Has the club sent out an email about how many gates are open this week ?

Did Mead played league for the Eagles before he went to Port? And is Westbrook any relation to 2006 premiership player David?

Don't think so, but played a handful of league games with them.

Not 100% sure but think Jake might be David's cousin.

Defiantly cousins and no your thinking about Jackson Mitch's younger brother who got drafted last year both are lovely people Mitch just played under 18's for us

Westbrook's are from Kadina one of my parent's taught Jake's mum and Angus Poole's dad

Wonder if Sinor or Jesse will toss the coin tomorrow

I think Joseph will toss the coin tomorrow, he's a lovely man, he always says Hello

Joey's a lovely person and a very caring one same as the other boys, had a couple of lifts with him, they say Joseph but he's really Joseppi i found that out a few years ago through the player's auction when Scott Lewis had his dreadlocks cut off at the club

Haven't seen regarding a post to it but think the gates might open at 10:30 i managed to go right around to the eagles race last week before the reservers ran out

Does anyone know if the cricket club is open?

What's that to do with this?

I normally sit in there for our matches. The view is great and its not as crowded as at the Football club.

I've never been inside the cricket club I'm normally around our race area

The Reserves game should be a very good one, with the two top teams unbeaten after five rounds.

I forgot that thanks eaglesman

Both grades should be good, ill be interested to see who is missing out of the extended squad there'd have to be one or two as the squad they've named is all the players on our list

Looks like Foote is out of the 22

Yep I heard he did a hammy

An outstanding performance from Jack Hayes played a significant role in Woodville-West Torrens defeating Central District by 30 points at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Dividing his time between the forward 50m arc and relieving Jarrad Redden in the ruck, Hayes was a massive influence on the contest as he racked up 28 disposals, 14 marks, three tackles and seven inside 50s while also booting 2.3 from his five scoring shots.

The 24-year-old also snared an equal game-high four contested marks as he often resembled an extra midfielder while playing out of the centre square.

Now sitting at the top of the Statewide Super League ladder, the Eagles set up their fifth win in succession with a five-goal first term blitz while keeping the Bulldogs scoreless.

Central worked its way back into the match with 4.4 to 1.0 in the second term but the hosts fought back in the third term to lead by as much as 39 points when James Rowe booted his sole goal for the game 22 minutes in.

Redden’s dominance in the ruck was evident as he racked up 37 hit outs as his team also took control of the clearances to earn a 46-21 advantage by the final siren.

The former Power bigman also managed 18 disposals and eight marks to help the Eagles win comfortably.

Joint Eagles vice-captain Joseph Sinor was one of the chief beneficiaries as he returned to his Powerade Breakthrough Player-winning form to rack up 13 of those clearances while also collecting a team-high 29 disposals.

Former Power defender Jimmy Toumpas continues to find plenty of the ball this year after notching 26 touches and six clearances while first-year midfielder Lachie McNeil’s consistency is already a feature after he finished with 21 disposals, four clearances and a goal.

Versatile swingman Jake Von Bertouch is relishing his move into attack this season, snaring a courageous mark while booting 3.2, chalking up 16 disposals and finishing with eight grabs to be the most effective key forward on the ground.

Central premiership midfielder James Boyd, playing in his first game back at Woodville since his off-season return to Elizabeth, worked hard to collect a game high 31 disposals and five clearances.

Veterans Justin Hoskin and Luke Habel battled hard for the visitors to register 41 touches between them while youngsters Rhett Montgomerie and Jack Toner were major positives for the Dogs.

Defender Montgomerie in particular is continuing to improve rapidly, finishing with 20 disposals, six tackles and nine marks – four of which were contested to match Jack Hayes’ tally.

But ultimately, just one quarter of football cost Central dearly as it continues to search for its first victory in season 2020.

89 inside 50's between the teams today, 70 or 71 of them were at the Southern end.

Not a lot of scoring at the Northern end in either game today and both teams scored the same in League and Reserves

League
Eagles 8.13 going south and 3.0 going north
Central 6.7 going south and 1.0 going north

Reserves
7.7 going south and 3.0 going north
9.6 going south and 1.0 going north
