North Adelaide enters the match off indifferent form with a couple of huge wins – including beating two of the other top four sides – before going down to ladder leaders Woodville-West Torrens last round. The Roosters will be keen to avenge that loss, while Norwood finally snatched up a vital two points by getting past Glenelg, but must start ticking over the wins if the Redlegs are to play a part in the finals series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Adelaide has made at least three changes, omitting Laura Niejalke<\/a>, Brooke Wilson<\/a> and Libby Taylor<\/a> while naming an extended squad. Coming into the side as part of that are the likes of Lauren Gauci<\/a>, Ash George<\/a> and Sky Jensen<\/a>, with Jasmine Dallimore<\/a> and Tayla Gordon<\/a> rounding out the potential five inclusions. By comparison, the Redlegs were forced to make a change with skipper Steph Simmonds<\/a> injuring her hamstring in the win over Glenelg. She has been replaced by returning defender, Sophie Arkun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AFLW DRAFT WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Roosters have been bloody a number of youth players this season with Polly Turner<\/a> and Lucy Reddaway<\/a> exciting up forward. Since coming into the team Caitlin Hardin<\/a> has impressed through the middle, while Bailey Murray<\/a> provides a rebounding role off half-back. For the Roosters, Kate Alexander<\/a> has the opportunity to really take control in this encounter through the ruck, while Lottie Almond<\/a> was strong on debut, and the smooth-moving pair of Charli Hazelhurst<\/a> and Charlee Brooksby<\/a> provide that important run and carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PREDICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Adelaide has been in the better form this season so it is too difficult to tip against them, but perhaps the win over Glenelg and then the week-long break can provide the Redlegs with the spark needed to go on with the job.<\/p>\n

It is a top-against bottom clash to close out the weekend with the unbeaten Woodville-West Torrens taking on the winless Glenelg. It is generally agreed upon that seven wins is enough to secure a finals spot which is what the Eagles will get with a victory here. The Bays are already three games behind the top four, and would need a huge second half of the season to reach the post-season series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INT:<\/strong> Amie Blanden, Mackenzie Dowrick, Maia Freemantle, Christina Leuzzi, Rosette Zerella<\/p>\n\n\n\nCHANGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glenelg will unveil Under 16s talent Charlotte O’Sullivan<\/a> as she makes her debut coming into the side along with the versatile Madisyn Freeman<\/a>. The duo replace Alex Pearce<\/a> and Lakeisha Sheffield<\/a> in the team. Unfortunately the Eagles will be without co-captain Poppy Waterford<\/a> who heartbreakingly tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) last round. Kayleigh Cronin<\/a> has replaced her in the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AFLW DRAFT WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with O’Sullivan, the Bays have a good mix of draftable talent, headlined by National Academy member Eloise Mackereth<\/a> up forward. She has Matilda Wilmore<\/a> there at her feet, while Georgie Fielder<\/a> and Tessa Davis<\/a> have been influential through the midfield and in defence respectively. Eagles top-ager Imogen Trengove<\/a> has been named up forward and can play on all three lines, while midfielders Julia Faulkner<\/a> and Lucy Moore<\/a> have shown experience beyond their years. Under 16s All-Australian captain Maia Freemantle<\/a> is a talented prospect to watch over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PREDICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fairly straight forward prediction here given the relative ladder positions and seasons of the respective sides. Woodville-West Torrens just needs to keep its form rolling, while Glenelg needs to find a way to score in order to put pressure on the opposition. A break might have done the Bays good to attack it hard from the outset with nothing to lose.<\/p>\n
