Woodville-West Torrens coach Michael Godden faces a selection dilemma ahead of the clash with North on Sunday.

Star midfielder James Boyd has recovered from a minor ailment to be included in the 23-man squad with veteran Scott Lewis.

The experienced pair have been named on a five-man extended interchange bench which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.

It will be a tough call to squeeze out Boyd’s replacement in Bank SA Rookie James Rowe, who collected 27 disposals on debut in Round 4.

I had to cancel going to the game late yesterday so watched it on digital pass. It probably does not give you the best view but it was a good game and finals type. Our defence was good, we may not have been so good in the middle. I believe we are missing a key forward that dominates. I am not shattered with the loss but disappointed I did not get some of the $5 centerbet had on North.

Let's put it this way last year we as a club would've won this game and taken nothing away .
As a loss we should hopefully have learnt much from the game.
My perspective Boyd was not fit with his knee .
Westbrook was a late withdrawal
Pup and Sinor the talk was will be back in 4 weeks
