BFL Wash Up Round 8

Anglesea vs Newcomb

A persistent fight paid off for Anglesea last Saturday as the Roos' defeated Newcomb by 14 points. Ryan Williams was the tip of the spear for Anglesea, who finished his day with five majors.

The win has pushed Anglesea further from the bottom, but can they cause an upset against teams of a higher class? The question will be answered this Saturday when they face the Coutas. For Newcomb, their losing streak is looking to be increased with Drysdale as their next opponent.

Final Score

Anglesea: 12.13 (85)

Newcomb: 11.5 (71)

Barwon Heads vs Portarlington

I don't believe I have ever seen a deficit this big in football. A 240 point smashing from Barwon Heads has kept the Demons in hell. Portarlington still remains at the bottom of the ladder with no wins or encouraging signs.

Barwon Heads will travel to Ocean Grove this weekend. Barwon will want to put Ocean Grove away early considering their persistent nature. Portarlington will return home and the Warriors will be waiting for them.

Best

Portarlington: I. Holroyd, K. Goedemoed, S. Wiffen, J. Rose, M. Spence

Portarlington: T. Benham, K. Goedemoed, B. Wells

Final Score

Barwon Heads: 40.24 (264)

Portarlington: 3.6 (24)

Drysdale vs Modewarre

Drysdale keeps bridging the gap with their opposition term by term. Modewarre started well, but the Hawks have this ability to play harder for longer. The final result was Drysdale winners by 19 points.

As we pass the halfway point of the BFL 2022 season next week, Drysdale will look to make a statement against Newcomb. The Warriors on the other hand will be at ease with Portarlington as their next stop.

Final Score

Drysdale: 18.14 (122)

Modewarre: 16.7 (103)

Geelong Amateur vs Ocean Grove

After an extremely slow start by Ocean Grove, it was an uphill battle to catch Geelong. Ocean Grove managed to get within reach of taking the lead in the third term, but the Ammos were too good in the fourth. The Ammos walked away 19 point victors.

Ocean Grove will be set a task this week against Barwon Heads, but at least the match will be on home soil. The Ammos move on to take a real test in Torquay who have a habit of steamrolling their opposition.

Best

Ocean Grove: J. Paterson, J. Horton, J. Kneebone, M. Taylor, K. Annand, H. Pearce

Geelong Amateur: 2 E. Farley, B. Barnett, K. Bucovaz, S. Bucovaz, L. Crichton, G. Hardiman, D. McNeel, L. Reilly, H. Scott

Ocean Grove: 3 J. Paterson, K. Annand, E. Dayman, H. Pearce, J. Rawlings, A. Todorov

Final Score

Geelong Amateur: 10.15 (75)

Ocean Grove: 8.8 (56)

Torquay vs Queenscliff

The Tigers went fishing last Saturday, and for four quarters, they were eating Coutas. Queenscliff was overwhelmed from the start of the first siren. Torquay easily took home the four points after crushing the Coutas by 82 points.

Torquay has been nothing short of perfect since their defeat by Drysdale. Geelong Ammos have put themselves up as a contender for the flag this year, the Tigers will want to silence their claims this weekend. As for the Coutas, they may find a challenge with Anglesea this weekend.

Best

Queenscliff: I. McCabe, L. Kidd, Z. Henderson, A. Davie, D. Gibbs, J. Hedley
