Round 15 West v Port - Saturday 9 July @ City Mazda Stadium

West (10th 2-10) v Port (7th 4-8 47.31%)
Saturday 9 July
City Mazda Stadium

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

Both sides are now pretty much playing for pride in season 2016, despite Port's big win at Elizabeth last weekend. Who will come away with the 2 points?

After last week, you'd have to say the Power reserves would win, last Friday night in the ''Locker Room'' Jimmy Toumpas was asked questions by Barry Curtin & spoke to the gathering & said ''the maggies' haven't given up on playing finals this year''

West Adelaide has boosted its scoring power after regaining Shannon Green for the clash with Port at City Mazda Stadium on Saturday.
Accepting a three-match ban from the SANFL Incident Review Panel for engaging in rough conduct in Round 10, Green will be fresh and eager to make an impact after being named in the forward pocket.
Green has been joined in the Bloods’ 23-man squad by former Richmond utility Brad Helbig, goalsneak John Noble and possible debutants Josh Ryan and Jack Evans.
Ryan – originally from Mildura – is looming as a replacement for key defender Adam Hartlett, who has been sidelined by a calf injury.
Evans – from Flagstaff Hill – has been named numerous times on the extended interchange only to be trimmed before the bounce.
Former Essendon rookie Tyson Slattery has been sidelined by a hamstring strain while Kenneth Karpany has been sent back to the Reserves.
Midfielder Kaine Stevens will play his 50th IGA League match.

Think Port will be too strong here. A win by 4 - 5 goals

Anybody home ?

Yeah I am.
4 minutes into the 2nd quarter we were six goals down, against a side that had only won 4 games for the year. It's just deplorable. My time following footy tells me you don't get these sorts of results consistently without there being some deep-seated attitudinal problems.

Sorry to busy get warm after Saturday. Thank god there are only 5 gams to go
