The Woodsmen travel north to take on their friendly rivals the Zillmere Eagles tonight in what looks like it could be a wet weather slog!

Both teams field several players on the wrong side of 30, but there is also plenty of talent getting around and no shortage of footy nous. The Eagles have managed to win several of the most recent games between these two teams in the last few years by less than 5 points on each occasion, though the Woodies did manage to win both encounters in 2019, once by 47 points at home and then narrowly by less than a kick at Zillmere.

The Woodies suffered a shock loss against Bribie Island last Friday and will be licking their wounds and hoping to put up a better performance. The nature of Friday night footy is that every game is a danger game and the Woodies have had to ring in several forced and unforced changes.

Into the side come Val Pope from a hamstring injury, Matt Garland from general soreness and also the legendary Woodies figure, Tim Green for his first game of 2020. Another key inclusion is the ‘Minister of Defence’ himself, David Jackson who will play alongside son Tristan Jackson. Another strong inclusion is Alex Dickfos back from a few years in London. Alex is a senior Premiership player who was a strong spearhead for the QAFL side, having kicked over 200 goals from 89 senior games and will provide a strong focal point in attack.

A win for the Woodies just about guarantees a finals berth, and they will be switched on after last weeks disappointing loss.

The boys would love some support away from hiome, and a couple of volunteers to help would be handy too!
