TSL: North Launceston welcome back experienced duo

But North Launceston coach Taylor Whitford knows his side's Saturday clash against Glenorchy won't be a walk in the park.

In a tale of contrasting seasons, Whitford's men haven't dropped a game since their round two loss to Launceston whereas Glenorchy have tasted victory three times.

"They've still got class players all over the field," he said.

"They were in the game last week up until the last bit of that last quarter so they are going to be a challenge for us as well.

"Traditionally it's a really big game against Glenorchy, over the last three or four years there's been some really good tussles so we are looking to finish our season well."

The reigning premiers came back from their Bass Highway road trip victorious in round seven after overcoming a goalless first term against the breeze to win by 52 points.

Admitting it's slightly cliché, Whitford is looking for his midfielders to get the job done in the return clash at UTAS Stadium.

"If we're able to get the ball forward and in our half of the ground, I think it goes a long way to us winning the game.

"Obviously with the likes of Alex [Lee] and Josh [Ponting] through our midfield, we need to get on top in that area.

"They've got some quality players up forward with Aiden Grace coming back last week and if we give them opportunities, they are a chance to kick away."

Following last week's win over the Tigers where the Bombers young brigade starred through the midfield, Whitford welcomes some experienced campaigners in skipper Brad Cox-Goodyer, Mark Walsh and Jack Rushton.

Another impressive young star Baynen Lowe makes way as well as former NTFA pair Jake Laskey and Nathan Pearce while the Magpies made two changes from the side that narrowly lost to North Hobart.

Arguably one of the best to play the game in Tasmania, Jaye Bowden, laced the boots for the final time last week and comes out, as does Cooper Meredith while former Hawk Zac Webster and Dominic Brown return.
