Round 4: South Adelaide v Sturt - Saturday 2.10pm

Both teams coming off great wins last week. Who can keep the momentum running?

I think South are a pretty good side, perhaps a player or two short of premiership material but maybe not.

Sturt are reasonable, but South to win nicely.

Short being the operative word !
We are being thrashed in the ruck but are still winning enough of it at ground level to post a good score.Caillotto and freitag will battle on, their second efforts are great, but they were both 5-10cm to short to compete against the likes of Hayes and Ladhams last week.
Interesting that Dean Brogans nephew and Michelle Brogan-Griffiths son is having a run in the 2s this week.... hes 204cm.

Always tough against Sturt, especially on that primary school sized ground of theirs, but this it at Noarlunga, Im tipping South by 2 pts.

Hard to line up Sturt's win last week, as West were woeful. Sturt spent the last quarter as a training run, racking up short kick stats and not really trying to score. It was bizarre.

For all that, they played with spirit and organisation and were impressive. Liked the look of Voss, Petullo is dangerous (West tried to recruit him, but didn't persist) and Battersby just racks them up. A few of their lesser-known players were good.

To me, South have been developing a 'home-grown' side for the last couple of years, bolstered by the experience of Broadbent and now Gibbs. Smart choices to add to a young group.

They've got some young guns - Fitt and Milsom (father and grandfather both played for Westies - what happened there?).

South nicely in a tough contest.
