This Saturday’s match at Woodville Oval against Sturt is going to be a massive day for the WWTFC. After a great turn out from our supporters at Prospect last Sunday, we want to see as many of you at Woodville Oval on Saturday for what will undoubtedly be the match of the Round.

The lunch, compared by Eagle favourite, ex Adelaide Crow and SAFM sports reporter Rhett Biglands, will see club fitness guru Mark Harris give all in attendance some insight into the match and its key match ups as well as player interviews.

It’s Ladies Round for the SANFL competition and our Ladies Day marquee will be located on the mound at the Northern end of the ground and we’d like to again acknowledge the role female’s play within our Club.

After the wonderful success of our inaugural Ladies Day marquee in Round 3 (we are already ahead of the rest in acknowledging our female supporters!), it will be on again this weekend. So come along, bring a friend and we’ll again be offering a free glass of champagne or wine on arrival, subsequent glasses $2, and a whole host of nibbles, tea and coffee provided free of charge!

Also the u16s start the day at 8.45 am and the u18s play on Sunday after the Adelaide v Dogs game at AAMI at 3.30 pm

That puzzles me - why after the match? Nothing like playing in an empty stadium; should be so that the crowd builds up during the match, not emptying out.

Will be interesting to see how many do stay on especially as is Mothers Day for the U18 on Sunday.

Woodville Saturday will have footy from 8:45am with events through til late that night with our Trivia Night after presentations.

New Website okay, what was the criteria for the 5 players selected for banner photo status? Leadership group?
Go the Eags

I dont know the answer Eddie - I could get myself into trouble and say age - I think you are on the right track though

I know what you mean, it will be a bit wierd hearing the siren and seeing lights on after leaving the Adelaide game. I think that since Adelaide is playing at 12.40 the league decided to have this game after. If Adelaide was playing the late game, the 18s would have been before.

No probs CD, thought latest life member and 2006 Acting Premiership Captain, Cicca, could have got a guernsey

It is all to do with costs of running the day, if the game is held before the crows, it would cost the sanfl and crows more to run as they have to pay for all the staff running the canteens, bars, red coats. if held after the crows all that would be open is the members area which the sanfl pay. that is what i got told from an u/18's coach.

Aha, costs, that makes sense. Thanks kookas.

Duane Schultz latest article is now on the club website - along with news as to what 2 of our Power lads in Nick Salter and Jarrad Redden got up to today.

Be sure to check out Duane Schultz's report too - some good gossip along with his thoughts re his first league game.

Then the coach is wrong as the u16s final is played before the Power game on Sunday.
