Yep 1435. We had to move the games from 1420 to 1410 but now play them later.

Port will have a pretty full list to call upon is their league side plays tonight.

Eagles will be without Sharman, and possibly Williams and Goldsworthy.

First time around Port had a big second quarter and put the game out of the Eagles reach.

Gut feeling on this one. Port by a goal.

14:35 starts are ridiculous in mid June. Sunset is at 5:11 p.m.
This game will probably finish about 20 minutes before sunset.
It will be quite dark and cold by then.

yep agreed, 2.35pm start n june is just **** stupid

I said similar on the Eagles nest forum it’s the channel 7 game not sure how dark it will get on the TV but why complain nothing will change

The Eagles announced a few months back that they were putting in some upgraded lighting. I wonder if this has happened yet.

They haven’t announced anything yet
I did notice this game and the crows Sanfl both start at the same time

Power easily, if anything from last week is to go by.
The star-studded Eagles struggled to put away a talentless team of nobodys.

Compared to relative sunsets, this game should finish only about 15 minutes earlier than CD vs Norwood about a month ago. Looking at 7Plus, the broadcast quality cameras made the visibility look notably better than it actually was without the lights in that last quarter.

Jed McEntee selected for Port.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens will make at least two changes for its match against Port at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Veteran playmaker Matt Goldsworthy is out with a shoulder injury while Cooper Sharman is headed to St Kilda after being selected in the AFL Mid Season Draft.

Former Power wingman Jimmy Toumpas makes a timely return from concussion while four players have been added to the 25-man squad.

Defender Pierce Seymour, recruit Mitch Hardie and loyal clubmen Jake Comitogianni and Jack Firns are all among the seven-man extended interchange bench.

PORT

Port Adelaide will welcome Sturt draftee Jed McEntee for its game against the Eagles at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

The 20-year-old will don the prison bars for the first time since being selected in the AFL Mid Season Draft last week.

He will be joined in the Magpies’ squad by veteran Jace Bode at half-back and Trent Burgoyne, who has recovered from a hamstring strain.

Burgoyne’s younger brother Jase will return to Woodville-West Torrens after his month-long stint at Alberton, under the NGA Academy program.

Captain Cam Sutcliffe has been sidelined by a shoulder injury.

I notice that the draft manipulation Goldsack is named for the AFL reserves......without playing one PA AFL senior game?

Not sure what you mean.

that's because he isn't good enough.

I’ll start ducking from port fans on this one lol.
Port want to win the sanfl flag to give their fans something to cheer about . So they stack up their AFL seconds side .

"Not sure what you mean". See above as a comment on my original comment

A PA official (asst coach?) stated that Goldsack was picked up at the national AFL draft with no intention of playing him at senior level, but purely to provide "leadership" to the AFL reserves side, so he was presumably good enough to play at SANFL level. No other SANFL club has access to players in this way.......so to my mind this is manipulation of the intent of the AFL draft.

Every SANFL club had the ability to recruit him and any other player coming off an AFL list, such as Knights to the Eagles and Gibbs to South.

Not in the same manner Port did.
He’s not here just to play in the sanfl

"Every SANFL club had the ability to recruit him and any other player coming off an AFL list"

Not sure that he came off a list. I think PA had first dibs via the AFL end of season draft.

SANFL clubs don't have the ability to offer the high paid extra. For example when Cam Sutcliffe was AFL delisted the power picked him up as their delisted AFL player to play in the SANFL plus he got a development coach job, may be $100, 000 plus, what SANFL club can match this.

Williams playing with some of the comments re last weeks game thought he had his jaw broken couldnt have been that bad .Dont condone what Hoskin did though.
