Cage Match - Round 16 - Western Suburbs vs South Melbourne

Last time they met

Round 3, 2008, at Lakeside Stadium

South Melbourne 5 Western Suburbs 0

Suburbs had more or less one chance for the entire match, as South cruised to its first win of the season. Fernando's goal into a previously unknown crevice was the undoubted highlight.

Preview

South should win this. Suburbs had been making a turnaround in form recently, with unlucky draws against Coburg and Green Gully, but last week ended up losing to fellow relegation struggler Fawkner. Whether that was just a hiccup on their way to digging themselves out of that hole remains to be seen. For their part South, South has at least been putting away the relegation threatened teams, even if not always convincingly. The addition of Kelly and MacNicol should help in breaking down Suburbs on their tiny ground, which doesn't suit fancy wing play.
