BFNL Netball Preview | Round 16
AFL Barwon writer Wil Spence previews this weekend’s A Grade Netball matches in the Bellarine Football Netball League.
Drysdale vs Ocean Grove
Drysdale Recreation Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 2nd August, 2025
The reigning premiers should be hard to beat as they continue their dominant season, remarkably still without a loss.
Drysdale no doubt will put up a strong performance after a brave fight last weekend against Torquay.
For the Grubbers, Zanna Woods should be important in attack, having shot 88.4% in front of goals this season.
Chloe Hobbs ability to play multiple positions in attack and defense for the Hawks will be crucial for their chances this weekend.

Geelong Amateur vs Torquay
Queens Park Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 2nd August, 2025
Could be a week one finals preview which should excite the competition,
The last time both sides played each other, back in round one, Geelong Amateur’s came out on top by 24 goals.
Be sure to see Torquay come out and apply the heat early with a top three spot guaranteed with a win.
Ammos centre/wing attack, Georgia Duncan should have a major impact on court, particularly with her passing and poise.
Tigers goal shooter, Daisy O’Kane is in a rich rein of form having shot 38 goals last week, expect plenty of opportunities this weekend.
Tune into AFL Barwon TV from 1.50pm on Saturday to watch live coverage of this big clash!

Modewarre vs Anglesea
Mount Moriac Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 2nd August, 2025
Both sides have faced challenges this season, yet you can always expect a fierce contest from both clubs.
Last time both sides played each other, back in round eight, Anglesea defeated Modewarre by 21 goals.
The Warriors will be looking for a fast start, putting the Roos defense on the back burner.
At either end of the court, Jemma Nelson for Modewarre and Jessica Coker for Anglesea should figure to see plenty of opportunities in front of goals.

Portarlington vs Queenscliff
Portarlington Recreation Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 2nd August, 2025
A massive game for both sides, Portarlington’s finals hopes hang in the balance, they must win this weekend and hope other results fall their way to stay alive.
Queenscliff are playing for a second chance, sitting one game outside the top three, winning is a must.
The Dees have been in some strong form, outing up a strong fight against Geelong Amateur’s last week,
Laura Robinson will be pivotal in defense for the Dees,
While Coutas wing defense, Keely Kinsey should be important around the court.
Newcomb vs Barwon Heads
Grinter Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 2nd August, 2025
Newcomb can sure up a second consecutive finals appearance with a win this weekend.
Barwon Heads however would love to claim a major scalp this weekend, their form over the past month has been pretty strong, competing against the best sides in the competition.
The last time these two sides played each other, the Power won by 14 goals, expect the Gulls to come out with a point to prove.
The Power will look to, last year’s equal best and fairest, Jessica Duke in defense, particularly her intercepting ability.
Macie Mortlock will be important for the Seagulls in centre court, with her ability to create opportunities for her teammates in attack.
