NORTH

North Adelaide teenager Harrison Magor will make his Statewide Super League debut against the Eagles at Prospect Oval.

Winner of the Torrens Uni Cup MVP and McCallum-Tomkins Medal in the Under-18 competition last year, Magor has been named to start in the centre square.

The Port Pirie product has been joined in the Roosters’ 24-man squad by key defender Dyson Hilder, who looms as a potential replacement for Karl Finlay, with the teenage backman sidelined by a thigh injury.

Lee Minervini, Dakota Nixon and Mackenzie Slee have also been named on the six-man extended interchange bench.

Midfielder Cam Hewett (foot) and forward Robbie Young (hamstring) have been ruled out with injuries suffered against Glenelg in Round 3.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens is poised to take an unchanged line-up into its blockbuster against North at Prospect Oval.

Coming off a polished 65-point win against Norwood, the Eagles have added three players to their seven-man extended interchange bench.

Tall ruck Jordan West, utility Jackson Lee and forward Nick Moore have been included in the 25-man squad but may not squeeze their way into the final 22.

Durable forward Nick Hayes will play his 100th Statewide Super League game after making his debut in Round 1 of 2015.

We're a bit undermanned at the minute, particularly in the big man department, so I expect this is a game where we could struggle, especially with the Eagles coming off a resounding win last week and an unchanged side.

I agree North have been impressive thus far but no one has been more impressive than the Eagles in the last 2 weeks.

Eagles by 2 goals.

North in a close one.

Anyone else watching the digital pass?
The sound quality is shocking on mine.
Looks like thwy've got 1000 at Prospect easily, looks more.

North with the breeze in the first quarter. Up 3.2 20 to 0.1 early.

Eagles with a goal on the siren.
Quarter time
North 3.2 20
Eagles 1.1 7

Except for sound issues its been good commentary from Big Phil, he and Nankivell I could have any week.

North with one against the breeze tp Clisby

North 4.2 26
Eagles 1.3 9

Three quick goals to the Eagles, scores level.

5.4 34 each at half time

Hender with 3

Chooks would want be be 4 or 5 up at 3/4 time one thinks

North frittering away chances and only 2 points up, Eagles in the box seat coming home with the breeze.

North up by a loint at 3/4 time.
Good quarter for the Eagles who are set up nicely to run over the home team in the last quarter.

Eagles all over the chookies now 9.9 to 6.10

Turned over to the South v Sturt game and the sound is so much better than what was at Prospect today, its perfect.

Good hard fought win for the Eagles, they continue to impress under Sheedy.
Bad kicking from North.

At least you got video for the full game! Most of the 1st half was lost on the Dogs v Legs stream

A good win Eagles

The pass leaves a lot to be desired

Great win in a fairly dour match.

Though Foote was clearly our best with Redden fantastic as the stoppages. Poole and Goldy unusually quiet today.

I didn't catch why Lonergan was a late withdrawal from the team. If it was due to an injury hoping its not too serious.

Agree Mr Fuller. Foote was fantastic, as was Rowe and Redden. Eagles have had a great start to the season. Thought North were very good with the pressure in the 1st quarter in particular, forcing Eagles to handball under pressure, but Eagles eventually ground out the win. That goal just before quarter time for the Eagles was very important.

Watched on the Digital Pass. No complaints from me. Works 99 percent of the time and great to have all the matches available to watch live every week. Such a great addition to SANFL coverage and has made up for the loss of the traditional radio. Nankivell is the best commentator IMO and would comfortably sit amongst the best play by play commentators in the country. Big Phil excellent also.

The competition is so much better without the AFL Reserves teams. I can watch my team knowing they’re playing on an even playing field and not subject to the fortunes of a couple of AFL teams.
