Round 16
Saturday 10 July 2010
Sturt v Central @ House Brothers Oval ABC-TV
Aidan Riley seems to have soldified his place within the Sturt League team. He is named on the Half Forward Flank and will be featured around the stoppages throughout the day. Keep on eye on this Category 4 ranga on the TV. Welcome back to league football Brodie Martin! After spending only 2 games in the Reserves, Brodie talent/form has forced Luke Norman to consider adding him to the extended bench where there is a good chance he will come in for Michael Bratton.
Jack "Of-All-Trades" Gunston is penciled in at Centre Half Forward. Whether he stays there and presents as a target downfield for the Dogs remains to be seen. He will also feature in and around the midfield stoppages at some stage you would think. Brian Donnelly's name is no longer listed before Economou in The Advertiser. This had been a tradition for season 2010 and it's sad day for us Crows followers in the SANFL. Good luck with future endeavours Brian.
North v Port @ Prospect Oval
Matt Wright owns the Left Forward Pocket for North. Just like a dog marking his territory, expect Matty to raise the left leg 15cms or so and give the left pocket at Prospect a good spray. RoosterLad please keep an eye on this behaviour!!! Wright continues to be a strong candidate for Senior List elevation in 2011.
No Crows in action for the Magpies, although Andrew McLeod's name was thrown around earlier in the week. Some good U18's running around in their league team though. The diminutive Sam Gray and towering Scott Lycett will be up forward. Another Port underage forward will be in the Reserves team, Jamie Solly.
West v South @ City Mazda Stadium
Christopher Schmidt earns another week with the Bloods. Disappointing for him but an unchanged lineup for the Crows was warranted. Schmidty's loss is Westies gain as they will no doubt rely on his influence through the centre of the ground and around clearances.
Someone who Schmidt may be looking to feed off around the stoppages is Shaun McKernan. Let's see if all that ruck/midfielder work at training will be utilised to shark some of SMACK's taps. McKernan is named to start the ruck. I think this is due to Willits rucking for West and South believing they can get better value playing Cockshell forward and trying to stretch West's defence. Interesting to see if this pans out. Myke Cook is a travelling as an emergency to Perth.

Norwood v Eagles @ Coopers Stadium
A murder of Crows will be present at this game and it should be chock full of interested onlookers, most notably Drummond, then Neil Craig and then Peter Jonas.
Norwood sees the return of Will Young. Drumm will no doubt be salivating at the site of Big Will running off half back linking with Paul Puopolo via handball. He is named to start at Half Forward Flank, I wonder if he will stay there? Maybe because Jonas and Georgiou have filled in admirably in his absence, Bassett has decided to play him forward.
The Eagles have some notable in's. Chris Knights will return to action at the Half Forward Flank. I think I speak for all Crows fans that we hope Chris gets through the four quarters unscathed. Brett Burton also returns from his knee operation. Surprisingly the Eagles have named him on the Wing. These two inclusions will no doubt be a pleasant injection to an Eagles line up looking to solidfy a finals spot. Drummond's other recipient of a gushing man-crush, Luke Thompson, will look to improve on an impressive showing against Sturt last week. Thompson will start at Centre Half Back and look to gather a heap of ball across the backlines, a la Nathan Bock circa 2008. Named in the forward pocket is Jared Petrenko. Look for him to pressure the Norwood defenders with his chasing and tackling. I wonder if Paul Puopolo will be lined up on him, if so, that will be a great duel. Jarrhan Jacky will add to his collection of Reserves games, he seems to have been leapfrogged by Knights and Burton for a spot in the League team.

I read Drummond's review of the Crows today after I read his comment about Riley. We're in the ACT and so never see any SANFL except the video clips. I always look forward to hearing about the SANFL games.
