Round 2 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 2

Round Two had it all... the early contenders flexed in some big wins, there was a one-point thriller in Bacchus Marsh and across the McDonald's Ballarat FNL clubs, players and fans honoured our ANZACs. 

  • Darley

    12.10.82

  • Def by

  • Bacchus Marsh

    12.11.83

The Cobras needed the last goal of the game to beat cross-town rival Darley to go 2-0 for the first time since 2016. Just single digits separated the two sides at every change as Bacchus Marsh led for the majority, before the Devils surged with back-to-back goals in the final term to lead by as much as 11 points with seven minutes remaining.

Cobras small forward, Tyler Huynh, became the unlikely hero snapping his match-winning fourth goal deep in time on to give Tom German's men the perfect start to the season. Cobra fans will be in for heart checks this week after nail biting two- and one-point wins in their opening two games.

Both coaches conceded the game could have gone either way and whoever was on the wrong side of the ledger would be left lamenting the how and why. Cobras Captain Jake Owen (3 goals) was again the star, the difference if you like. Huynh's four goals were a bonus and took the honours over the Devils’ small forward returns. Midfielders Nick Stuhldrier and Tom German worked hard all day for the winners in a real arm wrestle of sorts between the arcs.

For the Devils, new recruit Nick Rodda kicked five goals and will only get better in his adjustment from the VFL, while Andy Azzopardi (3 goals) provided some much-needed spark and run during some otherwise flat periods from the Back and White. Saturday's game marked the ninth consecutive Anzac Day (weekend) blockbuster between Darley and Bacchus Marsh and the second time a one-point margin has separated the two.

  • Sebastopol

  • Def

  • East Point

    12.13.85

The 'Burras have responded from their disappointing loss to Darley, disposing of Top Four fancy East Point to the tune of 28 points at Eastern Oval. Their 17-goal return was the highest of any across the competition in Round Two and serves a polite reminder to opposition sides: the 'Burras’ best is very good.

To complement the nature of the win even further, it was the only four-quarter win of any team in Round Two. A 19-point advantage at the first change became 24 at the half, 26 at the third before 28 at the final siren.

While the news of the James Frawley signing to East Point reverberated around BFNL clubs on Thursday night, the 'Burra welcomed back one of their favourites under the radar - the reigning Henderson Medallist, Lachie Cassidy, who was named best on ground in his return game from a hamstring complaint. Livewire forward James Keeble finished with four goals and Willy Lovett with three to lead a string of nine goal scorers for the winners despite the Kangas having ten of their own. Twenty-eight scoring shots to twenty-five gives every indication the match was fought evenly, especially after quarter time.

'Burras coach Mick Searle would be a relieved man squaring the win/loss ledger after Round Two and will take plenty of confidence from their recent wins over the 2018 and 2019 Premiers on Eastern Oval. Hugo Papst and Tony Lockyer also featured among the best while Kangas trio Jordy Johnson, Mitch Walsh and Joe Dodd were solid in defeat.

  • Melton South

    2.4.16

The Swans recorded an emphatic win over a youthful Panthers line-up whose wretched record in Ballarat continues. The visitors were kept goalless in the opening half, while the Swans went about their business to set up a dominant 63-point lead at the half before extending the difference at the final siren.

Midfielders Daniel Kennedy (3 goals) and Aiden Domic (3 goals) were the leading scorers among nine Swans players to hit the scoreboard. Andrew Hooper (2 goals), who booted seven goals in the corresponding fixture last year, left the ground in the second term with hamstring tightness, denying the sharpshooter his deja vu moment.

The Panthers, while disappointed with the result would be happy with the progress of youngsters Mitch Fino, Riley Theo, Rhys Lee and Cody Chapman, who are the future of the club. Dylan Conway split 50/50 game time mid/forward but was denied his usual impact given the sheer weight of the home side's possession. Swans defender Nick Weightman and ruckman Marcus Powling continued their run of good form to start the season.

  • Lake Wendouree

    7.5.47

  • Def by

  • North Ballarat

    17.6.108

A seven-goal to three opening quarter blitz from competition yardstick North Ballarat has set up a comfortable 61-point win at CE Brown Reserve. Jack Fitzpatrick's Lakers were unable to contain the North forward pressure despite the speculative memo/warnings heading in. Easier said than done.

Young guns James Quick (5), Thomas Hotchin (4), Jack Riding (3) and Sam Artz (1) combined for 13 of North Ballarat's 17 goals - mission complete. Fitzpatrick's former mentor Brendan McCartney, in charge of North Ballarat was 'chuffed' his boys were able to apply pressure and make it hard for Lake Wendouree to move the ball.

"We were strong in the contest, a lot more like how we want to play," he said. North Ballarat Captain Simon McCartin continues to lead this group of impressive young talent with near another best on ground performance.

There's no doubting the Lakers will learn a lot from the weekend and, despite scoreboard separation, can take solace in denying North Ballarat a blowout on their own terms in the last quarter. A 68-point margin at three-quarter time was reduced to 61 at the final siren to suggest that while there may be a gulf in the depth department (at this early stage), the Lakers are not short on character.

  • Sunbury

    10.9.69

The Bloods booted their highest score against the Lions in more than 15 years to win impressively by 39 points at MacPherson Park. The home side smashed the visitors on the scoreboard with a four-goal breeze in the opening term, booting 7.4 to 0.2 - game over!

Even if Lions Coach Travis Hodgson fancied a likely response in the second term, the 44-point deficit was always going to be a huge ask against genuine flag contenders on their home deck. If that wasn't a bridge too far, consider the Lions had managed more than five goals against the Bloods just twice from their last six meetings.

Bloods forward Ryan Carter (5 goals) proved a thorn in Sunbury's side all day to make it back-to-back bags for the #23. Mark Orr's return has been crucial following the exit of Ben Archard, while Lachie Watkins and Jordyn Cotter give opposition coaches another headache to overcome.

The similarities in the even nature of competition heavyweights Melton and North Ballarat are palpable. Their Round Six meeting on May 26 should be a belter.

For Sunbury, they're 0-2, and while they did get five players back for the Bloods game they still fell well short despite winning two quarters, the same as they did in their 28-point loss to North Ballarat in Round One.

Tyson Lever and Daniel Toman were among the Lions' best again and are likely to feature for the most part. North Ballarat (away), Melton (away) – no one had a tougher start than the Lions in '22. The draw opens up for them after their bye in Round Three... time to get cracking.

Round 3 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 3

How. Good. Was. It? So good! Round Three of the McDonald's Ballarat Senior Men's delivered some fascinating thrills and spills. Scoop reviews the weekend's action.

  • North Ballarat

    11.10.76

League improvers Ballarat have overhauled a 16-point deficit at half time to down legitimate flag contenders North Ballarat at Mars Stadium. It was nearly a carbon copy of the last time the two sides met in Round Four 2021 - but on that occasion, it was an inaccurate Swans who fell 2 points shy after trailing by 23 points at the half.

Full credit to Joe Carmody's, men who responded after half time kicking eight goals to three to raise an eyebrow across the wider competition, announcing their arrival. North Ballarat Coach Brendan McCartney was full of praise for the Swans in the aftermath, conceding they were, "outworked and outplayed."

The Swans keys, namely Nicholas Weightman, Aiden Domic, Marcus Powling and Daniel Kennedy continued their bright starts to the new season, while Keegan Mellington (3), Josh Gibson (2) and Tom Mooney (2) hit the scoreboard, filling the void in the absence of sharpshooter Andrew Hooper.

The 'North Four' Sam Artz (2), Jamie Quick (2), Jack Riding (2) and Thomas Hotchin (1) combined for seven of the Roosters' 11 goals, reaffirming their importance forward of centre, while Tom Bromley-Lynch and Clay Jenkins made solid contributions.

But all honours with the Swans. Carmody must be thrilled with his defence restricting their more fancied rivals on the whole to just three goals in the second half. The hierarchy of the other nine clubs could do a lot worse than eye off how the Swans got it done via the replay.

    14.10.94

Enigmatic Sebastopol were put to the sword by a spirited Redan to the tune of 45 points at Marty Busch Reserve. The 'Burra just can't get out of their own way at home over recent times losing six of their last eight games (inc. pre-season) since the club's completed renovations. I know it's purely coincidence, but you can't deny their concerns, particularly around consistency and injury.

On the other hand, Lions Coach Jarrett Giampaolo must be tickled pink with the response from his players following their season open loss to Lake Wendouree. Returning star midfielder Lachie George (5 goals) put on one of his all too familiar matchwinning performances to instigate a most impressive four quarter win, the only of its kind across Round Three. Newly incoming talls Jacob Werts and Nathan Dunstan were influential, while Declan Phillips looks on track for a solid season. Goal shark Isaac Grant (2 goals) made his usual scoreboard contribution, while the inclusion of Cooper Craig Peters and speedster Lachie Barnes only enhanced the Lions' chances.

Things went from bad to worse for the 'Burra when Lachie Cassidy and Jack Bambury went down. Only Chase Dummett, Bradley Veale and Benjamin Crone were named in the best players on a forgettable day for the Blue and Gold, especially when you consider the convincing nature of their win over East Point seven days prior. Hats off to Redan.

The 'Burra prepare for a Round Four crunch game with the Lakers as mounting doubt looms on the availability of Lachie Cassidy (hamstring), Jack Bambury (hamstring), James Keeble (hamstring), Riley O'Keefe (shoulder) and Jai Harvey (foot).

Redan host an in-form Ballarat Swans.

    14.14.98

Darley gave new coach Dan Jordan his second win in three games, downing Melton South on the road by 33 points.

A nine goals to two second-half gave the undermanned Devils the separation on the scoreboard they were longing for. Devils marquee recruits Brett Bewley (BOG) and Nick Rodda (8 goals) were the stars of the show,  reminiscent of their Williamstown days as the two combined out of midfield and inside 50 on repeat occasions. The Panthers would have been giving themselves a real chance heading in against a Devils line-up without Shane Page, Darren Leonard, the Cadman brothers and Blake Colley. 

An even first quarter became a slender five-point advantage to the home side at the half, suggesting this game may go down to the wire. But the Devils kicked better for goal and made more of their opportunities according to Panthers coach Heath Pritchard. Despite the loss, Pritchard was really happy with their effort and, "the brand of football that we played," conceding Bewley and Rodda were the obvious difference.

Jake Ancrum played his best game in '22 for the Devils while Luther Baker and youngsters Bailey Young and Will Johnson featured prominently.

For the Panthers, Devils nemesis Dylan Conway booted five goals and was the beneficiary of a big effort support crew, led by Jake Thornton-Gielen and Dylan Jones.

Both sides have tough road trips ahead in Round Four. The Panthers meet a 0-2 Sunbury on the hunt while the Devils face the undefeated Bloods for a genuine 'month in' footy audit.

East Point was the only home side to win across the five BFNL games played at the weekend. And the 2018-2019 Premiers did it comfortably over the Lakers, bouncing back after their season-opening loss to Sebastopol.

The Kangas set up the win with five unanswered goals in the first term before extending a 28 point advantage at the half, to 59 at the final siren. Coach Jake Bridges would be delighted with the response of his proud group as the Kangas went about their business, sharing the footy to finish with eleven goalkickers on the day.

Youngster Isaac Hucker booted three while the x-factor, Jordy Johnston (2 goals) was named best afield, ahead of five teammates whose name or surname begins with the letter 'J'!  So, it only befitting that 'JJ' got the nod. Coincidences aside, there was plenty of merit (no pun) to be drawn from the Kangas win who did it without Brad Whittaker (ankle) and James Frawley. The confidence-boosting win for the Kangas is timely, to say the least, as they prepare for a mouth-watering showdown with flag fancy North Ballarat, on the rebound at Mars Stadium.

New Lakers Coach Jack Fitzpatrick will draw on his wealth of knowledge, and assess the pluses and the minuses ahead of their Round Four meeting against an unpredictable Sebastopol. While back-to-back losses are not ideal for the Lakers, it's fair to say their conquerors go alright!

An old fashioned half-time spray from Bloods Coach Aaron Tymms had the desired effect as Melton 'did enough' to remain the only undefeated BFNL club, downing the Cobras by 28 points at Maddingley Park.

So, why the spray?

Put simply, Melton's use of the ball with the aid of a four-goal breeze in the opening term especially was poor and their revered 'system' a shadow of their own expectations. The Bloods found themselves on the back foot in the second term, leading by just two points (kicked only one goal) and were forced to quell the Cobras' inevitable momentum with the breeze. Despite trailing at half-time (11 points) and the damage minimised, the Bloods were starting to resemble a little more of their cohesive style.

Credit to the Cobras denying the Bloods the game on their own terms as Tom German's men were more direct by foot with the breeze, but couldn't get true bang for buck on their entries despite a half time advantage.

The Bloods hit the gas in the third term with seven unanswered goals with Ryan Carter (3) and Braeden Kight (2) the focal points. With Cobras playing coach Tom German potentially hamstrung on the sidelines, the Bloods midfield led by Jack Walker went to another level, despite the efforts of Daniel Burton, Harrison King and Nick Stuhldrier. New Cobra Rex Hickman (2 goals) was lively forward but the Bloods' sheer weight of evenness across their 22 players was significant.

Round 4 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 4

There was plenty to talk about as Round Four of the McDonald's Ballarat Senior Men's wrapped up. Scoop reviews the weekend's action.

  • Redan

    4.7.31

  • Def by

  • Ballarat

    4.13.37

For such a low scoring affair, it's hard to believe the Swans kicked the last two goals of the game after the 25-minute mark of the last quarter to claim a hard-fought win at City Oval.

The Lions left it all on the park, leading an inaccurate and goalless Swans at the main break by 15 points (3.3 v 0.6) but ultimately couldn't hold off their spirited opponents and the Swans’ overwhelming will to win. While there was a slight breeze to the Pleasant Street end, it was far from match-defining. The low scoring affair was, for the most part, reflective of the defensive grind, becoming a game destined to be decided by a handful of clutch moments.

According to Swans coach Joe Carmody, Redan deserved their lead at half time, having been on top around the contest. It wasn't until the second half that his boys could produce a swing in momentum and he named the big-bodied duo of Nick Swain and Josh Gibson as being instrumental in turning the fortunes of the match in favour of the Swans.

For Redan, Isaac Grant (2 goals) was the only multiple goal scorer on a cold day where majors came at a premium. Declan Phillips and Jacob Werts featured among the best players once again, but unfortunately for Jarrett Giampaolo's Lions the result is bound for the 'honourable loss' file. They will be happy with their effort but disappointed they couldn't find the line against a quality Ballarat side. The Lions will have another chance at home this week when they meet Bacchus Marsh in another even BFNL matchup. 

  • Lake Wendouree

    6.4.40

  • Def by

  • Sebastopol

    12.17.89

Backs to the wall Sebastopol proved too much for a young Lakers outfit to the tune of 48 points at the weekend. Despite missing eight of arguably the club’s twelve best players, the 'Burras did coach Michael Searl proud, who had every reason to be nervous heading in.

Chase Dummett (3 goals) and James Keeble (3 goals) were the standouts and made the slippery conditions look dry with their clean ball handling and execution. Searl lauded these two players, highlighting their two-way running in particular to match their returns on the scoreboard for levels of importance. 

Not to be outdone, the 'Burras defence was very solid maintaining their shape, creating turnover and conceding just nine scoring shots in the process (a Round 4 low across the competition).

The Lakers, without Scott Carlin, struggled for the most part but were well serviced by Lane Buckwell and experienced trio Nathan Pring, and Joel and Lachlan O'Connell. Jack Fitzpatrick's men will soak up the bye this week after their 1-3 start to the season, while Sebastopol's focus moves to North Ballarat with a clear aim to back up their Round Four efforts.

  • Sunbury

    6.9.45

  • Def by

  • Melton South

    9.12.66

Despite both sides looking for their first win heading in, the Panthers’ performance would have turned a few heads in BFNL circles to suggest this was a genuine upset. I know Melton South beat Sunbury at their previous meeting in 2021 by 23-points, but many thought a repeat outcome, this time on Clarke Oval would be too big of an ask.

Panthers coach Heath Pritchard said he "was rapt with the effort and our pressure with a lot of blokes out”. Lions Coach Travis Hodgson, while clearly disappointed with the loss, credibly gave the Panthers their dues. "They brought good pressure, were the better side on the day and deserved to win," he said.  

The Panthers led at every change despite a miserly 0.4 start kicking with the breeze. Scoreboard pressure would come later with the breeze in the third term where the Panthers added six goals to one to set up a match-winning 35-point lead at the final change. Youngster Jarrod Bibby was best for the winners, along with Dylan Jones and Cody Chapman, who continued their solid patch of good form. Leading forward Dylan Conway kicked two goals.

For Sunbury, James Cree, Harrison Minton-Connell and Pat Scanlon were recognised for their efforts in a losing side as Leigh Brennan (2 goals) and Blake Graham (2 goals) snagged multiple goals for the third time in as many games.

  • North Ballarat

    12.7.79

  • Def

  • East Point

    7.10.52

North Ballarat bounced back to the winner's list with a reassuring win over the Kangas at Mars Stadium. It promised to be a tantalising matchup, and, for the most part, didn't disappoint. VFL affiliates Sam Glover (4 goals) and Josh Chatfield returned for North Ballarat to bolster their stocks, while East Point was without marquee recruit Jackson Merrett after a late withdrawal.

According to Brendan McCartney, this was a seven-day response from his boys, saying they were better this week at the contest, defending and hunting the ball. North Ballarat was rewarded for their straight kicking for goal, leading by two points at the half 6.0 to 5.4 before extending in the third and fourth quarters adding 6.8 to the Kangas 2.6.

Sam Glover was the difference between the two sides, adding cream to the already daunting prospect that is North Ballarat. Experienced defender Ryan Hobbs was solid all day, while the Loader boys, Harry and Fletcher, had their best games for the season.

For the Kangas, Thomas Brown battled manfully in the ruck to keep his side in the game for three quarters to be named best in a losing side. Usual suspects Matty and Jordy Johnston, Joe Dodd and Mickitja Rotumah-Onus were never far from the action.

  • Melton

    11.14.80

  • Def

  • Darley

    7.8.50

A spirited Darley was no match for a more seasoned, undefeated Melton at Macpherson Park. The game from the outside reeked of a five-goal Bloods win - either side of that was always going to tell us more about the Devils' progress off a winless 2021.
The match itself, in trying conditions, was a hard watch for the footy purest. Conditions were blustery but made look calm on occasions by the Bloods, whose ball movement from defence to forward - particularly into the breeze - was a defining feature. The Bloods’ run and carry between the arcs was noted by both coaches post-match, with Devils coach Dan Jordan conceding "that's how we want to play."

In fairness to the Devils, the Bloods (2018 Grand Finalists) have been at it for four years, honing their craft, and their style and are one of the most respected teams in the comp. Jack Walker, Kyle Borg and Jacob Hickey had a heap of the footy and were instrumental in driving the Bloods’ repeatedly into attack. Their accountability with and without the ball is as good as any in the comp. Bloods forwards Ryan Carter (2 goals) and Liam Carter (1 goal) looked like they were going to tear the game apart and credit to the young Devils' defence that their influence was tempered.

Darley's loss was compounded by a first-quarter knee injury to Matthew Brett, who is likely to spend an extended period on the sidelines. Ball magnet Brett Bewley was Darley's best player.

Looking ahead, Darley faces Sunbury, while the Ballarat v Melton clash at Alfredton Oval looms as the headline act for Round 5.

Round 5 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 5

While an undefeated Melton goes from strength to strength at the top of the McDonald's Ballarat Senior Men's ladder, only percentage separates 2nd from 6th. Bacchus Marsh (6th), East Point (7th), Redan (8th), Lake Wendouree (9th) and Sunbury (11th) all have a game in hand having had the bye.

Round 5's highly anticipated top of the table clash between Melton and Ballarat ended in a fizzer as the Swans became the Bloods’ fifth victim - and Covid's first of the 2022 season - going down by 95 points.

Without taking anything away from Melton, the Swans' chances were reduced to slim at best after they were decimated at the selection table, losing up to 12 players due to health protocols (predominately), injury and unavailability. Just to name some of the missing Swans, consider getting the job done without Josh Gibson, Bailey Van Der Heuvel, Angus Bade, Daniel Kennedy, Andrew Hooper, Keegan Mellington, Will Garner and Marcus Powling.

According to Swans coach Joe Carmody, up to 10 of the absentees will be available for selection in next week's important trip to Eastern Oval.

In positive news, Melton continued on their merry way, undefeated on top of the McDonald’s Ballarat Senior Men’s ladder. Liam Carter (2 goals) was clearly best on ground, while Jack Walker, Braeden Kight (3 goals) and a returning Brett McIntyre were significant in what Bloods coach Aaron Tymms described as "a very professional effort with 22 contributors”. Leading goalkicker Ryan Carter finished with 4.4. Whilst undermanned, Carmody conceded, "Melton were very good and would be hard to beat anyway." Full respect.

Melton are at home this Saturday for a meeting with North Ballarat who will be on the rebound. Should be a cracker!

The Devils booted six unanswered goals midway through the second half to reel in a 20-point Lions lead and hang on in a thriller. The result was considered an eight-point game for these two sides, eyeing off a slim chance of creeping into the final six at the business end of the season.

While Darley pinched their third win under new Coach Dan Jordan, it's back to the drawing board for Travis Hodgson's Sunbury, who are languishing at 0-4 at the bottom of the table.

Devils’ midfielder Brett Bewley was in a class of his own and undeniably the most influential player on the ground. Chatting to Hodgson in the aftermath, he went on the record saying, "Bewley was the difference."

Sunbury had every reason to be confident heading in, buoyed by the inclusions of three VFL affiliated players in Cooper Anderson (Essendon), Jake Sutton (Essendon) and Mitch Lewis (Port Melbourne). Anderson (2 goals) threatened to take the game away from Darley with his vertical leap forward, but could only cling to a handful of marks from double-figure attempts. Sutton was the most dangerous forward on the ground but his high natured accumulation saw him too far from goal to impact the scoreboard. Lewis was handy on a wing first-up off a four-week hamstring.

For the winners, Shane Page was terrific and youngsters Mitch Ward and Ayden Tanner were important. Nick Rodda's task was made difficult with errant supply for the most part before finishing with two goals, including five shots on goal in the last quarter. Dylan Landt (Essendon VFL affiliate) had his first hit-out in Darley colours against his old club and was instrumental with 30-odd disposals, 95 per cent of them by foot.

  • Redan

    9.13.67

The Cobras set up a crucial 10-point win on the road against the Lions with a seven goals to two opening half. The 32-point advantage proved a bridge too far for Jarret Giampaolo's men who fell short for the second week in a row on their home deck.

Harry King was named best for the winners along with former Henderson Medalist Daniel Burton. Off-season arrivals Michael Culliver, Jack Williams and Rex Hickman are stringing together an important stretch of good form with each having an impact in all three of the Cobras’ wins in  2022. Jake Owen (2 goals) remains the number one assignment for opposition clubs to contain. The popular leader's contribution was significant in yet another tight finish. Cobras forward Aaron Willetts did not play.

While Redan midfield gun Lachie George (3 goals) was important, they clearly missed the drive and distribution of Cooper Craig-Peters. The Lions are clearly a different proposition with him in. The club, while wanting only the best for him, will sweat on the Footscray VFL affiliate's availability ahead of their clash with Darley, a Lions' third home game in a row.

Redan sharpshooter Isaac Grant was named among the better players despite a goalless return, while Cooper Atchison’s and Declan Phillips’ run of good form continues.

While the scoreboard tells a story of a Lions charge in the second half, the Cobras did themselves little favours with an inaccurate 2.8, but they had done enough when it counted to secure the Premiership points.

X-factor outfit East Point won the shoot-out at Melton Rec Reserve, downing Heath Pritchard's spirited Panthers by 39 points. The entertaining 37-goal game surpassed the rest of the round five matches (21, 19, 17, 10) comfortably, reminiscent of their 2021 clash that yielded 39 goals. But this edition did not resemble East Point’s one-sided 84 point win in ‘21  by any stretch, in fact, the underdog Panthers were in this game up to their necks but they just couldn't contain Kangas star forward Jordy Johnston, who finished with 8 match-winning goals.

According to Pritchard, the Panthers had their chances but their inability to generate scoreboard pressure despite ample opportunity deserted them. Costly turnovers would play a role too but that is to be expected with such a young group. To put the scoreboard pressure into perspective, the Panthers’ 6.11 to the Kangas' 9.5 first half validates Pritchard’s frustrations.

The Panthers kicked the opening two goals of the third term to draw level but missed a chance to ahead with a third opportunity. The talented Kangas were always going to have their fair share of momentum, their accurate 22 goal return and 33 scoring shots will attest to that.

Pritchard said Matty Johnston, Liam Canny and Thomas Brown provided his boys with the greatest headaches. In form Panthers’ quartet Shaun Wyatt, Dylan Jones, Cody Chapman and Jake Thornton-Gielen featured among the best once again while Pritchard praised the efforts of John Kovarik for his negating role on dangerous left foot midfielder Joe Dodd.

Kangas coach Jake Bridges will be happy banking the points that see them sitting at 2-2 with a game in hand on Melton (1st), North Ballarat (2nd), Ballarat (4th) and Darley (5th) above them.

The emphatic nature of the 'Burras 35-point upset win over the Roosters would have surprised a few, including some of their own at the weekend. Still missing arguably 6 or 7 of their best 12, the backs to the wall 'Burra kept the '21 Minor Premiers goalless for three quarters (0.9) to stun those who were watching what transpired. It was 36 to no score at quarter time - unbelievable!

Tony Lockyer was 'outstanding' for the winners while James Keeble's four goals in a game that yielded just 10, on the whole, were priceless. Chase Dummett and Ben Trew were important while 17-year old Tommy Mitchell 'showed plenty'.

According to Roosters coach Brendan McCartney, "Sebastopol were very good in all areas of the game," conceding that his boys "didn't play their best". According to Macca, with more work, "we will keep getting better."   

'Burras coach Michael Searl was obviously up and about on the back of his club’s first home win of the season. "It was a terrific performance from our entire group," he said. Searl was especially impressed with the nature of the win, the way his boys denied his more fancied rivals the game on their terms.

"We completely strangled their movement and forced them down the line," he said. "Our pressure was relentless."

Nobody could deny the 'Burra a reason to celebrate after an indifferent start to a year soured by injuries to key players. North Ballarat had a couple of outs their own. Two of the 'North Four' Thomas Hotchin and Jamie Quick missed, while VFL affiliates Sam Glover and Josh Chatfield were unavailable.

Sebastopol will savour the bye this week, while North Ballarat get another timely footy audit' against Melton ahead of their bye in round seven.

Round 6 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 6

The Bloods firm as flag favourites, Darley jumped into second on the ladder, the Panthers just hung on, East Point's season continues to build, and Sunbury claimed their first win for season 2022.

The Bloods (if they weren't already) will carry the 'flag favourites’ tag for the remainder of the 2022 season following their 68-point demolition job over North Ballarat. Dynamic forward duo Ryan Carter (5 goals) and Braedyn Kight (4 goals) proved an afternoon nightmare for the Roosters who were outscored sixteen goals to five after quarter time. In-form support crew Brett McIntyre and Blake Souter were again at the forefront in a game Bloods coach Aaron Tymms labelled a "great game to watch”. Both coaches agreed the relentless Bloods pressure was the difference.

Despite losing their third game in four weeks it wasn't all bad for the Roosters according to Coach Brendan McCartney. "We aren't playing our best footy, but we showed some glimpses today," he said.

The Roosters - recently considered a 'soldier out, soldier in' outfit - appear shaky, and look far from the daunting prospect of 2021 without Josh Chatfield (Footscray VFL), Thomas Hotchin (ACL), Elliott Lamb (foot) and Jack Riding (general soreness). While Maccas boys are perceived to be an even bunch that bat deep, clearly the absence of a select few has been significant.

The efforts of Brock Leonard and Tom Bromley-Lynch were recognised in defeat, but this day simply belonged to the Bloods. The frightening reality for the rest of the competition is the Bloods are expected to improve in the second half of the season. Hard to beat.

Melton South hung on to beat a fast-finishing Bacchus Marsh in a thriller at Maddingley Park. The Panthers led by 29 points at the final change before the Cobras kicked the last five goals of the game. Scoreboard aside, given the nature of what transpired, a Cobras win would have been daylight robbery.

The Panthers by and large deserved the points and exposed the Cobras with their dare, spread and leg speed to lead at every change, despite the absence of star forward Dylan Conway (illness). Will Thornton-Gielen (5 goals) assumed the responsibility hitting the scoreboard in the absence of Conway and was the beneficiary of impressive contributions from Shaun Wyatt, Jake Thornton-Gielen, Cody Chapman, Mitch Fino and Billy Lloyd. Brody Sullivan's two first-half goals were quality amid periods of an old-fashioned scrap.

The Panthers are to be commended for taking on the game, denying the Cobras the game on their own terms despite the ongoing presence of dangerous trio Jake Owen (3 goals), Rex Hickman (4 goals) and Daniel Burton.

It's ironic, that four of the last five Panthers wins (over the last two seasons) have been against Sunbury (twice) and Bacchus Marsh (twice). Getting it done further west remains the Panthers' Achilles heel (0-15) since 2018. The Cobras face back-to-back highway trips to East Point and North Ballarat. Interesting...

  • Ballarat

Jake Bridges' East Point are warming into their season nicely with a 32-point win over Ballarat at the weekend. The Kangas won 3.5 quarters and were never really threatened following a 10-goals to six first half and handy 22-point lead. Jordy Johnston (6 goals) and Bryce MacDougall (4 goals) did the offensive damage and proved the difference in the end. Coalface Kangas Matty Johnston and Mickitja Rotumah-Onus won the midfield field battle providing weight of supply forward, aiding the Kangas to a third score over 100 points in their last four games. For the record, JJ has booted 16 goals for the period.

Coach Jake Bridges was fully aware of his cliche response in the aftermath but thought they were the right words to best sum up the performance. "It was a great team effort," he said.

For Joe Carmody's Swans, buoyed by the return of livewire forward Andrew Hooper (4 goals) conceded they were, "outplayed in the contest, especially at the stoppage.” According to Carmody, "East's midfielders were totally dominant.”

Improving Swans youngster Will Liston and newcomer Aiden Domic along with Hooper gave their all but the Kangas were simply too strong. Expect the Swans to rally next week, second up after illness and injury that decimated the side ahead of their 95-point round five loss to Melton. Will be better for the run.

Surprise packets Darley won their third 'away' game in four attempts under new Coach Dan Jordan to move into second place on the BFNL ladder. The Devils humbled a disappointing Lions outfit who proved their own worst enemy yet again with poor shooting for goal and turnovers in general play.

Despite a 19-point advantage at the half, Jordan conceded his young Devils could easily have been three or four goals down if not for inaccuracy on the part of the Lions.

Jordan said the Lions were pretty good for the most part and was proud of the overall effort of his boys.

"I could easily have found room for 13 or 14 players in our best," he said. "But we still have a lot to learn and face another tough game against Ballarat this week."

While marquee Devils forward Nick Rodda (5 goals) was prominent, the light shone more on the progress of a few youngsters, namely Brady Wright (4 goals), Andy Azzopardi (best) and 16-year-old debutant Mitch Gardiner (2 goals) who might just have kicked the club’s goal of the year. Luther Baker was the Devils’ best mid, while captain Brett Bewley was selfless under a heavy tag.

Redan coach Jarrett Giampaolo's disappointment was palpable in the aftermath. "Another frustrating game - we're unable to maintain consistency in games at the moment," he said.  

Isaac Grant, Jacob Short and Declan Phillips headed the Lions list of best players.

There were contrasting emotions in both camps following Sunbury's 41-point win over Lake Wendouree at Clarke Oval. A relieved Lions coach Travis Hodgson complimented the efforts of his midfield group and his rebounding defence, denying key Lakers forward, Box Hill affiliate and leading VFL goalkicker Fergus Greene (3 goals) maximum impact.

"It was good to build on last week’s solid performance," Hodgson said. "Our focus is to continue to improve from week to week."

On the flipside, Lakers coach Jack Fitzpatrick didn't hold back with his damningly honest appraisal of his club’s performance.

"If we continue to not compete for four quarters we will continue to get beaten by bigger margins," he said. According to Fitzpatrick, the Lakers did not take advantage of the inclusion of Greene who is a star at VFL level.

"Fergus was good off limited supply," he said. "Clearly a class above and it's a shame we couldn't utilise him more."

Sunbury surpassed their previous high score of 2022 (68) comfortably with 30 shots on goal to bring up the tonne.

Harry Minton-Connell, Corey Mobilio (3 goals), Tom Werner and Haydn Ross were named best for the winners while Bayley Thompson, Thomas Hunt and Rory O'Keefe could keep their heads up for their contribution in loss. The game was all over at quarter-time - Sunbury led 50-15. Night, night.

Round 7 Review

Scoop' Reviews Round 7

The trend of winning away from home continued at the weekend, with another four wins for the away teams. Of the 35 games completed so far 20 have been won by the away team.

For the three seasons prior to 2022, hitting the highway to play came with an average of one win from every four games. In 2022, that ratio has switched dramatically to 10 wins from 14 highway matches for the away teams.

Projected to be improvers this year, Sunbury’s season is on a knife's edge after a 13-point home loss to Redan on Saturday.

Despite leading at every change, Sunbury was unable to hold off the visitors who overcame a 14-point deficit at three-quarter time by adding five goals to one in a barnstorming finish.

The Atchison boys shared ground honours, while underrated wingman Pat Fitzgibbon thrived on the big ground that is Clarke Oval.

Sunbury coach Travis Hodgson conceded it was a game of missed opportunity from his group.

"We played reasonably well and mostly controlled it for two and a half quarters, had numerous chances to kick away halfway through the third and didn't take them," he said.

Harry Power, Haydn Ross and Jayden Eales were acknowledged for their efforts in a losing side that simply came up short.

"Redan clearly outplayed us in the last quarter," Hodgson said.

The nature of the come from behind win for the visitors will be a major confidence booster for the group, according to Redan coach Jarrett Giampaolo 

"I'm absolutely stoked for the boys after a great fightback in the second half," he said.

"(We) showed plenty of character, never gave in and deserved the win for the effort they put in."

Two road trip challenges await these clubs in round eight and neither will be easy by any stretch. Sunbury head to Sebastopol to take on the Burras who have won three in a row, while Redan meets an improving Melton South.

The Swans got it done on the road, bringing their best when it mattered most to hold off an inaccurate Devils by 18 points. The win was thoroughly deserved and a just reward for the Swans’ superior work rate and ability to outnumber the Devils at the contest, especially in defence. Devils key forward Nick Rodda (3.7) often had two or three to beat in the air yet somehow the Swans were able to win the ball at ground level.

Swans mid Aiden Domic was damaging with his outside run, Nick Weightman was influential with his drive off half-back and captain Sam James was important with his work around stoppage. Coach Joe Carmody praised his boys post-match and welcomed the return to the winners’ list.

"Our ball movement was very good, and our pressure and tackling were at a high standard," he said. 

For the Devils, Duncan Cadman and Shane Page battled like warriors, while Brett Bewley, despite much attention, is clearly a class above. Coach Dan Jordan is not one to explore the could’ve, would’ve, should’ve despite a run of eight consecutive behinds from midway through the second quarter until late in the third.

"Sure, we didn't take our chances, but there's plenty more we'll learn from the game," he said.

"We're a young group, seven rounds in and tracking in the right direction."

While the round eight bye is timely for the Devils, their next hit out isn't until June 18, when they embark on a road trip to East Point. The challenge for the returning young list will be to hit the ground running given the club has won just one first quarter in 2022.

The Kangas stormed back into second place on the BFNL ladder with a convincing 47-point win over the Cobras at Eastern Oval. The (still) reigning back-to-back Premiers put the game to bed early, opening up a 27-point lead at the first change.

Jordy Johnston (5 goals) was the star of the show yet again, taking his tally to 21 goals from his last five games, while marquee recruit Jackson Merrett was named best afield. Midfielders Mickitja Rotumah-Onus and Joe Dodd won more than their fair share of the ball through the midfield to aid the supply to Johnston, Bryce McDougall (2 goals) and impressive young talent Jack Jeffrey (2 goals).

Kangas coach Jake Bridges said it was, “a four-quarter effort with plenty of evidence around our trademarks and opportunities for growth."

Cobras forward Aaron Willetts (4 goals) returned from a hip complaint, confirming his importance to the lineup to be named among the best with newcomer Sam Crea and defender Simon LaFranchi. Dangerous forward Jake Owen finished with two goals and continued with his terrific run of consistency.

Coach Tom German conceded his boys were made to work hard for their goals while a skilful East Point took their opportunities. The Cobras sit just outside the top six on percentage and face North Ballarat at Mars Stadium on Saturday. Good luck.

    18.11.119

Sebastopol kicked the last five goals of the game to secure the points against a spirited Melton South at the weekend.

Star utility and Burra captain Tony Lockyer (3 goals) were the catalysts behind the tough win after the visitors were ahead in the last quarter.

Panthers coach Heath Pritchard was full of praise for Lockyer in the aftermath.

"Tony was the best on ground by the length of the straight, simply outstanding," he said.

Pritchard went on to express the pride in his own group who again were crippled with illness to key players including their general and captain, Shaun Wyatt. While the Panthers struggled to get their best 22 on the park, Pritchard made no excuses, remaining positive on the trajectory of the club’s improvement over the last month.

"We are getting better every week and believe in what we're doing," he said. "More wins are around the corner."

Burras’ coach Michael Searle was clearly relieved with the win after an almighty scare.

"We knew it was a danger game for us," he said. "They applied good pressure and took risks that we struggled to defend against."

While Michael Powell (5 goals), Jed Hill (4 goals) and Bailey Veale (2 goals) featured prominently for the winners there was no disputing the most influential player on the ground.

"Thank goodness for Tony Lockyer," Searle said.

The Panthers showed plenty of dash to reel in a 34-point halftime deficit before their run ended. Dylan Jones, Cody Chapman, Jacob Thornton-Gielen maintained their recent good form while Dylan Conway booted four goals in his return.

Undefeated Melton showed no signs of mercy at the weekend cruising in a systematic fashion to an 81-point win over Lake Wendouree.

The Bloods booted five goals in every quarter, refusing to take their foot off the gas.

Progressive half-forward Luke Heaney (5 goals), along with Liam Carter (4 goals) took the honours on the scoreboard while regular duo Ryan Carter and Braeden Kight took a back seat settling three goals each of their own.

Bloods midfielder Jaycob Hickey is starting to give teammate Jack Walker a run for club Best and Fairest with another best on ground performance ahead of those who did the damage in front of goal. Kyle Borg, Lachie Watkins and Lachlan Walker shared good numbers of their own to feature in yet another four-quarter Bloods blitz.

Lakers coach Jack Fitzpatrick found some positives in his young group’s performance but was under no illusions about the difference between the two sides.

"The scoreboard might not reflect it, but the competitiveness was far better than last week," he said.

"That said, we got a lesson in using the footy - schoolboy errors hurt us, but to Melton's credit their ball use was exceptional."

Another tough assignment awaits the Lakers this week when they face Ballarat at Alfredton Oval. Melton's week culminates with a top of the table clash at home with East Point. We look forward to that one!
