Round 13: Sturt v Norwood - Sunday 26 June @ Peter Motley Oval

Sturt (1st 9-1 57.88%) v Norwood (9th 3-7 42.47%)
Sunday 26 June
Peter Motley Oval

Reserves: 11:25am
League: 2:10pm

Sturt continued their good form against Glenelg, while Norwood fell apart against Centrals. Will Sturt continue Norwood's destruction this week?

Sturt by over 10 goals & a possible 100+ points win

Funnily enough, I think Norwood have a pretty decent record at Unley over about the last 10 years. And whilst Norwood might have some decent cattle returning (Jefferies, Cachia and even Panos would be possibilities) it's hard to see it helping this time around though, where I think the Blues might restrict them to 4 or 5 goals. Would imagine that results in a fairly crushing loss

Norwood by 23

after seeing the named teams, i think Norwood are some sort of chance, i'll tip Sturt by 17 points but am tempted to back Norwood at $7.50

I'm a bit on edge about this one. Winning streaks always have an end, and Norwood look strong this week. If we can get the points here we'll be very happy going into our next bye.

Worth remembering that Norwood looked strong with this same squad earlier in the season and still weren't performing. Most of the returning players are short on match fitness, so if Sturt put in a decent shift they'll take the points.

Both have a similar game plan from what Im seeing in 2016
On paper Norwood should win
But on the green green grass at home ,I can envisage Sturt smashing Norwood in the second half and winning easily
Sturt too fit too settled

ST 15-15 [105]
NW 8-12 [60]

That's pretty good to even get half a scoreline correct

intriguing match to watch, Sturt were far too classy early on & this won them the match, yet Norwood seemed the better team from half way through the second term, it looked to me Norwood never showed any real intensity until after half time
