Eagles to meet Dimboola
The Warrack Eagles travel to Dimboola Recreation Reserve tomorrow to take on Dimboola in what is shaping up to be a tough match in round five of the Wimmera Football Netball League.
The Eagles have improved in recent weeks and further improvement would be a great confidence boost for the club.
Stopping Jackson Calder will go a long way toward winning the game. Calder has scored 19 goals in three games and has clean hands. The Eagles will welcome back Kyle Cheney who may go to him, or Will Batson or Machok Garang may line up on him.
Matt Walder said the game against Minyip Murtoa will help them in this game, citing they are a similar type of team.
"Dimboola is similar to the Burras in that they have some big, tall players and a bigger-bodied midfield," Walder said.
"We have to find a way to combat that and get around it. We showed some good signs last week and just want to build on that and it will be a good test."
Dimboola coach Jack Landt said it's a danger game.
"In the past, we have struggled against these sort of sides and we need to come in with the right mindset and bring the effort we did against Stawell," Landt said.
"It's easy to get complacent and not play four quarters, but on Saturday, we need to play those four quarters."
