Fresh off their first win for the season last week against Nhill, the Eagles are looking to string a couple of victories together when they play the Demons in A grade netball for the Wimmera Football Netball League.
After the 18-goal win against Nhill, coach of Warrack, Sarah Spicer, considered the fact she didn't make as many substitutions as she had been making this season in their last match and said she would explore if that contributed to their success.
"I probably have rolled people off and on a bit in the first four weeks, trying to work out what works best, whereas on Saturday I didn't make any changes – well, little changes – and perhaps that was part of our success yesterday and something I need to be mindful of," she said.
The side, currently in sixth, will need a lot to go their way when they face the Horsham side, who are second, and the coach of the Eagles is under no illusion as to the challenge that awaits them.
"It's definitely a big challenge but I think we should be able to match them in some areas of the court, and if we are having a good day, and they are having an off day, you don't know what might happen," she said.
"We will have to be first to the ball and extremely strong, because they are a physical team and a tall team as well."
In other round seven matches, Dimboola faces Stawell, Nhill will battle it out with the Thunder, and the Horsham Saints and Minyip Murtoa will contest.
