Eagles v Port round 5

At Woodville

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens will be without two premiership players for the must-win clash with Port on Saturday.

Veteran pair Scott Lewis (hamstring) and Matthew Goldsworthy (quad) were deemed unfit to face the Magpies.

Four players have been included in the 23-man squad with first-year coach Sam Lonergan yet to make any unforced changes despite losing three matches in succession.

Ruck pair Jarrad Redden and Jordan West have been named on the extended interchange bench while fellow inclusions Joe Heinjus (full back) and Nick Hayes (half-forward) are in the starting 18.

Jack Gaffney will play his 50th Statewide Super League match since making his debut in Round 3 2016.

Port Adelaide will welcome back its captain for the encounter against the Eagles on Saturday.
Former Fremantle defender Cam Sutcliffe has overcome the hamstring strain he suffered against South Adelaide in Round 2.
He has been joined in the Magpies’ team by ruckman Billy Frampton – who has served a two-match ban from the SANFL Match Review Panel – and former Eagle Jack Elsworthy.
The Magpies will still add the emergencies from the Power squad while Tobin Cox (hamstring) couldn’t be considered due to injury.
