Riddled with injuries right across the ground, the senior footballers are working hard on and off the track to be best placed come finals.

Blair Hart of the clubs football development department said a week without any injuries would be a nice change.

"We had to make some big changes on Saturday due to our existing injuries and then we got another in the first quarter on Saturday," he said.

"It would be good to go through a few weeks without any more and get some of the guys who are working hard off the track to get back into the side.

"We're managing the players we've got in, as well as the players who are out.

"We're ensuring all the players who are injured are seeing all the right people they need to as soon as possible so we can get them back playing as soon as they are ready."

One of the biggest blows to the side is forward Cody Driscoll, who is leading the league's goalkicking, and assistant coach Jay Moody.

"Out of probably our top 10 players, we've got at least five who are out at the moment," he said.

"In saying that, some of our younger players have really stood up to the challenge and have had a crack."

In WFNL round 11 action, the Warriors went up against Nhill in cold, damp conditions.

Hart said although the result didn't resemble the last time the Warriors went up against Nhill, the intent and effort was the same.

"Nhill at Nhill is always challenging - it doesn't matter where we are on the ladder or they are on the ladder, it's always a challenge," he said.

"We changed up a few things - Jacko (Jackson Dark) went forward. Just a few things like that we had to change up to accommodate the players out we had which throws a few other things out.

"We also had a period of football where some free kicks didn't go our way which led to frustration within the younger players.

"It's something we will work with and talk through with the players about staying disciplined even when frustrated."

As the siren rang out at Davis Park, Nhill, Stawell travelled home after claiming a win, 11.12 (78) to 4.10 (34).

In round 12, Stawell will go up against the Warrack Eagles who are sitting on one win for the season.

"This week at training and on Saturday will give us a chance to regroup, get some more game time into the junior players who are stepping up and work on some new structures we've set up," Hart said.

Over on the courts, Stawell played consistently over the four quarters and walked away with a 17-goal win.

In round 12, the A Grade netballers will be looking for a big win over the third-placed Warrack Eagles.

Stawell, who sit in the fourth spot, will be eyeing off that third-spot position and a win, plus a bit of percentage could be the answer.

Their fourth spot could be in jeopardy if they lose, as fifth-placed Dimboola will go up against bottom team Nhill. The Roos should get the win, and if it is a convincing one, they could jump up to fourth.
