TOPIC:

1st derby of the year.....SF not travelling well, EF so so TBH.....should be 3 good games on the day. SF colts have lost 2 already, EF unbeaten.....SF reserves are young and improving, be interested to see what Monaco does.....EF reserves kicked 2.12 after 1/2 time to lose by a goal v EP, really need to improve that part of their game big time!

The league game won't be a walk over.....contest of the small forwards I reckon....EF need Dick and Duffy to step up.....LesterSmith has been great and a surprise packet TBH.....Simpson back?....Menagola gone for the year with a knee....Brown and Dalziell to be kept over till Sat game for WCE?....ditto for SF Hams perhaps?.....McGough and BOB suspended or not?....big loss if they are....Henson back hopefully.....debuts for talls in Stokes or Jupp maybe?....be interested to see what pans out.....

Colts should be a good game with 2nd v 3rd. Still not happy that it has to be on a Friday night. EF by 1pt.

Ressies will be interesting with South playing a lot better than what they have been in previous seasons. EF by 20pts.

In the league I think that would have to be the worst side SF have fielded in a very long time. Tighe looks like the only winning position on the field. EF by 10+ goals.

Crowd: 3500.
BOG: Sutcliffe

PS: Great to see Jupp make his debut.

Freeze, I think the large number of ins & outs for most games this season has impacted on EF performances this year. On the bright side EF have been able to give games to good players who would have waited later to get a chance. This paid handsome dividends against Subiaco a few weeks ago. The loss of Young is proving hard to fill as well.

Last year EF found SF challenging in their final 2 games against them, scraping home in the second & narrowly losing in the third. Keeping that in mind & this being a Derby makes this a danger game for the Sharks. EF will want to consolidate their spot in the 4 & put some nails in the SF coffin.

I am looking forward to attending this game after missing the last few due to work (Subiaco)& holidaying in Tasmania (Perth & EP).

Perhaps you should have stayed in the apple isle mate - SF in for a big one today. Expect the unexpected =)
