Woodville-West Torrens will be without its captain for the encounter with Glenelg at ACH Group Stadium.

Key defender Luke Thompson was unable to shrug off a corked thigh he had been carrying for a fortnight after being restricted in the Eagles’ Round 4 win against North.

Tom Schmusch and Jake Westbrook are among the potential replacements for Thompson after both were added to the seven-man extended interchange bench.

Strongly-built midfielder Jack Firns and delisted Power rookie Kai Pudney have also been included for potentially their first League games of the season.

Premiership utility Matt Goldsworthy will play his 200th Statewide Super League game after making his debut in Round 18 of 2008.

Woodville-West Torrens survived a spirited comeback from Glenelg to earn a valuable 20-point victory at ACH Group Stadium.

Leading by as much as 45 points midway through the third quarter, the Eagles were forced to steady during the final term after the Tigers piled on six of the last eight majors in the match.

Glenelg’s AAMI Rookie Angus Weir produced a memorable snap during the third quarter to start the momentum swinging in his team’s favour.

Jack Oatey Medalist Matthew Snook – who was once again outstanding for his side with 31 disposals, eight tackles and 12 clearances – nailed his set shot to have the hosts within 33 at the final change.

Then Liam McBean booted the first two goals of the final stanza to take his tally to five before fellow forward Luke Reynolds finished off his excellent work rate further up the ground with a third in succession.

But just as they had all afternoon, the Eagles continued to answer as mature-age forward Tristan Carcuro hit James Rowe up on the lead.

Rowe, now leading the race for the Ken Farmer Medal, then calmly slotted his set shot from 30m.

Carcuro was soon involved again after kicking his tricky set shot from the boundary just two minutes later to make Glenelg’s fightback too difficult to execute, with the visitors leading by 28 points midway through the final term.

With the majority of the key stats categories even, the Eagles’ efficiency inside 50m was illustrated by them having 15 fewer entries.

It didn’t matter that captain Luke Thompson was sidelined with a corked thigh or that future SANFL 200 Club member Matt Goldsworthy (glute) was a late withdrawal for his milestone match, the contributors for coach Jade Sheedy were plentiful.

Past Eagles Club Champions Jordan Foote and Joseph Sinor gave their team plenty of drive with 21 and 23 disposals each while Chris Hall and Jake Comitogianni also hit the scoreboard.

Launceston recruit Rhyan Mansell continued his impressive start to the season with 16 disposals and a goal-saving chase and tackle which prevented a certain major to Glenelg’s Marlon Motlop late in the third term.

Reduced to 21 men for the majority of the match after defender Matt Merrett found himself on crutches at half-time, Glenelg had plenty of heart displayed by veterans Snook and Andrew Bradley.

Bradley, one of few Tigers to play four quarters of footy, finished with 35 disposals and 10 marks across half-back and the wings while Magarey Medallist Luke Partington had 25 touches and three clearances.

The Tigers now have a 2-3 win-loss record just inside the top four while the Eagles sit at the top of the table with an impressive 4-1 mark while playing full of confidence

Copied this from the match report from yesterday in the paper today..

They won despite having 15 fewer inside 50s and are poised to be strengthened further by the recruitment of star VFL medium forward Sam Lowson.

.....Interesting.

We'll just have to wait and see. Closing date for clearances is 31 July. If think clearances with in the SANFL can be publicly accessed.

My source June 30 and self isolation would be end of the season
Unless I was sold a pup
