Anglesea vs Torquay
It was always going to be tough for Anglesea against Torquay. Across all four quarters of last weekend's match, you see a dominant team. Anglesea has had some spring in their step in recent weeks, but the Tigers are real contenders. The deficit this time was 77 points.
The Tigers will have another easy kill against Portarlington in their upcoming match. Anglesea will have another tough task this Saturday when they face Barwon Heads who are full of confidence at the moment.

Modewarre vs Barwon Heads
Modewarre got backhanded by the Seagulls last weekend. The Warriors seem to have dropped off in form in the past few rounds. From the start of the game till the final siren, they were never in the contest.
Modewarre will not have to leave their home-field advantage this weekend, but they will want to make a statement against Geelong Amateurs who seem to be in the same boat as the Warriors. Barwon Heads have proven they are better than most and currently deserve their third spot. The Seagulls will return home this Saturday, where Anglesea awaits.

Final Score
Modewarre: 4.8 (32)
Barwon Heads: 9.14 (68)
Newcomb vs Geelong Amateur
The Ammos may have got the win, but Power definitely gave them a fright. The drop off in the third term by Newcomb, allowed Geelong Amateur to go into the final term with a healthy lead. Power fought hard but couldn’t claim the four points.
Geelong Amateur are getting harder to predict with each passing round. This next match against Modewarre will show us where they’re at. As for Newcomb, a much better effort than what has been seen in previous performances. They will want to keep that form going into their next match against Ocean Grove.

Final Score
Newcomb: 10.9 (69)
Geelong Amateur: 12.12 (84)
Ocean Grove vs Queenscliff
The Grubbers gained the early advantage with the Coutas trailing at every quarter. A dominant third term saw Ocean Grove hold on until the final siren despite a hungry Queenscliff.
Finally, Ocean Grove gets some reward for all their efforts. They were flat in Round 9 but were keen to make amends last Saturday. The Grubbers will be hungry to keep their edge against Newcomb while Queenscliff will have quite the task when they come up against Drysdale.

Final Score
Ocean Grove: 9.10 (64)
Queenscliff: 6.15 (51)
Drysdale vs Portarlington
The Demons are still trapped at the bottom without any hope in sight. Not that anybody expected much considering they had to play against a team that hasn’t been defeated all season. At least they kept the deficit below 200 points this time.
Portarlington’s horror run will continue with Torquay as their next stop. As for the mighty Hawks, they don’t need to go anywhere this weekend, Queenscliff will come to them.
Best
Drysdale: T. Ruggles, M. Hebbard, M. Mcguire, J. Breust, M. Pigott, J. Garth
Portarlington: J. Cummins, S. Wiffen, S. Walton, R. Salvador, J. Rose, F. Goedemoed

Portarlington: M. Farrell, L. Hart
Final Score
Drysdale: 30.24 (204)
Portarlington: 2.2(14)
Barwon Heads vs Torquay
A fight back in the second term saw Barwon Heads take the lead, from there, the real test began. Torquay struck back with five unanswered majors in the third quarter. From there, the Tigers moved on to a convincing 30-point victory.
The Seagulls are still that step below the elite talent. They will get their chance again in their next match against Drysdale. But they will need to produce a four-quarter effort if they are to down the ladder leaders. Torquay will face Ocean Grove as the Tigers return to their den.
Best
Barwon Heads: K. Maher, N. Avery, M. Philp, M. Beckwith, K. Treweek, O. Wiltshire
Torquay: M. Hurley, B. Henderson, S. Caruso, M. Croxford, B. Raidme, B. McNamara

Torquay: 3 T. Grace, 2 C. Currie, 2 T. Diamond, 2 W. Doyle, S. Caruso, J. Darke, J. Dawson, S. Ham, B. Raidme
Final Score
Barwon Heads: 9.12 (66)
Torquay: 14.12 (96)
Geelong Amateur vs Drysdale
Another supreme victory by Drysdale. Mat Hebbard was outstanding last Saturday with an eight-goal performance. You can’t give the Hawks an inch, they must be matched in every term. Despite their undefeated streak, they have shown that they can be shaken.
The last time Drysdale met Barwon Heads in the first round, the Seagulls lost by very little. Perhaps this weekend may serve as a challenge for the mighty Hawks. As for Geelong Amateur, they will want a big win against Portarlington, they are just hanging onto their current fifth spot.

Drysdale: C. Lynch, M. Hebbard, N. Egan, J. Breust, M. Mcguire, J. Jenkins

Final Score
Geelong Amateur: 10.10 (70)
Drysdale: 20.13 (133)
Newcomb vs Portarlington
The Power has been good in recent weeks. Put wins and losses aside, you can see when a team is competing despite their circumstances. The win was well deserved, Andrew Steel finishing with five majors with Jack Duke just behind him with four.
Newcomb face an intriguing match-up this weekend when they meet the Coutas. The Power will play on home soil, but Queenscliff will want to bounce back after a poor defeat from Modewarre. The Demons will face Geelong Amateur.
Best

Portarlington: W. Foott, I. Holroyd, M. Farrell, S. Walton, T. Benham, R. Salvador

Final Score
Newcomb: 15.26 (116)
Portarlington: 2.2 (14)
Ocean Grove vs Anglesea
Ocean Grove will be bitter on that defeat. They came out strong and played solid football for three quarters, but not four. The Kangas just hopped over the line with the help of Ben Jaska finishing his day with a bag.
Anglesea will return home this weekend when they face Modewarre who are coming off a solid win. Ocean Grove will find it tough to beat Torquay on their home ground.
Best

Final Score
Ocean Grove: 16.8 (104)
Anglesea: 17.8 (110)
Queenscliff vs Modewarre
After the Barwon Heads loss, Modewarre has been on a role lately. Seven goals to Tom Hornsey, the man proved to be unstoppable. Connor Joseph was no slouch either with six majors for his tally.
The Coutas seem to be a little off in recent weeks, they desperately need the win against Newcomb at PlasterCom Oval but Power seem to be ready to fight. The Warriors will take on Anglesea, and you could imagine Modewarre will want to put the foot down early.
