Burras look to continue their dominance
The Eagles finally landed at Anzac Park last week for their opening match in the Wimmera Football Netball Leauge season, albeit after a delay.
The way the WFNL draw fell this season meant Matt Walder's team had a bye in Round One, before having Good Friday/Easter Saturday off.
And the result of their first game didn't go the way of Warrack, defeated by the Thunder 10.6 (66) to 13.10 (88).
In contrast, the Burras, Minyip Murtoa, have had a couple of hit outs this season are are undefeated, and second on the ladder.
They defeated Dimboola by 41 points and then Stawell by 20 points and will be looking to add the Eagle's scalp to that list.
Having actually seen his team in action now, Walder said heading into the Burra's contest, he is still learning about some of his players and what their best 21 looks like.
"I'm learning about what about best defensive, best midfield unit looks like, and Minyip are up and about, but at the end of the day, we are still finding out about ourselves," he said.
"I'll identify areas of Minyip hopefully we can quell that, but also improve our game to test them."
