Jake Johansen tipped to be recalled to Eagles line-up to face North Adelaide
WOODVILLE-West Torrens coach Michael Godden has kept his options open to replace Tom Gray for the preliminary final clash against North Adelaide.
WOODVILLE-West Torrens is expected to recall Jake Johansen for the preliminary final clash against North Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Sunday as the replacement for injured Tom Gray.
Eagles coach Michael Godden has three options to come into the line-up after also naming James Rowe and Nick Moore, who has yet to play league football, in a 23-man squad.
Johansen has missed the past two games because of a calf problem, but has returned to full training this week to push his case for selection.
Moore, 19, was the leading goalkicker in the reserves and has a strong attack on the ball.
The Roosters have added Dakota Nixon to the 21 who beat Sturt in the first semi-final.
