Round 13: Sturt v Eagles - Saturday 11 July @ Peter Motley Oval

Sturt's season continued to free fall going down to Glenelg, while the Eagles survived a late scare from West. Will Sturt cause a massive upset, or will the Eagles notch up another win?

Eagles by about 5 or 6 goals

Eagles fairly comfortably. Sturt looked good at times but also looked woeful at others and I can't see the eagles letting them back in as the Bays did .

Eagles by 108

EAGLES
Woodville-West Torrens has been significantly boosted by the return of co-captain Luke Thompson for the contest against Sturt at Peter Motley Oval on Saturday.
Thompson, who suffered damage to his ankle ligaments, has been joined by ruckman Fraser Thurlow and hard-running Sam Martyn in the Eagles’ 23-man squad.
Forward Alby Dunstan has been sent back to the Reserves with two more players to be trimmed from the extended interchange before the bounce.
Star midfielder James Boyd (groin) is arguably the only player missing from coach Michael Godden’s strongest line-up.

I'd add Matthew Goldsworthy to the list of players to the strongest line-up.

If the weather stays as forecast might see similar scores to the game at Woodville 6 weeks ago.

Hard to pick against Sturt at Home, the Double Blues by 14pts.

I should point out that is from the SANFL website and the news section under teams . And not my comments

Eagles by 10 goals plus, far too good

weather likely to make it closer than first thought, wwt by 2 goals

That's our 7th consecutive win at Unley, but I would hate to be say 3 goals down at 3QT against a club like West in the finals!

The 1,542 in attendance was the lowest crowd between Sturt and Eagles at Unley, previous was 1,566 in Rd 12 2005

Eagles 8:8 (56)
def
Sturt 5:8 (38)
