Round 7: Port v West - Sunday 20 May @ Alberton Oval

Port v West
Sunday 20 May
Alberton Oval

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

Both sides come into this match coming off losses, and in a scheduling quirk, the respective Reserves sides face off for the second week in a row. Who will come away with the win this week.

Port are playing with a reduced list as they are taking 24 players to play in that footy mad heartland of Shanghai. Westies can win this if they produce their best game but getting the choccies at Alberton is always hard. Port in a close one by 7 points.

Port i believe will take 26 players to China. Upset maybe.

And the seconds teams playing each other twice in two weeks

Oops

Wonder if the Reserves result will be similar to last week's 136 point win to West?

Missed that. You don't see many 22 goal thumpings so a repeat would be a somewhat significant % boost.

I put it down to changing what they call players in the reserves competition. For whatever reason three went to the Eagles and one to Glenelg

Heard a story that the “Port reserves reserves” won’t be in the sanfl reserves competition from 2019

Never should have been.

Only won by 135 points this week. Westies are slipping.

Great win by the League, saw an opportunity and took full advantage by playing harder, smarter footy. Well done.

Well done Bloods. Power Twos sitting 9th and the Ravens 10th- beautiful.
