A win on Sunday at CB Complex will secure a top-five finish for Olympic and Tagaroulias was pleased with the health of his squad, which came through unscathed from the 2-0 win over Adamstown last weekend.

"Bodies are actually coming back, which makes it fairly difficult at the selection table," Tagaroulias said.

Joe Temperley (knee) and Tom Curran (hip) may not return this season but Olympic are otherwise full strength.

Denis Fajkovic was a last-minute withdrawal against Rosebud with illness but he will be back this week. Anthony Marenghi returned after a week off, while Tim Stewart, Blake Green and Reece Papas continued their comebacks from injury.

Olympic will be expected to get the job done against eighth-placed Valentine, who cannot change their position.

Tagaroulias, though, was wary of a team who pushed Maitland all the way in a 1-0 loss at CB Complex last week with player-coach Adam Hughes and captain Chris Brown out injured. Both could be back this week.

"Hughesy has got them organised, he's given a few young blokes a go and he's utilising his experienced blokes very well," he said.

"They are going to be a difficult team and they have Alex Read, Ben Hay and a couple of others who can change a game.

"It's not easy. At any given time, these teams can stick it to you and Valentine are no different.

"And while some teams can work hard and make it difficult for you, Valentine will work hard plus they have some quality."
