Funny its a big call that Norwood get a home final in the reserves. Well done SANFL again.

thanks Goddy 11 im leaving your post up for the under 18s ive fixed my mistake up

Woodville-West Torrens forward Lachlan McGregor has made a successful recovery to be named for Sunday’s Second Semi-Final against Sturt at Adelaide Oval.
The livewire goalsneak broke his arm against Glenelg in Round 21 but has proven his fitness to be named in the Eagles’ 23-man squad.
Listed on the five-man extended interchange bench, McGregor will provide his side with some much-needed scoring punch after managing just six goals against Norwood in Round 22.
Versatile youngster Jack Hayes has also been named on the pine, Eagles coach Michael Godden liking the former McDonald’s SA Under-18 utility’s flexibility to play in multiple roles.
Godden has resisted the temptation to play star midfielder James Boyd, who suffered a broken collarbone in the same match against the Tigers.
Boyd is more likely to play in the SANFL Grand Final should the Eagles qualify.

Thanks Goddy I wonder if there is an injury cloud or the eagles are not taking chances and unlike 2015 keeping players back just in case

Sorry guys i was at the game but spent a deal of yesterday in the ER.
I must say Gaffney surprised in the first term as did Poole that goal i still have trouble thinking that was a kick . And press showed promise .
Was anyone else aware in the first quarter the talls were at the full forward line which allowed the smalls to have rein along the half forward line .
Ainger was being held onto in front of the umpire at times one arm pulled behind him no frees.
Hayes had one arm held but he pulled in a screamer of a handed mark .
Sturt came back but we prevailed i think that weeks rest helped us so much .
And macgregor we missed him but he made up for missing that norwood game
