The Magpies will play a depth-loaded South Warrnambool at Friendly Societies Park on Saturday.

And with the Roosters edging closer to full-strength, Camperdown coach Neville Swayn is under no illusion of the challenge on its hands.

"They have some serious depth. We spoke about it at training on Tuesday night, that they aren't relying on just three or four through there," Swayn said.

"We'll back our mids in. It's a huge test for us. Koroit and South have been earmarked as the teams to beat and we'll look forward to a ripping challenge."

Swayn said avoiding turnovers was key for his men.

"We'll want to make sure our ball-use is (sharp)," he said. "If you turn it over against a side like South they'll hurt you. Getting that midfield right will be a pretty key area."

The match will be the Magpies' first 2pm start of 2021.
