SFL Community League live 2025 stream: Sorell v Claremont, Round 8

While they may enter the round 8 match as overriding favourites, Sorell are under no illusions what can happen if they take Claremont lightly on Saturday. Watch it LIVE here.

Claremont will face another tough task this Saturday when they take on Sorell, but the Magpies’ Blake Wood says they won’t be focusing on the scoreboard.

The Magpies are coming off another massive loss against previous winless team Hobart last Saturday and sit on just 21 per cent after the first seven rounds.

They’ll have the chance to turn their fortunes around against Sorell with the senior matchup available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 2pm.

The Sorell v St Virgil’s SFLW clash will also be available from 12pm.

Wood said despite the losses, the club remained in high spirits.

“We are travelling pretty good in the way we are continually getting around each other and being teammates,” Wood said.

“We know it is another tough task this weekend against Sorell but we aren’t focusing on the scoreboard.

“We have all year and continually will look at winning the small moments and continue to get better.

“We want to be a team that is tough to beat, in moments we have shown that but we haven’t been consistent.

“There is no better time to really string four quarters together than against Sorell.”

The two clubs met previously in round 2 with Sorell winning by 178 points.

It was the Magpies second lowest score of the season, with just 2.4 (16), before they went on an uprising score average of 51.8 for the next five rounds.

Sorell’s Brock Daniels said his club won’t be taking them lightly.

“They have really improved since the last few years which is great to see,” Daniels said.

“What we want is a tight competition and we can see they have stepped up and I don’t think any team will take them lightly anymore.

“That’s the thing, if you take any team lightly, well they can get you on their day.

“We will play our brand of footy and our style and we know it can hold up.”

Sorell are coming off a loss to fellow premiership contender Huonville last week by six goals but Daniels said it was a much closer affair than it looked on the scoreboard.

“If you take out the first quarter, you see just how close the game was,” Daniels said.

“They jumped us and we probably weren’t 100 per cent on in the first quarter, but credit to Huonville they are a really strong side.”
