R5: West v Eagles - Monday 25 April @ Adelaide Oval

[Dutchy]

WEST
West Adelaide midfielder Travis Tuck is primed to tackle the Eagles in Monday’s ANZAC Day clash at Adelaide Oval.
A late withdrawal in Round 4 due to hamstring tightness, the big-bodied midfielder has been named to start in the centre square from 1.10pm.
Tuck has been joined in the Bloods’ 24-man squad by possible debutant Murray Waite (18, 183cm and 74kg) who was recruited from TAC Cup club Murray Bushrangers.
Waite and fellow wingman Tom Schott have been added to provide leg speed on the wide expanses of Adelaide Oval while Nick Favretto and Jack Agostino have also been listed on the extended interchange bench.
Given the match is on Monday, the Bloods have until Sunday to trim to 23 before making the final cut to 21 players before the bounce.
Star wingman Taite Silverlock and emerging defender Brett Turner have paid the price for their team’s indifferent form after being sent back to the Reserves.

EAGLES
Woodville-West Torrens coach Michael Godden is poised to include three of his stars for Monday’s ANZAC Day blockbuster against West at the Adelaide Oval.
Triple Ken Farmer Medallist Michael Wundke (groin) and clever goalsneak Lachlan McGregor (hamstring) have overcome soft-tissue concerns to return to the Eagles’ 24-man squad.
Veteran midfielder Scott Lewis, restricted by a groin ailment during pre-season, continued his impressive return to match fitness by racking up 41 disposals in the Reserves last round.
Lewis has also been joined in the squad by fellow on-ballers Matt Appleton and Joe Sinor, who will also be considered for selection.
Utility Tom Whittlesea and classy goalsneak Nick Yarran have been relegated to the seconds.

Match of the round according to the Advertiser?
Looks like the worst game out of the 4 this round to me.

It couldn't be lower than second best. At least it features two dinkum teams. I assume it will be telecast?

Do they still bring out the advertiser?

It's a match-up where no-one can lose!

[DOC]

Eagles by 15 goals

[johntheclaret]

West still badly under manned. Eagles have 2 or 3 key players back.
WWT by 55-60 points

[another grub]

West $3.40
Eagles $1.30

Line 22.5

Thoughts?

[goddy11]

I hope we get a decent crowd out there Monday. Its a fitting and traditional way for the SA community to show respect for the day and the SANFL.

[another grub]

Crowd estimates?

[Magellan]

Good to see this game played at the traditional ANZAC Day time of 1:10pm.

Seriously though, I hope there's a deserving crowd in attendance, and that Westies can make a game of it.

A great win by the Eagles wasn't a great game
West in front at 1/4 time thanks to the Eagles giving them the ball.
Eagles got going but still lots to improve
Have West overtaken the Eagles as the second worst start to the year after winning the flag .

Now Adelaide oval really what a disgrace we went a gate bought drinks from a machine .
Sit down off to the toilet not open .Got told were to go coming back my lad is walking looking for me we were kicked out no sitting along the flank
What a disgrace why open a gate you can't sit at

Doesn't appear that it got either, difficult to see much life on the 'far' side of the ground at all. Replay of the game is currently embedded on the home page of the SANFL site.

I thought I heard the commentators (via Mixlr) say that it is now the worst start to a premiership defence in terms of points conceded, should be on the replay somewhere.

Might it have got a more fitting atmosphere at Richmond?

I don't think so it was embarrassing for all West Adelaide supporters today. We have gone backwards this season and I think we will only go further backwards not sure we can win game this season!

[goddy11]

I thought James Boyd was a shoe in for the medal. Petrenko was good but James just had the ball on a string.
