BFL Wash Up Round 10

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.

Final Score

Anglesea: 5.6 (36)

Torquay: 16.17 (113)

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.

Best

Modewarre: D. Beames, M. Fenton, Z. May, C. Farrell, J. Finch, P. Fitzgerald

Barwon Heads: R. Harvey, M. Phelps, B. Eddy, K. Polley, S. Baker, N. Aulsebrook

Goals

Modewarre: 2 C. Joseph, D. Beames, M. Overman

Barwon Heads: 3 B. Eddy, 2 N. Aulsebrook, 2 S. Baker, S. Lyle, M. Phelps

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. 

Best

Newcomb: C. Ogle, M. Walson, B. Ritchie, L. Carmichael, S. Scolaro, J. Walker

Geelong Amateur: B. Barnett, S. Alesios, J. Scarlett, K. Bucovaz, G. Hardiman, D. Lovick

Goals

Newcomb: 4 A. Steele, 2 J. Duke, J. Dumont, C. Ogle, B. Ritchie, J. Walker

Geelong Amateur: 4 M. Hungerford, 2 B. Barnett, K. Bucovaz, S. Bucovaz, E. Farley, S. Hosking, L. Reilly, J. Scarlett 

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.  

Best

Ocean Grove: J. Paterson, T. Chalkley, J. McHenry, D. Moroney, C. Pickett, J. Lange

Queenscliff: Z. Henderson, Alex Davie, S. Bowtell, A. Hogan, D. Gibbs

Goals

Ocean Grove: 3 J. Paterson, 2 F. Long, 2 J. McHenry, E. Dayman, J. Horton

Queenscliff: 2 J. Rush, B. Dawson, D. Gibbs, J. Hedley, I. McCabe

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

Goals

Drysdale: 9 M. Hebbard, 6 J. Garth, 4 J. Breust, 3 M. Clark, 2 J. Hargreaves, L. Dalgleish, N. Egan, B. Fennell, S. Fleming, M. Mcguire, B. Sykes

Portarlington: M. Farrell, L. Hart

Final Score

Drysdale: 30.24 (204)

Portarlington: 2.2(14)
