"We're still in the trial process. We're trying to get a few combinations happening and see how players go."
Last year's grand final winning coach Mick Gavin, who will coach reserves and assist Eagleton this year, believes simply having the former Jet on board gives Morisset a mammoth boost towards its State League goal.
"It's a double whammy," Gavin said.
"With him he attracts new good players and we get to retain good players because they are happy to play under such a quality coach."
Gavin said former Australian junior representative Kevin Schneider had been instrumental in Eagleton joining Morisset.
Schneider played with the likes of Socceroos Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton for the Australian under 17s.
He and Eagleton played together at Budgewoi before Schneider switched to Morisset last season with Chris Verrios, with the pair guiding the club to grand final glory.
Schneider has been suspended by the club due to an off-field incident, although he is appealing the ban.
The Strikers will take on Kincumber at Auston Oval, Morisset, on Sunday (March 7). First grade will kick off at 3pm.
