After a great win over West Adelaide a fortnight ago, the Bulldogs faded against a barnstorming North Adelaide side in the final term to finish the first four rounds with a 1-3 record. Needing a win in the next couple of rounds before the the top four gets further away, the home side will be keen to bounce back against Glenelg. It will be far from easy though, with the Bays welcoming back captain <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"93366\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/ellie-kellock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ellie Kellock<\/a> for the clash in what could well be the Bays&#8217; strongest side for the year.

The annual clash between the sides will award the Ellen Maple Medal to the player who is deemed to be the most courageous and determined on the field, in honour of the former Redlegs and Double Blues player who tragically died in 2018. The Redlegs have brought in ex-Eagle <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"100209\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/grace-smallacombe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grace Smallacombe<\/a> for her debut alongside <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"100207\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/adrienne-davies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adrienne Davies<\/a> for her first game this year.

So for Sturt to just causally roll in an AFLW-experienced defender in Foley is remarkable.

It means <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"85598\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/bethany-sigley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bethany Sigley<\/a> will start ruck against <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"94209\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jemma-ellis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jemma Ellis<\/a> in a battle of the second choice rucks, though Ellis has been putting out consistent performances the last couple of weeks and really stepping up in that role.

Losing that many players from the side would be a nightmare for any coach, and if the Bloods can get up, it would be a memorable win. In saying that, South Adelaide at home and with more stability would be a good chance to pick up the two points here.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
