Eagles comimg off a loss and Adelaide had a win over Port.

First time around the Eagles won by 14 goals.

Lonergan may miss and the depth at Woodville will take care of that.


Eagles by 10 goals.

I’m hoping the Eagles bounce back

No dramas, but just need one more win to secure a 2nd or 3rd place on the premiership table.

We need the Eagles to win so more of their supporters post on here…

There have been some stunning reversals of fortune in this season so nothing is a given. The only exception seems to be Glenelg but that might come in the grand final

Bet all your fingers & toes are crossed, squinting eyes, biting your bottom lip…

Is it a bit strange that this game clashes with Crows in Melb? Would constrain their reserves etc. Not that I really care.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens will be forced into at least one change after losing midfielder Jesse Lonergan to a calf injury for the match against Adelaide at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Utilities Jack Firns and Mitch Hardie, together with defender Rory Lehmann, have been added to the Eagles’ 24-man squad.

All three have been listed on the six-man extended interchange, which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.

Yorke Peninsula product Angus Poole will play his 150th League game while father-son Ethan Haylock will play his 50th League match.

ADELAIDE

Adelaide coach Michael Godden will be forced to deal with a myriad of changes ahead of the match with the Eagles at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

As many as nine players are currently out of the side which defeated Port Adelaide in last Saturday’s SANFL Showdown with the AFL emergencies yet to be finalised.

Impressive debutant Cameron Hutchens and Luke Pedlar have been sidelined by injury while Lachlan Gollant and Kieran Strachan are among several players to attract the attention of AFL coach Matthew Nicks.

Captain Matt Wright and former Eagle Chris Hall add valuable experience to the side while Max Hodges and Jack Lewis are in line to be the Crows’ latest AAMI Rookies.

The time of the AFL game was only announced on Wednesday, whilst the Eagles have had their carnival day lined up on the Sunday for a while.

I am not sure that an AFL team would have bothered about that if they had wanted a time change to suit them. Their 4000 fans have probably been told to stay away.

I hope we get told if the gates are closed due to the family carnival and crowd numbers

Most of those that are there early for the carnival are leaving before the league game starts anyway.

No offence meant but carnival is a great word to describe a match between these two clubs.

Yep, that’ll be us.

This sort of day makes a mockery of "crowd attendance" figures

Similar has been happening for a few years with this fixture.

Easy win. Top 3 spot secured. Job done.
