No 200th this week for Goldsworthy as he will not play again due to a surprise Glute injury.

That must have been one manly bottom grope!

Eagles will be hard to beat. James Boyd will play his first match against them since returning to Centrals and will need to be at his best to generate some drive to give Centrals any chance.

Woodville by heaps.

Would love to see Andrews add some height and size to the team and see what happens.

Fear this game could get very ugly we are playing the best team in the competition at their own ground .I know we had a great win there last season but cant see if happening this time.Agree we need to get height in but Butcher,Falkenberg & McLean all injured only options are Marsh & Robinson with the latter the only one who could go forward .We have been small all season in height and body strength around the ball .

Eagles > 100 points

Our team is smaller this week.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens has recalled a leadership group member for its encounter with Central on Saturday.

Joint vice-captain Jesse Lonergan has overcome a groin strain to be named in the centre square against Bulldogs.

The former Gold Coast Sun has been joined in the Eagles’ 25-man squad by defender Jake Westbrook and former Magpie Mitchell Mead.

Mead, who played his junior football with the Eagles, spent the past two years at Alberton as a SANFL-contracted player.

The 20-year-old half-forward measures in at 175cm and 75kg.

Two big outs for the Dogs

Eagles by 6 goals.

With fine weather on the weekend 6 goals will be a minimum winning margin .Unfortunately we are just not good enough and this could blow out to 10 goals the boys will have a crack but the Eagles should be far to good .

Groucho could be on the money unfortunately.
It's the worst dogs side for as long as I can remember.

Our side looks like a reserves side, hardly any experience at all,
it's great to have all these new players BUT I hope they stick around!

Everything points to an Eagles percentage booster.

Yep, as Doc says Goodrem and Jenner's absence will hurt. Can't see Centrals getting over (or near) the line, although hoping for a bizarro upset that'll help North's ladder position.

Thompson, Goldsworthy, Goodrem and Jenner on the sidelines. That’s a fair whack of games and experience.

Never count out Central.

It has been the Eagles determination and pressure that has underpinned their wins so far. Only needs for this to drop and previous form goes out the window. There shouldn’t be a drop though. New faces are coming in to the side each week and with senior players and potential recruits to filter back in to the side in coming weeks, everyone is playing for their spot. If Redden can continue his career-best form and give first chance to the Eagles on-ballers, Eagles should be good enough. Eagles by 4 goals.

If we lose by 4 goals I'll be happy I think.

It looks like a 1st trial game line up.
I don't understand why Fort has been dropped, might be a good idea to settle him down in one position.
Dew also in and out of the side, and Presbury dropped out with the flu last week coming back through the reserves.
I didn't think we were travelling that well.
Seems like we've given up on this season already.

Hybrids by 72pts.
