Matthew Weistra will need to return to his best form if the Sharks are to get anything from International this weekend in the game of the week.
This game is so important to both clubs and vitally important to the configuration of the top four. Last week Inter started slow against Apollo falling two goals behind in the first ten minutes then recovering to match it with the champions. The Sharks cruised past Naracoorte with a squad that is not a patch on their finest.
The lack of depth is major concern for coach John Bruttomesso who finds himself without his two hardest working midfielders, Matt Gordon and Tobbei Kennett this weekend as well as a long list of first team regulars who are no longer available. The return of the silky Lance da Rocha will add some quality up front however it is the midfield that will be the Sharks achilles heal on Sunday, they will once again need to play last years league medalist Matthew Weistra in the middle of the park, a role that is unfamiliar to him. If the sharks want to win this game they must take a risk and play Weistra up front with da Rocha running off him.
The Sharks are well and truly the underdogs in this one and unless the roll the dice, the result will be another win for Inter.
In other fixtures Gambier Centrals should beat Blue Lake, the big improvers in recent weeks . Mark Judd and Alex Sims have been a huge find for Centrals this year and if coach Jeff O'laughlin can get the best out of the super talented Alex Bissel and Dan Hough they could become this seasons surprise package.
Apollo will beat Naracoorte at home and Millicent must return to the winners circle when they face Portland at home.
