Has he served his four games yet ?

No. 2 games of suspension to go

My understanding also, should be good to go.
He missed the trial against Adelaide which was Round 1 of AFL.

Only has to miss four Crows matches. Should be available Vs Crows.

Fingers crossed Columbo and Wimpy

Was talking to Tyson on Saturday at gale force Glenelg and he said he will back this week. From the Horses mouth so to speak. I'd rush him straight in to the A's

He will make a big difference

EAGLES

The Eagles will welcome back Tyson Stengle for their match against Adelaide at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Yet to play a League game for his original SANFL club, the 22-year-old goalsneak is the ideal replacement for Troy Menzel, who will miss with concussion.

The former Richmond Tiger has been joined in the Eagles’ 25-man squad by veteran pair Patrick Giuffreda and Matt Goldsworthy while Sam Rowland and Nick Moore also return.

Key defender Rory Lehmann was squeezed out of the line-up.

SANFL snapshot

Woodville-West Torrens rebounded from its Round 2 loss with a comprehensive 83-point win against Adelaide at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Boosted by the presence of former Crow Tyson Stengle, the Eagles were superb from the first bounce as they took control of the contest to lead by 38 points at half-time.

Stengle was constructive with his 21 disposals while also kicking four goals but Jack Hayes was outstanding in the ruck and around the ground to collect 33 disposals, 10 marks, six tackles and five clearances.

Another ex-Crow in Riley Knight had 34 disposals and two majors while Jimmy Toumpas and James Tsitas had 27 touches each.

Adelaide veterans Matthew Wright and Daniel Jackson tallied 21 disposals each, with the skipper Wright also scoring two goals while Tariek Newchurch showed plenty of promise with three majors and 16 possessions.

I heard an Eagles runner as he ran out on the ground early in 3rd Q shout back to the bench "Shoulder!" and I didn't know to whom he was referring - perhaps it was McFarlane.
Difficult decision on what to do with Redden - he played well in the Seconds re tapwork. Hayes offers huge value with his marking and disposals around the ground (virtually another midfielder) but jumping against guys 7 cm taller at centrebounces is tough. Also there's going to come a time when he is injured and von Bertouch will struggle to carry the load.
Redden is a liability when sitting on the bench, not being able to play another position nor offer run. And Hayes (33 disposals yest) is better on the ball than up forward where Clay Cameron has played Hayes's forward role. IMHO, leave it as it is, allow Redden to get fitter with the expectation that he will play in 2-3 weeks. But North Adelaide's Harvey next week will test us.

McFarlane injured his leg. He had his calf bandaged and did not go back onto the playing arena. Also, [sadly] Chris Hall did not play much of the second half, although I don't know the nature of his injury.

I reckon McFarlane has had a calf problem for the last couple of weeks.

Even though we lost the hit outs 20-60 our clearance work was excellent. The mobilty of Hayes and von Bertouch around the ground added to our game. I think Reddo needs up to six games in the reserves to gain match fitness. With Hayes having more ruck time, Clay Cameron has fitted nicely in to CHF, runs well and is very mobile.
The main midfield group of Knight, Sinor, Tsitsas and Toumpas would be one of the best, well supported by numerous others. Good to see Zane Williams showing what he is capable of in only his third league game.
