Battle between bottom sides
This week, the Eagles face the Horsham Demons in a battle between eighth and ninth.
After a bye in the first week, Warrack has lost to Thunder (by 22 points), Minyip Murtoa (15), Ararat (103), Horsham Saints (14), and last week, Nhill (18).
The Demons have lost to Ararat (148 points), Horsham Saints (eight), Nhill (54), Dimboola (89), and Stawell (94).
Asked if this was the week the side gets their first win for the season on the board, the coach of the Eagles, Matt Walder, was no-nonsense in his reply.
"Well, it has to be, doesn't it?" he said.
"And we have to view it like that, and no doubt Horsham will be doing the same thing.
"But from our perspective, all those close results, we have to turn into a winning one now."
But it's not going to be easy – and the Eagles would need to be consistent over four quarters, the coach said.
"Our best footy is good enough, and we know that, it's just producing it for longer periods," he said.
"Getting a good start against a lively and young Horsham team is important."
