Round 18: West v South - Saturday 30 July @ City Mazda Stadium

West v South
Saturday 30 July
City Mazda Stadium

Reserves: 11:25am
League 2:10pm

West season continues to go downhill while South beat Centrals at home for first time in 10 years. Will West cause a boil over or will South keep their top 3 hopes in tact.

at Richmond it wont be a complete demolition like last week but i still think South will win by over 7 goals, i'm sure they still have aspirations to be minor premiers so if Sturt or the Eagles slip up they'll need to have a percentage boost & this match will help that cause, South by over 7 goals

The Panthers let one slip against the Bays a few weeks ago, entering the game with a poor attitude.
Pretty sure it wont happen again, there's a lot to play for in the next few weeks..
Panthers by 8 goals.

We're not even a danger game anymore.

I reckon it is a danger game. If we bring the same attitude we had when we played the bay's ....we are gone !

Never play that great at Richmond either.

South by 2 goals. Don't think it will be as easy as most think.

I agree with Southee but South by 32.

West Adelaide could select another debutant for its clash with South Adelaide at City Mazda Stadium on Saturday.
South Mildura product Josh Ryan has been included on the Bloods’ extended interchange bench as one of four inclusions to the 23-man squad.
The 20-year-old has been joined by half-back Errin Wasley-Black, who collected 24 disposals and seven clearances in the Reserves last round.
Chris Burgess returns to a back pocket while former Essendon rookie Tyson Slattery has been listed on the wing.
Former Richmond midfielder Brad Helbig and pacy wingman Murray Waite have been sent back to the Reserves.

The Panthers should win this one. Westies will have a crack but South should be too strong, particularly through the mid-field. I reckon 5 goals

Interesting to see Irra has been dropped for South. In the South games I saw earlier in the year he was one of the best players and most improved, must have had a form drop off?

Yes had an injury and was out for a few weeks, his confidence and form is way down compared to the start of the season. Had a shocker last week.

Can't see that we've got anyone who can go with Eddy.

A good win against a Westies side that were clearly undermanned and hampered by injury.
Some pleasing performances from a few players who have been down in recent weeks, and of course Brett Eddy who booted 7. Brede Secull is a lock in for the Knuckey cup IMO and should collect a few Magarey votes as well, that is if the umpires know who he is!!
A good win but time to forget about that and prepare for a big game vs Sturt at Noarlunga against Sturt next Sunday.

I was lucky enough to attend the Westies pre- match lunch and had a ball; congrats to all involved!
