Barwon Heads vs Anglesea

The Seagulls are still flying high with Nathan Brown proving to be unstoppable kicking seven goals for Barwon Heads. The Seagulls hit Anglesea hard early, and the Kangaroos couldn’t find their way back into the match.

Anglesea has had some tough opposition in recent weeks, coming off losses to some serious contenders for the flag. Ocean Grove is their next stop, and the Kangaroos will be eager to regain some momentum for the rest of the season. The Seagulls on the other hand, will have a test against Torquay.

Best

Barwon Heads: C. Walter, N. Brown, O. Wiltshire, S. Baker, L. Mitchell, J. Mclauchlan

Anglesea: S. Umbers, M. Simpson, S. Leeds, J. Moverley, L. Beers, M. Connell

Final Score

Barwon Heads: 29.6 (180)

Anglesea: 12.6 (78)

Drysdale vs Queenscliff

The contribution around the ground from Drysdale is the reason they are playing so dominantly. They come out from the opening bounce with pace, and their opposition struggles to play the game of ‘catch me if you can’.

Queenscliff lies just outside the top five, with finals approaching they will need to tackle some contenders if they are to make it to the big dance. Defeating Modewarre this weekend would be the perfect start. It would be even more perfect for them if Drysdale defeats Geelong Amateur.  

Best

Drysdale: B. Fennell, M. Clark, J. Preece, J. Breust, T. Ruggles, N. Egan

Final Score

Drysdale: 18.21 (129)

Queenscliff: 7.10 (52)

Modewarre vs Geelong Amateur

Modewarre are starting to click at the right time. Tom Hornsey proved to be the difference last week with five goals to finish his day. Geelong Amateur takes a back step, and are now in danger of being knocked out of the top five.

It will take a determination, hard work, and sheer will, for the Ammos if they are a chance against Drysdale. The Warriors will face another contender for the top five in Queenscliff. The next seven rounds have turned into a race.

Best

Modewarre: M. Fenton, Z. May, M. Kasparian, J. Finch, T. Hornsey, C. Joseph

Geelong Amateur: M. Thacker, N. Kelly, S. Darley, E. Farley, S. Hosking, M. Hungerford

Final Score

Modewarre: 20.8 (128)

Geelong Amateur: 11.6 (72)

Torquay vs Portarlington

Torquay have responded to every question that critics ask of a real finalist team save one loss. Now it’s time for Barwon Heads to answer the question this weekend. Can the Seagulls knock off one of the BFL titans before finals and prove they are a chance for the flag?

The Tigers are only ahead by one win on the ladder from the Seagulls, and if the Tigers were to lose, it wouldn’t affect their second spot. This is all about early bragging rights. The Tigers were the Seagulls better in their last encounter. Let’s see if Barwon Heads has learned something from that defeat.

Portarlington will face Newcomb at PlasterCom Oval.

Best

Torquay: Mackenzie Burns, Sam Caruso, Callum Currie, Sheldon Ham, Charlie Johnson, Max Hurley

Portarlington: M. Farrell, T. Benham, N. Woodhams, I. Holroyd, J. Cummins, N. Cini

Portarlington: Lachlan Hart

Final Score

Torquay: 36.24 (240)

Portarlington: 1.3 (9)

Newcomb vs Ocean Grove

As to be expected, a very tight contest. Newcomb got the better of Ocean Grove in the third term but failed to hold off the Grubbers in the fourth. Power is definitely showing more effort in the past few weeks despite their current streak of losses.

That streak is likely to end when they face the Demons this weekend. The Grubbers will meet Anglesea at Ray Menzies Oval. The Kangaroos are in a bit of a rut lately with Ocean Grove looking like the early favourites this weekend.

Ocean Grove: K. Annand, R. Hobbs, T. Chalkley, F. Keck, H. Pearce, J. McHenr

No reportable offence was noted and no charge was laid.

No other incidents were captured on vision for the MRP to review.

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.

Best

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

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

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
