    Melton vs East Point - MATCH PREVIEW

    QUALIFYING FINAL - SATURDAY AUGUST 31ST - 2.15PM @ DARLEY PARK

    - BFNL MATCH OF THE ROUND LIVE VISION WITH FULL COMMENTARY 2PM VIA BFNL MATCH CENTRE -

    Last time they met - Melton 78 def. by East Point 83 (MacPherson Park, Round 6 2024)

    We've waited 105 days for this rematch, and it comes in the form of a mouthwatering qualifying final - can't wait!

    Round 6 is a far cry from the hustle, bustle and pressure of a final but in fairness, May 18th went pretty close!

    What an outstanding home and away season for these two, losing just three games between them.

    The Kangas could find themselves a little stiff not to finish top with just the two losses but that is the current landscape when the Bloods are involved.

    Despite finishing second, the Kangas have plenty of upside heading into this bout having beaten the Bloods the last two times including a semi final win last year.

    While both of those wins came away from Eastern Oval, Darley Park looms as an undeniable variable for mine to overcome.

    East Point have not won at Darley Park for 10 years, that worries me.

    If this game were in Ballarat, I would be tipping the Kangas but something tells me the ground and conditions will suit Troy Scoble's planning - he knows the ground so well.

    Call it due diligence ahead of time but I guarantee you - observations duly noted.

    Even Joe Carmody, a longtime player in the BFNL could barely recall any success at the venue!

    But if there was ever a group to break the run of outs for the Kangas at Darley Park, it's this one against the Bloods.

    Melton are gettable - the Kangas’ best is arguably better. But can they produce in the white shorts against the season benchmark.

    The Bloods, it seems, have been waiting for this day for a while now and I’m not talking weeks, rather 11 months for another crack at a flag that has previously gone awry.

    At least Scoble conceded they weren't the best team in it last year, but something tells me that opinion has changed.

    The buy-in from the Bloods group is palpable. While they gave every indication last week, they're gettable, so did East Point! Kudos to Ballarat.

    Holistically, every bit of blood, sweat and tears shed to this point equate to an unmissable qualifying final, spruik as one for the ages.

    As part of the editorial, I’m required to make a choice. I'm leaning to the Bloods but would not be surprised if the Kangas produced the goods following a timely reminder of their mortality last week.

    PLAYER WATCH

    Defenders
    Melton: Adrian Monitto (#45), Riley Walker (#29) and Lachie Phillips (#9) are the genesis in transition for the Bloods. Monitto and Walker especially provide the spread, run, carry and distribution in the absence of Jordy Cotter (#4) and will stretch the ground, making it uncomfortable for the Kangas.

    East Point: Jackson Merrett (#1) and Jacob Brown (#4) are the experience and cornerstone of the Kangas’ defence. Merrett ranks fourth for in the comp uncontested marks, fifth for marks and sixth for effective kicks and tenth for kicks. Merrett is the go-to distributor. Brown, not dissimilar to Merrett ranks third in the comp for effective kicks, fourteenth for kicks, fourth for marks AND intercept marks. What is also worthy of note is Brown ranks twenty-second in the comp for handball receives.  

    Midfielders
    Melton: Jaycob Hickey (#10) averages 27.6 disposals, ranks 9 in the comp for clearances and 11th for goal involvements while (#11) Jack Walker averages 26.6 disposals, ranks 8 for goal assists and 13th for centre clearances.

    East Point: Matty Johnston (#7) ranks third in the comp for disposals (34.1) and contested possessions. Johnston also features in the top 10 for a host of other KPIs and ranks elite in all areas when the Kangas have possession of the ball. Mikitja Rottumah-Onus (#2) ranks among the top 25 in the comp for clearances, contested possessions, handballs, hard ball gets, ground ball gets, goal assists and involvements. 

    Forwards
    Melton: Braedan Kight (#7) is the league’s leading goalkicker with 75. Ryan Carter (#23) is fifth on the goalkicking table with 41.

    East Point: Bryson McDougall (#12) is second in the league for goals with 67. McDougall has taken more marks inside 50 than other player in the BFNL and ranks second for total contested marks. Strahan Robinson (#30) has 31 goals, ranks elite for contested marks and marks inside 50 (10th).

    Ballarat vs Sunbury - MATCH PREVIEW

    ELIMINATION FINAL 1 - SATURDAY AUGUST 31ST - 2.15PM @ MARTY BUSCH RECREATION RESERVE

     

    Last time they met - Ballarat 71 def. Sunbury 49 (Alfredton Oval, Round 11 2024)

     

    Haven't the Swans raised a few eyebrows in the back half of the season, unbeaten since round 10 including a win over Sunbury!

    A fourth placed finish for the Swans would have surprised even the most loyal of supporter with Melton, East Point and Darley the only teams finishing above them.

    For the record Ballarat has played 7 games this year against top six opposition for two wins and a draw, averaging 54 points FOR and 90 points AGAINST with a poor percentage of 60.

    Those numbers amount to very little in the here and now following a breakout win over East Point.

    Let's just hope the emotional toll of last week’s feat doesn't drain the life out of this young group who find themselves without no ceiling on the 'possible'.

    The competition did look up and take notice, you can take that to the bank.

    In fact, none more so than Lions’ coach Matty White who said on ‘The Presser’ a month ago he was “happy not to be playing the Swans again,”.

    Footy can be an unpredictable vehicle for planning.

    Here we are week one of the finals and Sunbury find themselves up the highway for a rendezvous eliminator against the plucky Swans.

    Sunbury have lost their last six games against top six opposition and will be challenged again in Ballarat albeit at Sebastopol.

    Injuries I’m sure have derailed Matty White's season that started so promisingly.

    The loss of key backs in the latter stages and the recent hamstring injury to midfielder Jake Egan hasn't made the assignment any easier.

    For Ballarat aren't the same side they were 10 weeks ago.

    Chris Maple's group are a bona fide threat to any oppo.

    The group are healthy, in form and bat deep.

    Tristan Maple, Lachie Dalgleish, Harry Butler, Will Liston, the Rinaldi brothers and Rhys Perry have all gone to another level impacting BFNL games while the staple core of Angus Bade, Marcus Powling and Andrew Hooper present their own set of challenges.

    Apologies to the more than capable remainder.

    While Sunbury are in with a real chance to progress, momentum for me is with the Swans. 

     

    PLAYER WATCH

     has proven to be solid key defender who ranks elite for intercept marks, contested marks, spoils and 1%ers while the experienced rebound and distribution of will be crucial for the Swans. Dalgleish averages 18 kicks from his 22 disposals @74% efficiency. Also ranks elite for marks, intercept marks and possessions, rebound 50s and spoils.

    Sunbury: Tyson Lever (#4)

    is a two-time club best and fairest winner who ranks elite for disposals (23.2), contested possessions (10.8), clearances (7.1) and Tackles (6.9 - comp rank #10). shares his time between half back/mid and knows how to find the footy averaging 29.2 disposals @76% (comp rank #9) A predominant 'kick' (20/29) sees him an integral part of the Swans’ work between the arcs. Maple is also among the elite rankings for intercept possessions, intercept marks and rebound 50s. The Footscray VFL listed product ranks third in the comp for handball receives and fifth for effective kicks.

    Midfielders
    Ballarat: Will Liston (#2) Tristan Maple (#7) 

    ranks elite in all categories with the ball - disposals 33.1 @76% efficiency (comp rank #3), clearances (7.4), Inside 50s (4), Marks (5.9), Goal and score involvements (4.4, 7.3). Guthrie ranks 1 in the comp for handballs (17.4) and 6 for ground ball gets 11.2.

    Sunbury: Josh Guthrie (#5) 

    is the dangerous small forward with 23 goals from 14 games. has played 7 games this year for the Swans including six wins and a draw. The athletic key forward ranks elite for goal involvements (5.1) and score involvements (7.9) as well as contested marks and ranks 14th for goals (2.3)

    Forwards
    Ballarat: Andrew Hooper (#4) Harry Butler (#25)

    Sunbury vs East Point - MATCH PREVIEW

     

    SATURDAY AUGUST 17TH - 2.15PM @ CLARKE OVAL

     

    - BFNL MATCH OF THE ROUND LIVE WITH FULL COMMENTARY 2PM VIA BFNL MATCH CENTRE -

    Last time they met - East Point 102 def. Sunbury 82 (Eastern Oval, Round 8 2024)

     

    The Lions’ top three chances hang in the balance ahead of a must win game against a red-hot East Point outfit at Clarke Oval.

    While there was little between them on the scoreboard at their previous meet, the Lions did kick the last three goals of the game to flatter the final margin.

    But credit to Sunbury, that's the closest any team has been at Eastern Oval all year.

    Sure, Clarke Oval flips the advantage ahead of their Round 17 clash but Sunbury will need to address a few things if they're to end the Kangas’ 13-game winning streak.

    Fact: Sunbury have won just two (Melton South and Sebastopol) of their last eight 'first' quarters and rank #11 for average clearances per game.

    I know clearances aren't everything and are considered an overrated stat by a few experts, but 11th - really?

    The return of Jake Egan will add some bite around stoppage as they go head-to-head against the competition's number #2 ranked team in this area.

    As for the Lions’ starts, call it coincidence if you like but their three win, five loss games record for the period aligns more with a browse, raising pattern for concern.

    Joe Carmody's visiting party arrive with four of the BFNL's top 16 goalkickers and five of the top 25.

    Sunbury has just two in the top 40, albeit two of the top five.

    The dependance on Lions’ pair Jake Sutton and Mitch McLean to kick a winning score has not waned given the two are responsible for 95 of the team’s 202 goals for the season (47%).

    A successful assignment for the Lions will be judged on their ability to multitask in the run.

    'Maintaining' and 'containing' will be the order of the day for Matty White's men - a potential third place finish depends on it.

    Nothing really needs to change for the high-flying Kangas bar a correction on their disaster 80-point loss here in Round 11 last year (109-29).
