The Warragul Industrials took yet another big step in consolidating their spot inside the top six this week as they totally dismantled a dismal Dalyston.
With finals now on the horizon for the club, the match felt almost akin to a victory lap as they went wild from the first bounce. They kicked six goals to one in the first quarter to build a strong early lead before building upon it with each successive term, eventually winning 20.18 (138) to 7.3 (45).
Mason McGarrity and Travis Ogdenboth booted four goals each, while Kane Oldham, Michael Debenham and Shane Brewster were clearly having fun as the Dusties ran circles around the Magpies.
Mason Storr was the only multiple goalkicker for the visitors with three to be one of just a few winners across the ground for Dalyston.
The Magpies, who were surprisingly solid the last time these teams met earlier this year, were simply overwhelmed this time around. The Dusties had clearly learned since they were given a scare in that game, and were much more disciplined in their defensive efforts in the rematch.
With just four games left in the home and away season, the Dusties are three wins clear inside the top six. With three of their remaining matches against fellow top six sides, they can’t be taking anything for granted.
A match next week against fourth-placed Nar Nar Goon looms as a real barometer for both teams.

Cora Lynn has bounced back well from last week’s heavy loss to Phillip Island to score a 67-point win over Kilcunda-Bass.
The Cobras opened the turbo-chargers in
the second term, kicking 5.8 to 0.0 with the wind to push the Panthers’ challenge to one side.
The Cobras lead up to finals will increase in difficulty as the weeks roll on, with Garfield, Dalyston, Kooweerup and Warragul Industrials over the next month of footy.
Nathan Gardiner was rock-solid for the Cobras, booting four, while three to Gus Da Costa, and two to Cory Machaya, proved too much for the Panthers to handle.
Big Billy Thomas was also terrific in the ruck, with Chris Johnson and Jaxon Briggs excelling through the midfield.
Nathan Foote and Dale Gawley continued their absolutely outstanding seasons for the Panthers.

The standout individual performance of the round came courtesy of Kooweerup full forward Jason Wells who booted nine goals in the Demons 18.15.123 to 7.5.47 victory over Garfield at Beswick Street.
Wells now leads the competition with 55 goals for the season with Saturday’s fullish bag following four previous hauls of six and two bags of five.
The Demons were consistent across the four quarters, which will please coach Rhys Nisbet as he looks to finish off the season with some real momentum.
The Demons should make it three-on-the trot against Korumburra-Bena this week, before a challenging run home that consists of Warragul Industrials, Cora Lynn and Tooradin Dalmore.
The Demons are good enough to challenge the Dusties and Cobras on their day…and should be eyeing off one of those two as a big prize coming home.
Luke McMaster added three goals for the Demons, while big-bodied mid Cosi Anagnostou relished the tricky conditions.
Jahmain Harrison booted two for the Stars, who had Zac Soutar once again in great touch around the ground.

Bunyip’s expected rollercoaster finish to the home-and-away season has kicked off in style with the Bulldogs banking an 81-point victory over Korumburra-Bena.
The Bulldogs will struggle against Tooradin and Phillip Island, but should bank wins against Kilcunda-Bass and Dalyston to finish the season on eight wins.
Expectations were high at Bunyip leading in, but considering where they’ve come from…eight wins is a definite pass mark.
Matt Ross stole the show, slotting four majors for the Doggies, while low-to-the-ground players like Dylan Quirk and Chris Thuring enjoyed the tough conditions for marking.
Matt Lello enjoyed his foray forward, booting two goals for the Giants.

Tooradin-Dalmore banked something far more important than four premiership points with its commanding 32-point victory over Inverloch-Kongwak at the Inverloch Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
The Seagulls not only extended their undefeated winning streak to 14, but deposited serious doubt into the mind of one of their biggest challengers for this year’s crown.
Inverloch will be justifiably proud of keeping the Seagulls to their lowest score of the season, but the Sea Eagles did so at the expense of their own attacking flare moving forward.
Blustery conditions certainly made scoring difficult, but the Sea Eagles looked bereft of ideas as they succumbed, 10.10.70 to 5.8.38, to this year’s premiership favourites.
It was also Inverloch’s lowest score for the season, easily eclipsing the 52 points it scored against the Seagulls in a 37-point round-seven defeat.
A strong breeze swept across the ground on the weekend, blowing from the outer wing to the netball-court forward pocket.
Tooradin had the better of the first 15 minutes of play, and if not for some great defensive work from the likes of Hayden Lindsay, who had the job on Stewie Scanlon, and Tom Hams, the home side could have been in some serious early trouble.
The Seagulls set up expertly behind the football, with Brad Lenders, Jordy Kelly, Luke McKenna, Adam Galea, Lewis Hill and Adam Oxley making forward thrusts a rare commodity for the home side.
Egan, Scanlon and Macaffer shared the load for the Seagulls, kicking two each, while the aerial strength of Julian Suarez, the brute force of Wright, and the running capacity of Trezise, Hill and Johnny Duff, caused the home side some headaches throughout the course of the afternoon.
Inverloch never looked like winning, but somehow found a way to stay in the contest… and that was its biggest positive.
They weren’t blown away, and the genius of Ben Soumilas will no doubt be dissecting each moment and coming up with a plan to nullify…no challenge…the Gulls the next time they meet in finals.
Mahoney finished with two for the Eagles, while the efforts of Rankin, Mackie, Hams and Thomas Wyatt were admirable.

Pressure was on from both sides as they looked to solidify their positions, with Nar Nar Goon hoping to topple the Islanders who have continued to dominate the league.
However, it wouldn’t be easy, as each quarter was heavily contested with the Bulldogs leading by only a couple of points.
As the teams ran out, the Bulldogs must have tripped on a black cat whilst running under a ladder!
Luke James was knocked out cold from friendly fire in first 10 minutes, and then captain Youle exited with a badly broken wrist early in the second.
In amongst all this excitement, the Gooners came to play. Whilst the bench was working out its rotations, the Gooners kicked the first 3 goals of the game, making a mockery of the tricky conditions in the howling wind.
Led by Mathew Homfray running riot in the forward line, and Trent Armour and Brent Hughes around the ball, the Bulldogs couldn’t get into the game early.
The third quarter would prove pivotal as The Goon trailed closely behind The Bulldogs, with the scores sitting at just 59 for the home team and 54 for the visitors. The last was a tight affair, with the Gooners unable to score – with Max Walton in particular in defence being outstanding.
The near-exhausted Bulldogs held sway, scoring just enough to run out victors by 13.
A fantastic win given the circumstances, with the supporters able to clearly see that all effort had been expended by the remaining 18 fit players. Island players Eli Richards and Jack Taylor managed to bag two each for their side, with goals spread out between the team.
Ellinbank saw off another rival in its bid to lock away another Ellinbank District football finals appearance.
They had to stave off a first quarter challenge from a young Longwarry side that has been heavily impacted by injury, but they were ultimately too strong as they kicked away to win 12-7 (79) to 5-3 (33).
The result dealt a huge blow to the seventh-placed Crows, who were fighting to keep their fleeting finals hopes alive.
The Crows have now fallen eight points and significant percentage outside of the top five and arguably out of contention.
The Eagles entered the contest aware of the looming challenge of Lang Lang and the need to lock away victory to hold their spot.
With that in mind Ellinbank made the stronger start with three quick goals to establish an early buffer.
Winning the territory battle proved key, scrambling the ball forward for their first major before converting from a set shot.
Jake Harper blazed through the middle from the centre ball up to set up the third.
Not to be denied, the Crows hit back with two goals late in the term.
Jake Stewart found space from the pack for their first before Lachie Spinks shephered a kick from the pack through, reducing the margin to just six points at the first change.
An excellent snap from the pocket from Shaun Phelan to begin the response from the home side, who were able to establish a buffer to set up their comfortable win.
Ellinbank began to get on top in the stoppages, regularly breaking away to set up opportunities.
Anthony Battista converted from the lead before Phelan went long to find Liam Carolan for a mark deep in attack. Initially forced to line up a snap, a 50-metre penalty put his shot in front.
The Crows hit back with a long goal before the home side steadied heading into half time, Battista making another impressive checkside from the pocket.
After shoring up the defence in the first half, coach Ben Wragg moved into attack and would hit the scoreboard, finishing with three goals as the Eagles kicked away.
The home side dominated territory in the third but could only find minor scores for their efforts.
They finally broke through from a set shot but it only garnered a response from the Crows, Jedd Serong bouncing one through with no Ellinbank defenders on the line.
Ned Ashton, Bailey Stephens, Serong, Nicholas Redley, Hamish Busk and Angus Adamiak were working hard from the Crows to keep them in touch.
Timothee Mashado, Wragg, Bryce Joyce, Daniel Risol, Battista and Kyah Karavasilis battled to keep the ascendency with the home side.
Wragg scored a long goal for the immediate response which would ultimately see the Crows off, Ellinbank scoring four of the final five goals.

Buln Buln took its opportunity to gap rivals Poowong in the bid for a top three finish, but it didn’t come without a scare against the fast-finishing Magpies.
Following an even first quarter, the Lyrebirds kicked out to a 21-point lead at the final change, and it took a late steadier to hold on and win 7-10 (52) to 7-2 (44).
Both sides entered the contest missing key players, Steve McInnes for the home side and Hayden Baker and Cam McPhan for the visitor.
Coach Bob McCallum was a welcome inclusion for the Lyrebirds. Spending his time forward, his four goals proved the difference on the day.
Poowong would score first in a goal for goal opener, Jack Hazendonk kicking a long goal after linking up with Matthew Cozzio.
A sore shoulder did little to quell Sam Batson as he found McCallum on the lead for the reply.
A free kick to Patrick Harmes saw the Magpies edge ahead before a good mark at the top of the square from Jayden Sullivan increased the lead.
The Lyrebirds would respond, finding McCallum in the forward 50 unopposed before Batson drifted another home while kicking into the breeze.
It saw the visitor into the lead and proved catalyst for the momentum shift that would see the Lyrebirds kick out to a 21-point margin at the final change.
Jared Doyle goaled from the top of the square as a leg injury to Poowong key defender Andrew Logan caused for concern for the home side.
McCallum proved beneficiary from a fracas with Harmes, gifting him a 50-metre penalty and goal when the Magpies had possession of the ball.
Missed opportunities saw Harmes pull the margin back to 10 points from a free kick. The Lyrebirds moved further ahead in the third term, McCallum adding the only goal for his fourth in his sides’ return of 1-5.
The likes of Trent Baker, Shaun Beecroft, Matthew Gray, Thomas Axford and Brandon Allen had set up the opportunity for the visitor.
But the home side still had a sniff and would come home strongly, Cozzio, Cody and TJ Loughridge, William Lumby, Jed Benham and William Robertson leading the charge.
Robertson scored the first of the final term before Mitch Whiting went looking for Sullivan to create some excitement, but unfortunately for the Magpies the shot had been touched.
Robertson then missed an open Harmes to miss another opportunity for the home side. Working hard at both ends of the ground, Robertson soon redeemed himself taking a strong mark in defence opposed to two.
Harmes kicked his third at the 24-minute mark to reduce the margin to eight points. And when Hazendonk snapped across his body through the agency of a Mitchell Vanthof intercept, it made for a frantic finish.
McCallum imposed himself in the middle and winning a free kick, he played on quickly and went long for territory.
The Magpies had one run left but made a costly turnover as Buln Buln went forward again, where mid-season recruit Matt Stevens would snap truly from the ball up to end Poowong’s hopes.

Trafalgar did as expected and secured a strong win over Catani to move a step closer to securing the double chance.
The Bloods kicked to the scoring end to open proceedings and took full advantage, booting five goals to open an early margin on the way to winning 13-18 (96) to 2-3 (15).
Having their turn in the second term, the Blues struggled to score as each side added one major heading into the long break.
Trafalgar accelerated again in the third adding another six goals before finishing with the only goal of the fourth quarter as the contest came to a dour close.
Damian Mann proved the main target for the Bloods, finishing with eight goals, while Klay Butler chipped in with three majors.
Austin Byrne, Chris Kyriacou, Blake Slater and Mitch Virtue were also prominent.
Catani were best served by Chris Power, James Williams, Jack Hobson, Coby Podd, Riley McDonald and Josh Miller.

Starved of success in a difficult season, Nilma-Darnum showed their most positive signs yet despite the scoreboard showing a big win to Lang Lang, 22-15 (147) to 4-5 (29).
The Bombers took two quarters from the Tigers, including a low scoring first term where both sides scored one goal apiece as Bombers fans dared to dream.
With a spot in the top five on the line, Lang Lang had too much to play for and hopes were dashed when the Tigers put on 11 goals in the second term to take control of the contest.
Daniel Lewis was proving difficult to contain on the way to an eight-goal haul, helping the home side to a 12-5 to 1-2 lead at the long break.
Not to be discouraged, the Bombers put in another gallant effort in the third term, booting three goals to one to win the quarter.
Nathan Campbell, Nick Carrigy, Oxley Huson, Matthew Clynes, Rhonan Perry and Boeden Fries led the competitive effort.
The Tigers again took full toll in the final term, adding eight goals to blow out the score to a margin not indicative of the Bombers’ overall effort.
Mitchell Tribuzi and Tyler Guan each chipped in with three goals with Brody Leitch, Aaron Rose and Jesse Hand also among the better players for the Tigers.

Sale got what it needed in Round 14 of the Gippsland League.
The Magpies were far too strong for Drouin, and won 18.17 (125) to 5.9 (39).
The Hawks competed admirably in the first half, before the visitors broke away, kicking eight goals to one after the main break.
Knowing a game against the bottom side would offer a good chance to increase the all-important percentage, the Magpies did just that.
In a good sign, Sale shared the goals, with four players all kicking three. Jarrod Freeman, Kane Martin, Tom Campbell and Pat Tainsh were the quartet to do so, standing up in the absence of key forward Brad Dessent.
Tainsh was best-on-ground, followed by Jack Leslie, Ryan Pendlebury, Mitch Bown, Martin and Will Leslie.
Ryan Maric, Jordan Kingi, Tom Johnstone, Kye Quirk, Josh Chiv and Tom Barr were best for Drouin.
Maric had a great day, kicking three goals in the thirds, and then doubling-up to kick four in the seniors.

A six goal to two final term proved the most telling, as Moe finished strongly over the travelling Redlegs.
Up until then it had been a competitive game, with both sides sharing periods of dominance.
Riley Baldi was prolific for the Lions, and was a clear best-on-ground. The midfielder was one of three players to kick four goals, along with Jess McGrath, and skipper Jacob Wood.
Ben Morrow and Harri Sim also played well, continuing their good form of late, while Lucas Fry was able to celebrate his 100th game with a win.
Bairnsdale found good service from coach Logan Austin and pocket rocket Brayden McCarrey. The pair finished with five goals each, and loomed as the most likely to take the game away from Moe for most of the day.
Much like David Mundy, McCarrey is perhaps not spoken about as much as he should be given he plays for a club located so far away. In his time at the Redlegs, he has kicked at least 30 goals every season as a small forward, without ever having the luxury of playing in an overly strong team.
Byron Vickery, Austin Hodge, Kieran Vickery and Nathan Dennison were others to put in solid efforts for Bairnsdale.

Playing at home, Traralgon ensured Warragul was never given a look-in, and had 14 scoring shots to one at quarter time.
From there, it was a procession, as the Maroons kicked as many goals in the second term as the Guls managed across the first three.
Only untidiness in front of the big sticks prevented the margin bleeding out to over 100 points.
Brett Eddy kicked half-a-dozen for the second week in a row, while Maroons skipper Dylan Loprese kicked four, and Matt Northe did likewise.
The ease in which Traralgon won left most thinking Warragul either played out of their skin the previous time the teams met, or the Maroons just played horrendously bad.
With 10 losses now to their name, it is mathematically impossible for the Guls to play finals.
Star recruit Jed Lamb could however take home some silverware, following another strong display that saw him kick four goals.
Lamb leads the league goal-kicking by six from Eddy.
The former Carlton player was among the best for Warragul, along with Sean Masterson, Mitch Smart, Jasper Alger, Sam Whibley and Nick Mulqueen.
Best for Traralgon were Tom Schneider, Eddy, Luis D’Angelo, Mitch Membrey, Mark Collison and Adam Jaensch.

The gallant Tigers pushed undefeated Leongatha to the limit, leading late in the game having put the Parrots’ defence under siege in the last term.
After Kuiy Jiath kicked truly from a difficult angle to put Morwell ahead, a few tense minutes followed before Jack Ginnane’s accurate pass found Dawson.
The youngster calmly sent his set shot through for a goal, or that’s how it appeared, but the goal umpire saw it differently signalling a behind.
Despite his inexperience, Dawson moved on quickly, accepting the call and setting up the winning goal shortly after with a well-measured pass to Aaron Hillberg in the Parrots’ goal square.
Hillberg capped his 100th game in style, having already topped the highlights reel when he soared to take a spectacular third term mark.
“He wound back the clock and took a beauty,” Leongatha coach Trent McMicking said of
Hillberg’s mark-of-the-year effort.
Although he was confident in Dawson’s ability to adapt to the pressure at senior level, McMicking was delighted with how well he played.
“He was outstanding and his ruckwork was really good, and he turned the game in the last quarter by giving us first use of the footy,” the coach enthused.
“He’s a very competitive kid and not much phases him.” Dawson, from Mirboo North, but having played his last four years of juniors with Leongatha, made his Gippsland Power debut last week and was available for the Parrots this round due to a Power bye.
He found out on Thursday night he would make his senior debut and kept the nerves to a minimum, something that stood him in good stead come match day.
“I saw him in the goal square so I thought I’d kick it to him,” he said of his pinpoint pass to Hillberg, with the pressure of the moment not having sparked panic in the first gamer.
In an intense contest, played in good spirits, Parrot Sam Forrester suffered a hamstring injury and teammate Sean Westaway a gashed head.
While a number of regular senior players were missing, McMicking’s focus was on those who were available and the opportunity for young players to display their capabilities.
They included Dylan Garnham who played well on a wing, Jackson Harry back from an injury layoff, with Tom Crocker another to impress.
The match was tight throughout the day and McMicking’s voice went up a notch at the last change as he implored his players to see off the threat.
“We’re falling away from our structure and that’s what I’m frustrated about, that blokes aren’t playing their roles,” he said.
He followed that with specific advice for players in a variety of positions, also urging the Parrots to “work harder to cover off the shorts”, feeling Morwell was able to find too many unmanned short targets.
“Make ‘em defend something, deal with the heat and make good decisions,” players were advised.
McMicking praised Morwell’s efforts.
Boolarra have exceeded most expert’s expectations for season 2022 already, sitting third prior to the weekend.
This gave provided an opportunity to climb a spot to second and be in prime position for a short cut through to the grand final. All that stood in their way was Thorpdale, but not for long. The Demons cruised through to a comfortable 15.17-107 to 6.3-39 victory.
Boolarra coach Tony Giardina said it was good to get another four points after a consistent four quarter effort.
“The only thing keeping us from having a big win was our bad kicking for goal,” Giardina said. “To Thorpy’s credit, they kept going all day.”
The Demons are answering every challenge presented, and the prospect of them further improving will be daunting for those teams that lay ahead.
For Thorpdale, improvement is also needed, but it will need to be complemented by patience.
“The first quarter was a good response to our woeful effort last week, really taking it to a strong Boolara side,” Thorpdale coach Ray Pickering said. “But, unfortunately, as is the same most weeks, we couldn’t sustain it and by half-time the game was essentially over. We fought the second half out well, but Boolara were just too strong all over the park.”
This was a tale of two sides at very different stages of their development. What the Blues might be happy to hear is that, like Boolarra, their fortunes can change very quickly.

The pressure has been building on Hill End for more than a month and, if anything, only intensified on the weekend.
Sitting precariously in fifth position, the Rovers faced the proposition of falling out of the top six given they are being hotly pursued by two teams within a game.
The Demons made the journey to Willow Grove hoping to cause a headache for the home team, but the visitors never really got warm, Hill End winning 12.10-82 to MDU 3.6-24.
With Luke Mulqueen out, Hill End coach Mike Santo was ready for a challenge against an MDU side who defeated them earlier this season.
“We really jumped out of the blocks and controlled the play for most of the match,” Santo said. “Our tackle pressure and accountability is right where it needed to be and needs to stay over the next few weeks.”
MDU coach Peter Davies reflected his team’s tackle pressure was the lowest it had been all year.
“Hill End structured up really well behind the footy and comfortably won the clearances, which made it difficult for us all day,” Davies said.
Santo has his boys going as well as he can in what has been a season of frustrations caused by COVID, injury and the ire of all coaches, player availability.
However, if the Rovers can manage to get everything to click at the most crucial time in just a few weeks, there is no question they will be a force to be reckoned with.
Hill End have faced some adversity this year and one can be sure there will be more to come. However, they have managed to maintain ladder position, and will be ready to strike if the opportunity arises.

Confidence is key to performance and momentum is sometimes very hard to stop.
Toora, having reluctantly waited to round 13 to score their first win of the season, were tat home to an undermanned Fish Creek and a very real chance to make it two in a row. Although fighting to the end, they fell short 7.3-45 to Fish Creek’s 9.15-69.
“We always have a battle facing Toora on their home ground,” Fish Creek coach John Danckert said. “We felt like we held them off for most of the day. They challenged us in the last quarter and we responded.”
“It was a hard fought game all day, both teams played with aggression which excited the fans,” Toora coach Matthew Ponton said. “Our running and attack on the ball got the Toora fans excited as well. Jack Weston broke the lines four to five times and really turned the game in our favour. We brought it right to Fish Creek and had our chances, unfortunately a few late goals sealed our fate.”

The unusual layout of the fixture meant these two teams faced each other for the second time inside a month.
After Tarwin grabbed the points on the first occasion, Newborough were super motivated to make sure it was their turn this time around, winning 15.16-106 to Tarwin 11.9-75.
“With a draw that gave us a second crack at Tarwin, we had more to play for regarding ladder positions, and the first quarter showed that,” Newborough coach Craig Skinner said. “We hunted the ball as well as we have all year.”
“The second quarter was all Tarwin, as they denied us the ball and controlled the quarter. Josh Hecker and Mitchell Stanlake got their hands dirty in the third which gave our forwards more chances and Joel Mitchell converted those chances to goals.
“Wade Anderson’s game is going to a new level down back and would be one of the competition’s best attacking defenders.”
Tarwin coach Troy Hemming gave credit to Skinner and his team for a good solid effort and playing a good brand of footy.
“They used the ball really well, on the back of us not pressuring like usual,” Hemming said.
Hemming praised Harrison Cummings and Maxy Burton who came in and played their role, giving 100 per cent effort. It was Burton’s first senior game.
At this stage, these two sides are in prime position to meet again in a final that will provide the winner direct route to the grand final. But with four weeks of football remaining, there is still a lot of work to be done.

With just three points favouring the home side at the main break, it was game-on with the ramifications of a poor second-half huge for both sides. With so much to play for, it is hardly surprising those at the venue described the second-half as fantastic, hard-fought football. There was pivotal one-on-one match-ups across the ground. These ranged from the talls, like the battle between Yarram’s Dan Vardy and Woodside’s Ryan Foat in the ruck, to the smalls with Wildcat Jeremy Morgan going head-to-head with Demon Corbin Sutherland.
as they maintained possession and continual-ly found a loose player in more advantageous position. Lachlan Fenner and captain Hamish Nettleton were outstanding up forward kicking five goals each, the ever reliable Max Welsh bagged four, the smooth mover used in attack this week after being a great link player in defence in recent weeks. Onballer Max Herbert and Beau Lawrence chipped in with two each. Seal was delighted to find some extra avenues to goal. “It’s great to get five goals from a small hard working forward like Lachie Fenner, we have been working all season to get more than one or two key goal kickers,” Seal explained. Dylan Bolton played a lone hand up forward for the Cats, kicking five goals. Bayley Croucher, Ben Jones and company certainly not seeing as much quality ball for-ward of centre as they saw last week against Lucknow. Better players for the OSR were bigman Wes Russell, Nettleton, Gus Rogers, Fenner, backman Cody Robertson and Max Herbert. Matt Irish, Bolton, Rohan Blandford, Tom Van Den Linden and young Cooper Shaw tried hard for the Cats.
