Club Notes
Lake Wendouree vs East Point - MATCH PREVIEW
SATURDAY MAY 11TH - 2.15PM @ C.E BROWN RESERVE
Last time they met – Lake Wendouree 23 def. by East Point 145 (CE Brown Reserve, Round 17 2023)
East Point (2-1) travel across town for a meeting with the Lakers (0-4) ahead of their Round 6 'ultimate challenge' on the road against Melton (3-0).
Kangas’ coach Joe Carmody will look to consolidate further on the good habits of the previous two weeks with another big win over the struggling Lakers.
Just how the hosts contain the Johnston brothers, season return pair Mikitja Rottumah-Onus and Jacob Brown and dangerous forward Strahan Robinson and Bryson McDougall looms a four-quarter struggle.
I can see the Lakers matching it with East for two quarters on the whole, take your pick which ones.
Tipping the final margin on the scoreboard will be reflective of the two quarters East Point were able to 'getaway'.
Lakers’ coach Rohan Brown has remained positive throughout despite the four losses and will be looking for a response from his young team that can equate to a few 'mini-wins' in game, against a more fancied visiting party.
Unfortunately, we haven't seen much of Lakers exciting new recruit Jayden Wright (ankle - Round 1) but the progress of tall duo Tom Zampatti and Felix Fogarty will again be on display as the hosts aim to spoil the party for the East Point Kangaroos.
