Saturday 7 May
Alberton Oval

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

Both sides have been major disappointments this season, and currently occupy the bottom two rungs on the ladder. Who will come away with the win this weekend?

I reckon we are a chance this week.

Port 60pts

What a blockbuster this will be

Westies a chance for sure... but Port will win by 42 points.

Port should probably win, with the AFL team getting a few injured players back the Magpies should be a bit stronger?

Port by 6 points.

Port by 3 goals. Westies are woeful at present

So are we...

WEST
West Adelaide has been dealt a blow with Adam Hartlett set to miss between 2-3 weeks with a hamstring strain ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash with Port at Alberton.
The former Carlton backman had only just worked his way back to full match fitness after enduring a frustrating pre-season which resulted in him not playing until Round 4.
His absence will be compounded by goalsneak Shannon Green missing through suspension after being found guilty of making forceful front-on contact with Eagle James Boyd on ANZAC Day.
Speedy Murray Bushrangers recruit Murray Waite has again been named on the extended interchange bench, along with midfielder Nick Favretto.
Backman Ben Klemke will replace Hartlett in a key defensive post while experienced pair Taite Silverlock and Daniel Caire have both been named in the 18 to start on the ground against the Magpies.
Chris Burgess is the other certain exclusion after being sent back to the Reserves.

I think West might just get over the line here as Port are soft.

Port by 10 goals. Few guys being picked on reputation and not form at the bloods.

Well we are as soft as marshmallows after that effort.WEAK AS PI##

Top to bottom maybe ?

Apparently the West Adelaide football club went to the city Mazda stadium police station today to report 22 players missing last seen at the SAWFL 2015 Grand final.

You seem a lot happier this year, Bundy

I am thank you

I have heard some very big off field concerns for West.

...care to elaborate??
