Promising start for Sturt

Another exciting season looms for Sturt after a convincing 62-point practice match triumph over Woodville-West Torrens at Thebarton Oval on Saturday.
The Double Blues looked ready for action against an Eagles outfit, which struggled for cohesion and looked patchy.
Woodville-West Torrens coach Ron Fuller would not use the absence of a number of key players as an excuse, saying he was disappointed with his side’s intensity off the ball.
Sturt got past a lapse in third quarter, mainly due to several positional changes from coach Rick Macgowan, to overpower the Eagles 17.14 (116) to 7.12 (54).
Meanwhile, the Eagles have taken advantage of Geelong not using their father-son option of Tom Couch, son of Brownlow Medallist Paul, to lure the 19 year-old midfielder across the border.
Couch is looking to maximise his “greater opportunities” in South Australia in an effort to boost his chances of being draft to the big league, after five VFL games with the talent-laden Cats last year.
