Round 12: West v North - Saturday 23 June @ City Mazda Stadium

West v North
Saturday 23 June
City Mazda Stadium

Reserves: 11:30am
League: 2:10pm

West had their moments before succumbing to the Eagles, while North scrapped over the line against Centrals. Who will win this week?

One thing is certain. It won't be a 138 point margin like last time.
North are starting to get injuries to key midfielders. They wouldn't want to lose too many more. Tropeano, Thring, Allmond and Schwarz along with Barns who has virtually been playing as an extra midfielder have been the key to North's success.

West Adelaide has included another potential BankSA Rookie in its 23-man squad to face North on Saturday.

Flinders Park product Isaac Johnson (20, 179cm and 80kg) has been listed on a five-man extended interchange bench.

He has been joined by fellow inclusions Lachlan Evans and Dustin Head, who have been promoted from the Reserves.

Experienced utility Shannon Green will miss at least one match with an adductor injury while Brett Turner was squeezed out of the side which lost to the Eagles in Round 11.

Be a close game I think. North will start deserved favourites but I think Westies will run them close. Roosters by 8 points

Beech, Batley and Bates drop out of West's squad.
