Sunday 12 June
Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Reserves: 11:25am
League: 2:10pm

Both sides are coming off big wins. Who will come away with the win this week?

Was always going to be a huge challenge against a very good team with the likelihood of Jansen,Edmead not playing & Holman suspended it is going to be even tougher.

Yes even this early I say the Eagles. Crowd about 1800

Eagles at Home should be too good, say by about 5 goals

EAGLES
Woodville-West Torrens will be boosted by the return of star midfielder Jared Petrenko for the match against Central at Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval on Sunday.
A late withdrawal last Saturday after injuring his back in the warm-up, Petrenko has been named on a four-man extended interchange bench to face the Bulldogs.
The former Crow has been joined in the 22-man squad by potential debutant Ethan Haylock, the son of Eagles great Gary Haylock, who played 204 matches for Woodville and the Eagles between 1984 and 1994.
Originally from PHOS Camden, Ethan Haylock – who measures in at 177cm and 75kg – has progressed through the junior grades at Oval Avenue.
Dual premiership player Luke Jarrad will miss his first IGA League match since Round 16, 2012 after suffering a slight hamstring strain against Norwood last Saturday.
The Eagles will be looking to put in a strong performance as they host several past premiership players for their Premiers Day, which will chiefly honour the 2006 League premiership team.

5 reasons to get to Woodville tomorrow

And game info

Not really sure I understand the team selections the last 2 weeks, but then not detracting from Haylock's 1st game. Good luck to him.

Will be a huge win for us if we can get over the line the Eagles are a very good side and they dont lose at home very often.Hopefully we can put up a good show against the flag favourites.

Not sure about the flag favourite bit but expecting a good game.

Is this just another centrals mind games make the Eagles think they are flag favourites 
Not flag favourites 
No idea where you pulled that from

It has nothing to do with mind games its just an opinion

Also as if the Eagles would worry about what i think

Easily the best team we have played this year.I have just had my point proven.

Centrals the better team in the first quarter they put on a lot of pressure .
After 1/4 time Centrals kind of relaxed a great deal .
Eagles improved but still could improve more 
Wundke kicked 6 or 7 goals he did go off in the last had I think 16 touches and ran to centre half back he even tried to run with the ball that's how far Centrals went off the boil

That effort was an absolute disgrace as usual Boyd had a point to prove and again he KILLED us even though Lairdy doesnt rate him it may pay next time we play them to actually stand him instead of letting him do what he likes.

That or Boyds groin has improved greatly 
Haylocks son played well 
Gaffney played well 
Though the Eagles missed Luke Jarrad 
Ainger had a down game 
Obrian played a good game 
The eldest Hayes played well 
I guess the Eagles needed to prove they could play well

Crowd 2400

A great win, reasonable crowd with a fair bit of Red & Blue.

Premiers for me .

In the last quarter in particular witches hats wouldve played better at least they wouldve made a contest out of it

Yep exactly I went expecting a tough hard game against the Bulldogs 
First quarter was tough 
After that dogs went home to Elizabeth basically

Such a disappointing effort, especially after the relatively good first quarter. The second quarter was very ordinary by Centrals. Third quarter, not too bad. Not great, but we were keeping pace.

Then the last quarter. One of the most putrid efforts I've ever seen any Centrals side dish up. The Eagles turned it up a notch and Centrals just evaporated before our eyes.

Having said that, it's not exactly the end of the world. Centrals had been playing some pretty decent footy of late, and yesterday was a bit of a surprise. I recall Sturt doing similar to Centrals one long weekend in June 2009, and Centrals beat them in a Grand Final a few months later. Hopefully Centrals turn it around next week at Norwood.

Is the coaching at Central current with the game ?

Absolutely it is...

Roy has adapted the Dogs game plan this year to suit the playing squad...

Nothing wrong with the coaching and some fresh faces have come in this season to add a different dimension...

Why do you ask?
