SANFL Round 8

[Drummond]

Round 8 2009:

Friday 15th May
Norwood v Glenelg – Norwood

• Young defender Will Young will line-up in defence for Norwood and will look to build on a very impressive start to his league career. With no word yet on the Norwood side, it is unknown whether Aaron Kite will make his first league appearance of the season. Given the Redlegs loss of a key defender last weekend, it is expected he will play. For Glenelg James Sellar is named on the bench and will play, remains to be seen how well though. Brian Donnelly will once again play in the seconds where he has been playing some impressive footy, Jimmy could learn a thing or two from the Irishman.

Saturday 16th May
Sturt v South – Unley (ABC TV)

• Rookie Brodie Martin is named on the wing for Sturt and for South Shaun McKernan will most likely start on the bench and relieve in the ruck and Myke Cook will the spend the majority of his time in the midfield.

West v Eagles – Richmond

• Rookie Chris Schmidt is named in the back pocket for West Adelaide. For the Eagles Robert “the clock is ticking” Shirley is named in the midfield and Jarrhan Jacky is named on an extended bench but should play.

Central v Port – Elizabeth

• Jonathon Griffin is named in the ruck for Central while rookie Ricky Henderson is still named in the reserves. Hendo will most likely win his first Charlie (yes, first) before he makes his SANFL league debut. There is no word on Port’s side yet but Ivan Maric will most likely play instead of travelling with the Crows.

Bye – North

Be sure to head down to the Parade tomorrow night to catch what should be a good game of footy. Hopefully we get to see Young v Sellar at some stage.

Hendo must be wondering whst he's gotta do, even though Central is so strong.

 

[Riggy1]

Just to let you know.

For those interested NAFC will have a trial V the State U18s this Sunday @ Prospect @ 2pm.

North's side will include at least Gill, Davis, Gallman & Sloane.

I would give a link but it is a rival forum (North Adelaide's)

I thought it was Saturday, but with it on Sunday ill go to all of Norwood vs Glenelg, West vs Eagles and North vs 18s.

Plus watching Adelaide vs Brisbane on foxtel.

 

[KUNG FU]

Who the hell would you drop from Centrals for Hendo though? There's no certainty he could bring it to seniors level just yet. He won't get the space to run he's had in reserves. Having said that: gun.

 

[WALL-e]

True.

 

[Drummond]

Kite still in the reserves. Will Young named at FB.

 

[conVINCEd]

Where's Hentschel?

When he hurt his knee in round 2 they said it was a four weeker. Its now six weeks later and he still isn't back in the SANFL.

In the advertiser yesterday it said that he is having a test this week.

So I assume that he failed the fitness test

Hentschel is playing reserves for the Eagles on the weekend.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

I heard Gold Coast have offered every single one of their picks for the next 10 years for Hendo. Crows have turned it down as it is unfair on the Crows.

My football weekend:

Norwood vs Glenelg
West vs Eagles
Port vs Richmond

 

[jo172]

Am looking forward to seeing the Sellar/Young show at the Parade, may get there early to see Donnelly run around in person for the first time.

The Griffin, Maric match up shapes up as a big one!

 

[cmndstab]

Good to hear Hentschel is back in the reserves


League footy next week for Kite and Hendo, I'll back them both in Who wants to give me odds?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Kite still in the reserves. Will Young named at FB.

Should just ask to switch clubs and get away from the absolute rabble that once was the proud Norwood Football Club, the way they handled the sacking of a player this week was an absolute disgrace.

 

[RoosterLad]

Care to elaborate PB? I couldn't find much info on the other site...

I'll PM you mate with where to go to have a look.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Same here would be great.

 

[cmndstab]

Wouldn't mind hearing about that myself.

 

[brucetiki]

I'll be heading out to Hamra Homes tomorrow night (CRASH, BANG, yes I'm not watching the Crows live tomorrow night, but will watch the replay later), to check out Henderson's progress in the reserves, and to see how Symes and Maric go in the league.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Same here would be great.

On its way.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

On its way.

Man what a disgrace.

 

[Cap]

hang on punchy, you can let me know as well. this sound like another disappointing Norwood act.

 

[Jars458]

Just post the link, we can all do with some good Norwood bashing. Really a team worse than Port in many resepcts.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Done Cap, and Jars it links to another forum so I don't think I can and its no hard to find anyway really if you go looking.

 

[RoosterLad]

If you link to that site (I know it is a forum separate to the main sight but still) then you do cop the cane. The Mods here get upset as they know it is a much better site than Bigfooty.
