimmy

My tips
Sturt - 12 points
North - 20 points
Glenelg - 36 points
Central - 60+ points

I think the loss at Unley last week will spur the first really good performance from Centrals in a over a month. They've been on auto pilot since flogging the Eagles on Anzac day and that loss will wake them from their slumber.

 

[RoosterLad]

I don't understand how so many opposition supporters are confident of North beating the Eagles. Just about everybody has backed us on SAFooty, 2 journos out of 3 went for the merged side though.. but us North fans are not very confident at all. We rarely beat the Eagles.

Mate, we hadn't beaten them in 10 outings and we gave them a hiding last week!

 

[RoosterLad]

They have some guns back but have lost a couple of decent players while we have Motters back so it will be an epic battle I think, pity it's another Sunday game. I am so sick of Sunday footy this year in the AFL and SANFL.

Agreed, surely the SANFL have figured out Sunday isn’t all that viable. I think everyone much prefers Saturday games. I mean 1 Saturday game this week, 3 on Sunday, how stupid can you get?

 

[RoosterLad]

Yeah and is it because the Crows are playing at footy park?? They play at the bloody gold coast tomorrow night! So it's not like they are trying to avoid a clash. They have included more Sunday games this year because the odd Sunday game in the past drew a big crowd I think, so if they have 3 a week they will have record numbers

 

[Throughandthrough]

Its because the Bays and Nof played on Monday, they didnt want a 4 day break.

PS some big INS for West this week...

 

[Gets!]

Good to see Sellar back in the league side.

Come on son!
