MATCH REVIEW

Yallourn-Yallourn bagged top position after their percentage booster over Boolarra, the Bombers picked up an extra 72.31% in their 141 point win, while Mirboo North lost 89.11% after scraping in from Morwell East by nine points. The Bombers led by their energetic coach Barrie Burnett who stepped out for his 300th game were all poised for action on a perfect day for football. They bombarded from the start giving Boolarra little avenue to be competitive. A 7-1 to 0-1 first term suggested that YYN would be in for a monster score. Boolarra were competitive enough but not strong enough to halt YYN’s avenue to goal, but they did defend well to restrict YYN to only four goals for the second term.  Players such as Keenan Hughes and Dean McDonald were always going to be a danger to Boolarra and in perfect conditions the pair racked up eight goals. Five goals to one in the third snuffed out any resistance that Boolarra were mounting and the Dees were scoreless in this term The Bombers knowing that the game was well and truly won started to lose concentration and sprayed what could have been potential goals. Set shots were missed and of the 13 shots at goal in the final term they managed only 4-7 with two out on the full. YYN finished with 23-16 to Boolarra 2-1. Keenan Hughes finished with five and Dean McDonald and Dylan Bath three each while nine others scored majors. Dylan Bath, Luke Webber, Mitch Luck and James De Vergilio were best while Boolarra set for Reece Smee, Tom Reiske, Sam Mazou and Bryce Baschera for their awards.

MATCH REVIEW

Hill End broke a 12 game losing streak after taking down Yinnar by 35 points, the previous win to the Hillmen was in 2012 but since then Yinnar have kicked Hill End from pillar to post but Saturday the revenge was sure and swift. Hill End are known to be inaccurate and again they wasted opportunities to raise a bigger score, 2-6 was probably one of their best opening terms of the year but imagine if they had kicked straight, they could have been many goals up in the first term. Yinnar too, were wasteful and only scored 1-3. Chase Saunders was alive around the goals and his eventual five goal haul would instil confidence back into the team. Yinnar had a flutter in the third and reduced the margin to only three points at three-quarter time. Unfortunately for Yinnar, Hill End came out to play in the last quarter and scored 5-6 to 0-4 to wrap up the match for the first time since 2012, winning 11-20 to 6-15. Aaron Fawcett, Bayley Paul and Dylan Brooks were outstanding for Hill End while Yinnar’s premier players were Brendan Chapman, Kane Grinstead-Jones and Nathan Rowley.

MATCH REVIEW

After the lead changed 10 times and three in the last quarter Mirboo North overcame a tenacious Morwell East side in a tough no holds barred pressure game of football to snatch a win in the last few minutes.  Goals were scarce with only one each in the first quarter. The match resembled rugby as players tried to charge through the packs with the ball, tackles were hard and physical. By the half way mark Morwell East went into the sheds one point up in a low scoring half. The two giants Andrew Brown and Justin Fulton each in the same weight division had a great dual in the ruck with the results fairly even but it was Fulton who provided the spark near the finish when he was shifted to full forward and marked twice, had one free, gave one away and importantly gave the handball to Brett Palmer for the winning goal. Rob Michaelides and Adrian Fazioli had given Morwell East every chance and Shaun Barnes was a focal up forward. Morwell East defenders worked hard to try and stop the Tigers with youngsters Ryan Carlson and Dylan Field getting into the action. Mirboo North’s former chief Clancy Bennett and defender Tristan Salerno along with Jacob Nash and ruck mountain Justin Fulton were best. The Tigers had a picket fence with six goal kickers. Brendan Evans was superb for the East and reliable Frankie Marks with Jarryd Pickett and Brandon Francis also collecting trophies for their great efforts.

MATCH REVIEW

Thorpdale came within a whisker of pulling off a win over Newborough in the battle for the bottom. Twenty-seven goals were kicked in the high scoring match. Having lost the last four against Thorpdale, Newborough were out to break the drought and they did by only nine points. A critical match of the round tag was on this game with Newborough going in stronger and looking for their second win. The Dogs led all day but Thorpdale were not far behind making Newborough work hard for control. The eventual margin was nine points but it could have been closer had a couple of shots been straighter.  For both teams it was the highest score by each this season. Score: Newborough 14-12 d Thorpdale 13-9. Joel Mitchell scored five for the Dogs and Ryan Louth four to be amongst their best along with Wade Anderson and Liam Carolan. Matt Powell almost stole the show with six for Thorpdale with Shannon Pickering, Jake Atkinson, Dean Spanos and Matt Powell being amongst the best.
