Anglesea vs Modewarre

Modewarre are starting to get competitive at the right time. They have been on a roll for the last few weeks with more than convincing victories, the latest Anglesea by 33 points.

After the bye, the Warriors will face a rejuvenated Newcomb, who are currently enjoying their football. Modewarre does not want to underestimate this wildcard. The Kangas will hop on to meet Geelong Amateur at Queens Park.

Best

Anglesea: J. Harrison, D. Midolo, M. Simpson, J. Moverley, R. Williams, S. Leeds

Modewarre: C. Farrell, M. Kasparian, O. Butler, J. Ollis, J. O'hanlon, L. Warburton

Modewarre: 3 T. Hornsey, 2 J. O'Hanlon, 2 J. Ollis, 2 T. Worpel, C. Farrell, M. Fenton, C. Joseph, J. Peck, B. Wemyss

Final Score

Anglesea: 10.9 (69)

Modewarre: 14.18 (102)

Drysdale vs Barwon Heads

It seems all that Barwon Heads managed to do in the first term was make Drysdale angry. After keeping the Hawks to one goal in the opening quarter, Drysdale would go on to kick nine majors in the second term. From there it was a typical Drysdale game.

Next Saturday, it’s the ‘big one’ before finals: Torquay vs Drysdale. The last time it was the Hawks with an emphatic victory over the Tigers, but another win could set up mental demons for the future. Definitely, one to watch. Barwon Heads returns to Howard Harmer Oval, Queenscliff will be their next match.

Best

Drysdale: N. Egan, M. Hebbard, B. Fennell, J. Preece, T. Nofi, J. Breust

Barwon Heads: O. Wiltshire, L. Mitchell, S. Lyle, D. Graham, M. Beckwith, M. Philp

Final Score

Drysdale: 18.12 (120)

Barwon Heads: 6.8 (44)

Newcomb vs Queenscliff

This resurgence from Power has been relieving for Newcomb fans. It was not an easy win over Queenscliff who were in reach of stealing the win, but Power hung on. A superb effort by Jack Duke with four majors, he proved to be the difference up forward.

Newcomb looks to Modewarre next. The Power will have the home-ground advantage but the Warriors have been consistent in their wins for weeks. If they somehow topple Modewarre, finals will be within their reach. Queenscliff will want a better start to next week against Barwon Heads. Unfortunately, for the Coutas, the Seagulls have just suffered a big loss and they will be seeking redemption.

Best

Newcomb: R. Hollins, B. Cullinan, J. Duke, R. Jackman, M. Andrews, F. Anscombe

Queenscliff: B. Anwyl, Z. Henderson, C. Whitley, C. Durran, J. McIvor-Clark, I. McCabe

Goals

Newcomb: 4 J. Duke, 2 R. Hollins, 2 E. Taylor, B. Cullinan, C. Ogle, B. Ritchie, J. Walker

Queenscliff: 2 I. McCabe, A. Davie, B. Dawson, T. Dickinson, J. Hedley, L. Kidd, C. Whitley, D. Whitley

Final Score

Newcomb: 12.9 (81)

Queenscliff: 9.16 (70)

Portarlington vs Geelong Amateur

Geelong needed a big win and they delivered as expected. Kristian Bucovaz was the tip of the spear for the Ammos. A monstrous eight-goal haul, saw Bucovaz leave the field a happy man. As were the rest of his teammates.

The Ammos' next match is against Anglesea. They will want a repeat performance from last weekend as finals contenders are itching to get that fifth spot. Portarlington will face Ocean Grove

Best

Portarlington: L. Hart, T. Benham, M. Ruiter, J. Rose, N. Cini, J. Muscat

Geelong Amateur: S. Darley, K. Bucovaz, S. Bain, S. Alesios, J. Lee, T. Stephen

Geelong Amateur: 8 K. Bucovaz, 3 S. Darley, 3 M. Hungerford, 2 B. Barnett, 2 D. McNeel, S. Bain, E. Farley, T. Stephen, M. Thacker

Final Score

Portarlington: 3.5 (23)

Geelong Amateur: 22.21 (153)

Torquay vs Ocean Grove

It was a powerful performance by Torquay. Sheldon Ham had seven majors with Ben Raidme right behind him with six. They were no doubt sending a message to Drysdale.

This upcoming match means everything. If the Tigers win, they kill those mental demons before finals time. If they lose, Drysdale maintains that image of invincibility. Ocean Grove will turn their attention to Portarlington.

Best

Torquay: S. Ham, B. Henderson, S. Caruso, B. Raidme, C. Currie, P. McMahon

Ocean Grove: F. Keck, T. Chalkley, E. Dayman, M. Sutton, H. Pearce, R. Hobbs
