Round 7: North Adelaide v South Adelaide at Prospect

Can North move to even keel on points, or will South continue their form run?

Digital Pass

Always a tough ask at Prospect.
I think South can win if they can play 4 quarters of footy- something they have failed to do so far this season. It will be an interesting week at selection with a few in doubt I believe, so our depth is beginning to be tested. Its also about time a few South players started looking after one of their own who is belted from pillar to post and siren to siren by one of the oppositions nuffys every week too; pretty clear the umpires are turning a blind eye to it as well.
South to win by 2 pts.

SOUTH
South Adelaide will launch the career of a promising ruckman against North on Saturday.
Reynella FC giant Cam McGree (20, 198cm and 102kg) has been named to start at full forward as the Panthers continue to develop their youth from within.
McGree has been joined in the Panthers’ 23-man squad by small forward Darnell Tucker and speedy utility Hayden Sampson, who have been named on the extended interchange bench.
Experienced utility Ben Haren will miss six weeks with a fractured fibula while Emmanuel Irra is still a fortnight away due to a quad injury.
