Round 2 - Sturt v Glenelg at PMO on Saturday at 1.10

Sturt looked good against Norwood in Round 1, while Glenelg dropped off after a good start at home.

Looks like a Sturt win here.

Sturt for me but will have to fight for it.

Sturt by 2 goals.

Sturt by 53

We'll need to get our act together and start kicking a respectable score. So far this year in 4 outings (3 trials and 1 real game) we're averaging just 8.5 goals per game.

8.5.53 to 0.0.0 and I'll be spot on.

Sturt by plenty, probably 10 goals.
Going to be a very long year for Glenelg

Good rivalry in recent times between Glenelg and Sturt makes for some good games. Will be a good measure of where the Bays are at after last week. Sturt by 43pts.

with the likelyhood of a couple of inclusions along with a full four quarter effort i'll tip the bays to snatch it by 1 solitary point, bays must man up on Hone

Sturt

Sturt has added attacking options Matthew Duldig and Jordan Dawson for its contest against Glenelg at Gliderol Stadium on Saturday.
Veteran Duldig and impressive youngster Dawson both played in the Reserves against Norwood in Round 1 and could be included in the final 21 to face the Tigers.
Originally tied to Glenelg, Dawson is a smooth-moving utility who has been selected in the McDonald’s SA Under-18 squad. He chalked up 3.4 with his seven shots on goal against the Redlegs to go with 13 disposals and eight marks.
Goalsneak Ben Hansen has been listed on the extended interchange bench despite suffering concussion against the Redlegs last Thursday night.
Having an extra two days to recover between matches could assist Hansen in proving his fitness to maintain his place in the Double Blues’ final 21.

Glenelg

Glenelg has regained the experience of Aaron Joseph for its clash with Sturt at Peter Motley Oval on Saturday.
Joseph, a former Carlton midfielder, has served his one week suspension for striking West’s Jack Agostino in the Tigers’ final trial match.
‘’Aaron’s experience and attack on the footy will make for a welcome addition to our side,’’ Glenelg football manager Paul Sandercock said.
Promising forward Darcy Bailey has been named on the extended interchange bench after kicking five goals in the Reserves against South Adelaide on Good Friday.
‘’Darcy is doing everything right,’’ Sandercock said. ‘’He’s a smart footballer and after his performance last week, he’s certainly putting his hand up for selection.’’
Ruckman Josh Miller has also been added to the Tigers’ 23-man squad while former Gold Coast Sun Hayden Jolly has been sent back to the Reserves.

I didn't see anything from Duldig last week to suggest a call-up to the 1's, so either someone's in doubt, they have a match up in mind, or I didn't pay enough attention.

Hansen would have to be the one in doubt. Concussed early in the game last Thursday. Most Sturt supporters expected Calabrese to come up from the twos, but his kicking is a bit of an issue. At least Duldig can kick goals if he gets a few chances. Particularly from long range. That's something we missed in the last 1/4 against Norwood, with Hansen out of the game.

Duldig is usually a good TV player too.
