Both sides are coming off disappointing losses last week. Will West get off the mark for 2014, or will North make it 2 from 3 in 2014?

Thursday night is a normal training night, both teams be looking for redemption from last week. North in a close one.

if Westies get a few back i'll tip West, but i want to see the teams first

Tough game this one. I think Westies by less then 2 goals.

North by 3-4 goals.

West's side.

That's showing great confidence in your own team, Bundy

West by 17 points

Bloods by 3 Goals

I have to tip North on the sheer numbers piling up on the injury list for West Adelaide. That said however, its my observation that Alan Obst is one of the best players on North Adelaide's list and his loss is a blow to the cocks. The team is always bigger than just one player, yet his loss last week seemed to very much unsettle the Roosters line up and they will have to account for it this week to win this one.

Apologies BigPhil, deleted my last post.

I am tipping the Bloods to have there first win for the season over the Roosters

Interesting that the Advertiser online lists the teams from the backlines first.

I think it's an even playing field with this game considering North have a couple of quality players missing due to injury..
Fine weather predicted, lets hope we get a decent crowd.

Westies to win (just)   

Any results so far?

North won by 15 points

Hate to say this but I think our year is over already

Are injuries playing a part in this?

Certainly some player losses particularly in defence of the caliber West had won't help.

No excuses last night Chambo...North had some quality footballers out as well.. mind you there was one player who stood out, but he was dressed in white, who copped a spraying (literally) after the game when going down the race.
A spectator sprayed him with some kind of fluid which the so called player in white responded in asking for our favorite Weslo's to act.

I think the player in white was the one who won the big SANFL raffle last year.

''The Boy'' won the raffle
