Darley vs Redan - MATCH PREVIEW
SATURDAY MAY 11TH - 2.15PM @ DARLEY PARK
- BFNL MATCH OF THE ROUND LIVE WITH FULL COMMENTARY 2PM VIA BFNL MATCH CENTRE -
Last time they met - Darley 79 def. by Redan 97 (Darley Park, Round 10 2023)
The underdog tag won't phase Gary Learmonth's Redan given their recent record over the reigning premiers. And nor will the venue!
For the record the Lions have won four of the last five meetings between the two sides, three of those as underdogs and on three occasions at Darley Park.
The youthful Redan lineup set with the tough assignment will include as many as 10 players still eligible for the Under 19's. Rest assured they're not coming for the experience, rather every intention of winning.
Unfortunately for the Lions I can't see the result ending in anything but an experience. Since the Devils’ upset loss at the hands of Redan (Round 10, 2023),
Dan Jordan's men have gone 10-0 at home with an average winning margin of 62 points! Take the Melton South thrashing (212pts) out and you're still left with a 45+ points advantage.
The Devils are still hitting their straps, striving for the best version of themselves for four quarters.
Jordan is a coach always looking forward but I'm sure the anomalies of recent head-to-head results v Redan has not left the memory bank.
Expect the Devils to be on their mettle, a mission of their own to an extent, putting this game to bed early against a predominantly young group craving for any momentum or sniff of a repeat upset.
PLAYER WATCH
Leigh Spiteri (Darley)
In form small forward dangerous around goal, four & three majors last two weeks.
Riley Collins (Redan)
Sandringham Dragons rep - clean small forward who has impressed in opening few games. Had 15 disposals last week v Sebastopol, 10 contested.
