Woodville-West Torrens will be hoping to welcome back joint vice-captain Jesse Lonergan for its contest against Sturt at Adelaide Oval.

The former Gold Coast Sun was unavailable in Round 1 due to a calf injury but has been named on a seven-man extended interchange bench which must be trimmed by three before the bounce.

The strongly-built midfielder has been joined in the 25-man squad by utility Jackson Lee, ruckman Jordan West and potential AAMI Rookie Tristian Carcuro, the 27-year-old recruited from Sacred Heart Old Collegians.

Midfielder Louis Sharrad has been omitted to the Reserves.

Just put the teams up

I would've but thought I'd leave it to someone else to do so

Wow great win way to go Eagles
I take back what’ I said about Tompous
Well played
And I liked our attack on the ball
Why didn’t we take Sheedy last year

Met Jade last Sunday and think that he'll do a good job and bringing in Tristan was probably the best move

The second half was true Eagles football with quick movement and good pressure tackling. I'm very impressed with all the young lads brought in. I'm always for playing the kids. A few of our boy are carrying a bit of pud though.

Lonergan might be more muscle and we missed him last week
Kids did play well
As did the 27 year old debutant

Got to say attack is better than all out defence

Woodville-West Torrens coach Jade Sheedy poured his heart and soul into the Sturt Football Club for more than a decade.

But the Double Blues’ Magarey Medallist and premiership midfielder was yesterday helping to inflict pain on his former club after guiding his Eagles to a commanding 51-point win in the first game of a double-header at Adelaide Oval.

Sheedy, a former Sturt captain who played 255 games and won four best-and-fairests at Unley, must have drawn great satisfaction as the boys from Oval Avenue piled on nine goals in succession after half-time.

Having endured a heart-breaking loss to South in Round 1, the Eagles were leaving nothing to chance seven days later as they flicked the switch to produce a much cleaner brand of football, which also translated into a significant statistical advantage.

Trailing by four points at the main change after a scrappy opening half, the Eagles broke clear with a third-quarter burst sparked by James Rowe’s set shot snap from the boundary line, restoring the lead seven minutes in.

Nick Hayes was immediately the beneficiary of a free kick after he was felled before the ball was bounced in the centre square, converting on the goal line for a nine-point buffer.

AAMI Rookie Tristan Carcuro, a 27-year-old forward from Sacred Heart, then kicked his first Statewide Super League goal from a mark on the lead, putting the Eagles up by 15 points 10 minutes into the premiership stanza.

It was enough to break the spirit of Sturt, which kicked just one goal in the second half, a quick snap 20 minutes into the final term from one of its better players in midfielder Casey Voss.

There was so much to like about the Eagles victory, particularly the evenness of contributions as seven players had at least 20 disposals, including damaging duo Rowe and veteran Matthew Goldsworthy.

Rowe was at his creative best setting up the play if he wasn’t kicking majors himself while Goldsworthy – playing his 196th League match – relished his opportunity to be released from his regular defensive role higher up the ground.

The 29-year-old was neat with the majority of his 23 disposals while also kicking two majors, one a trademark long bomb from outside the 50m arc in the second term.

Jake Comitogianni continued his development with 22 touches and a goal while Launceston recruit Rhyan Mansell impressed for the Eagles with his poise at half-back for 18 possessions and five tackles.

Potency wasn’t a problem as Nick Hayes and swingman Jake Von Bertouch, enjoying his chance to play in attack, both joined Rowe in booting a trio of goals.

Even former co-captain Pat Guiffreda regularly wound the clock back with his trademark desperation and wily use of his body, giving inexperienced teammates Jacob Wehr and Pierce Seymour the confidence to rebound from the back half.

Despite welcoming back a pair of premiership heroes in Steven Slimming and Jake Sutcliffe – who both had a positive impact on the contest before half-time – Sturt was its own worst enemy with wasteful ball use.

It got tougher after the main change as the Eagles took a stranglehold on the match, the Double Blues having 79 fewer handballs 16 fewer inside 50 entries.

Ken Farmer Medallist Mark Evans led the way for Sturt on the disposal column with 23 as he continued to embrace his role further up the field, using the ball nicely on most occasions by foot.

Voss, the son of Brisbane premiership star and Brownlow Medallist Michael Voss, is developing his midfield craft in positive fashion, tallying 22 disposals and six clearances to go with his goal while defender Sam Wundke was another major positive for Sturt.

A late recruit after initially planning to play with Glenunga, Wundke took five marks and had 20 disposals while ruckman Daniel Fahey-Sparks moved freely around the ground to chalk up 19 disposals, eight marks and a goal.

I reckon we have recruited good one in Rhyan Mansell. he is quick, shows desparation and his delivery to a team mate is spot ont. In fact a couple of his kicks to position created goals moments later

Well said
I think we’ve gotten pace this year with our younger players .
IIRC Mansell was over looked by AFL recruiters in Tasmania

I honestly like the way Sheedy is playing our side
It’s been to many years since we’ve seen attacking footy
And Sheedy isn’t playing slow midfielders imho

Agree "Eagles35". The SANFL site does'nt mention "long term".
