Echuca will be eager for the bounce of the ball today to go out and redeem itself after arguably its worst performance under Andrew Briggs.
The Murray Bombers were missing some key players and it will turn to the likes of Simon Buckley, Kane Morris, Sam Toulmin, Lucas Denton and William Monahan to try and turn the tables of Euroa.
Briggs said after the Easter Saturday loss to Euroa that it was the hardest running midfield his team had confronted for a long time.
Euroa young gun Ryley Bjorksten played his best game of his short senior career and proved the difference last weekend with his five goals.
Will McFarlane, Benjamin Harrison, Adam Tarrant, Jacob Gleeson and Trent Storer were outstanding in the four quarter arm wrestle with Benalla last weekend.
They will again be important to ensure the Pies remain in the race for a top two finish.
Tip: Euroa.

Euroa produced arguably its best win of the season to keep its finals aspirations well and truly alive with seven games to play.
The Magpies needed to claim a scalp like they did to regenerate their season.
Kelly Hill was outstanding in defence last weekend and provided plenty of drive with her passing into the forward third.
Kali Frost was strong through the mid-court and goal shooter Deanne Tuppen was pivotal in helping get her team over the line.
Echuca will be looking to redeem itself after it struggled to go the distance with the reigning premier.
It is a huge game in the context of both these teams’ aspirations and for the winner finals will be within striking distance.
Tip: Euroa.
