Dan Jordan is killing teams and with east points on ballers i think east have the right mix to give the flag a shake this yr. just wondering if anyone had watched Matt Dwyer over the last few weeks. he had 43 touches against Sebas and found alot of it against sunbury. clearly is one of the best players going around the BFL never fumbles and uses the pill well most times. Also look for brendan peace to start finding some form

rumour has it that dwyers new girlfriend has been a calming influence on him and if he sticks with her his best football is just around the corner, who would have thought that this kid could get any better... also look out for Gault "The G-Train" Mcluggage in the next few weeks

Ryan Harris and Ash Baker from Ballarat have to be 2 very underrated players in the BFL. Rhino Harris went 4 straight weeks with 40+ touches and Bakes just always gets 30+ and this year he's kicking goals aswell. Swooper has everyone up there playing for eachother and this hasn't happened for a few years.

couldn't agree more mate. Harrow is pure class and in a betetr side this yr is showing what he can do. In brisbane last yr at uni games Harrow killed it playingon VFL players and shows he can match it with the best.

Nunny is out injured this week which is a shame up against East. He kicked 5 goals in the last quarter against Sunbury the other week. He;s about 3rd in the league goal kicking. Batters has been struggling with injury but is a fairly consistent performer.

The great Birdman - did you get an autograph - it is tougher than getting Leigh Matthews.
Did Power know you have been potting him on this web site?
Any word on Mayday?
Accuracy gives Bloods points

Melton maintained its grip on second spot on the Ballarat Football League ladder with a fighting 28-point win over Redan at MacPherson Park.
The Bloods held the lead for the entire match, but only managed to kick away from the inaccurate Porter Plant Lions in the final term.
Redan missed many gettable shots for goal in the 11.20 (86) to 18.6 (114) loss.
The Lions, kicking against a three-goal breeze in the first term, looked more dangerous as they restricted the Bloods to only four points.
Redan captain Jayden Reid was in top form inside forward 50, but he sprayed his shots.
Reid was well held for the remainder of the game and was forced further up the ground to find possessions.
One thing that Melton does well at MacPherson Park, making it difficult to beat, is its ability to control the game kicking against the wind.
Redan’s forwards had few open chances with little room to make solid leads.
The forward line struggled all game as only small Derik Micallef was lively for the four quarters.
Ash Barker kicked two goals, but he was well beaten, just as coach Kieran Murrihy and Steven Nicholson were.
At the other end of the ground, Melton kept an open forward line.
Dane Grenfell kicked six goals as he was given ample space in which to lead.
Andrew Strachan bobbed up at the right moments to kick four.
Brendan Porter was also dangerous in a floating role, kicking four goals.
With the match in the balance at three-quarter time, Melton took control in the final term with six goals.
The key difference between the two teams was the evenness of the teams across the field.
Melton had solid contributors across all lines.
Better players for the Bloods included Shaun Stanley and Alan Hill in defence and Craig Berger and Andrew Hunter in the midfield.
Mick Turner failed to have a direct impact on the scoreboard, but he was important in setting up chances for his teammates.
Matt Dwyer was the clear stand-out for the Lions as his hard running and creative use of the football kept them in touch.
Brendan Peace was handy, especially in the second half, while Jarret Giampaolo and Ryan Waight worked hard.

Cobras break drought with strong win over Panthers

Melton South coach Julian Shanks has conceded that finals are almost certainly out of reach for the Panthers after losing to Bacchus Marsh on Saturday.
The Cobras recorded their first RegionalOne BFL win since June 11 last year with the 19.17 (131) to 12.15 (87) result.
Shanks said yesterday he would try to “keep things positive” at Melton South this week to stop morale and confidence levels from plummeting to new lows.
The Panthers, who played in last year’s finals, have a mighty challenge to stay in this year’s race.
They had won five out of six games at the same stage – the end of round seven – last year.
“Finals are pretty much out of our reach as we speak,” Shanks said.
The shock 44-point loss was Melton South’s sixth failure this season.
Shanks, in his first year as coach of the club, said a growing injury list was taking a toll on his side.
The Panthers have been without star forward Matthew Sutton, Colin Simpkin, Mark Russell and the suspended Adam Leggett in recent weeks.
Shanks said other key players such as Marc Dransman, Chris Mamalis, Daniel Hassett and Chris Senserrick, were struggling for form because they were carrying injuries through games.
“There’s no excuses though. There’s still 21 blokes out there,” he said.
“People would pick up the paper and say that we’re not going well, but they don’t know what’s happening inside the club.
“Our good players are playing well, but injuries are hurting us.”
The Cobras hurt the Panthers on the scoreboard in the second half, scoring nine goals to three.
Bacchus Marsh had, for the first time in a long time, five multiple scorers and 11 goalkickers in total.
Rohan Connors was one of the best of them with four majors, while Mitchell Wilson booted three.
A first-game player, Jason Hooper, was the man-of-the-match for his starring effort on the wing.
Bacchus Marsh coach Adam Sutherland said the drought-breaking victory was proof that his club has a strong future.
“I’ve seen enough to know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
“To be honest, we had been a team that had lost the art of winning.
“It was just a matter of rewarding ourselves and going back to enjoying playing footy.”

East Point far too good for Swans

Ballarat Courier

East Point silenced any remaining critics with an emphatic 172-point thrashing of Ballarat at the Eastern Oval in the Ballarat Football League on Saturday.
The Red Lion Kangaroos topped 200 points for the third week in a row with star forward Dan Jordan bagging 14 goals in the 33.16 (214) to 6.6 (42) scoreline.
Jordan took his tally for the past four weeks to 52 majors and his season total to 60.
He was given ample opportunity through a wonderful supply from his midfielders.
He had seven majors in the first three quarters and added another seven in the last.
Ballarat was overly conscious of Jordan in the opening term and allowed Simon Geljon to dominate at half-forward and Chris McGuigan to chip in with three goals from the pocket.
Kade Nicholls, Luke Faull, Ben Jordan and Jason Delaney took control of the centre in the second term and sent a never-ending supply forward.
When the Kangaroos rotated their midfield, Shane Hutchinson, Chris Banwell and Josh Cother continued the run and Ballarat could find no answers.
The Swans contested hard and tackled well but lacked targets, with injured key forwards Tom Steinfort and Mark Nunn watching from the sidelines.
Their plight worsened when key midfielder Brad Anderson left the field in the second term with an injury and did not return.
Sam Caldow battled solidly in the ruck for Ballarat and Adam Sewell and Brendan Lovell worked hard in defence against overwhelming odds.
East Point’s scoring power was evident with six goals in the first term, eight in the second, another eight in the third and a lazy 11 in the last quarter.
Coach Shane Fisher said it was probably his side’s best win for the season.
The Kangaroos have not been beaten in seven matches.
Their average winning margin has been about 110 points. “Ballarat had been going well and has some quality players, but we were still able to stamp our authority on the match,” Fisher said.
“We’re looking forward to hosting Sunbury next week.”
Ballarat’s master coach John Northey was impressed with the Kangaroos.
“They were far too good.
They had strength on every line and their marking was superb,” he said.
“We still have a fair way to go.”
Ballarat will host Darley on Saturday and it will be a tall order for Northey to get his side back into stride for a match that may well define the season.

Lakers hang on for Landry’s 100th game

Lake Wendouree held off a fast-finishing Darley to celebrate Cameron Landry’s 100th match in style with a 17-point win in the Ballarat Football League at Wendouree Reserve on Saturday.
The Plaster Right Lakers almost gave up their 10-goal half-time advantage as the Devils kicked 10 of the last 13 goals.
Lake Wendouree coach Darrin Findlay was always confident of being able to hang on for victory – the 17.12 (114) to 14.13 (97) result was his side’s third win for the season.
Darley coach Matthew Power sparked his players into action after making them spend the entire half-time break sitting in a huddle on the ground.
Power said he treated them like junior players because they were playing like children.
He was scathing of his side’s performance in the first half, when it managed only four goals.
“They didn’t go (into the changerooms) at half-time because they were playing like it was junior footy,” Power said.
“If they want to keep playing like they’re juniors then I will give the best players a pie and a can of soft drink after our games.
“A lot of blokes fancy themselves and think they can play. What they don’t understand is that it has nothing to do with ability and everything to do with work ethic.”
Experienced players Travis Stephenson, Troy Parker and Cameron McCabe deserved their pie and drink for inspiring Darley’s fightback.
Stephenson was instrumental in ruck as he outplayed Lake Wendouree pair Paul Jones and Hayden McRae to give first use of the ball to his midfielders.
McCabe and Parker drove the ball into attack with bursting runs through centre half-forward.
Full-forward Lee Cox also lifted his workrate, kicking five goals in the second half for his best return of the season.
The Lakers were determined to win for Landry, who was at his best for the milestone match.
“It was important that we won for Cam,” Findlay said.
“I always thought we had a big enough lead to win, so it was a bit disappointing in the second half when we got a bit loose and selfish in areas of our game.
“I would take a win any day though because no-one really gave us a chance today.”
The Lakers played their best football of the season in the second term as they piled on nine goals.
Their forward line was potent as Bradley Maxwell, Paul McMahon and Brenton Walker bagged four goals each.
McMahon was lively early in the opening term as he outmarked Keenan Reynolds on more than one occasion.
Reynolds did not last long as he was forced to the bench with a back injury. The extent of the injury was not known, but Power said Reynolds would “miss a few” matches.
The Devils have lost their run from defence with Cameron McLeod and Chris McGill also out injured.

Ground ‘disgrace’, says Darley coach
First published by:

Darley coach Matthew Power has labelled the playing surface of Wendouree Reserve “disgraceful”, saying it was unsuitable for use.
Power said the Lake Wendouree-Darley game on Saturday should not have been played at the ground because of the poor surface condition.
Players had trouble keeping their feet in the many parts of the ground covered unevenly with sand.
It was Lake Wendouree’s first home game of the season.
“From our point of view games should not be played there. But I guess there’s not much we can do about it if the league says it’s okay,” Power said.
RegionalOne Ballarat Football League operations manager Tim Beacham said yesterday the City of Ballarat made the call on the safety of grounds.
“Wendouree Reserve met the criteria outlined by the City of Ballarat. They test the ground regularly for hardness, grass coverage, objects and any other dangers,” he said.
Sunbury signs star onballer

Sunbury has high hopes for a former Ovens and Murray Football League star it has recruited.
Lavington premiership player Corey Brown could play for the Lions as soon as this week’s blockbuster with East Point at the Eastern Oval.
Although the Lions signed him last week, coach Mark Power said Brown would not play in today’s clash with Sebastopol at Clarke Oval.
“He won’t play against Sebastopol because he hasn’t been cleared,” Power said yesterday.
“We put his clearance in on Friday and we’re hoping that he will be right for the big one against East Point.”
Brown, an onballer, was named man-of-the-match in Lavington’s one-point grand final win over Myrtleford last year.
He is the nephew of Sunbury legends Ashley and Rohan Brand.
Brown contacted Sunbury wanting to play because he had grown tired of travelling from Melbourne to Albury each week, Power said.
The Lions will aim for their first win since round four today after suffering consecutive losses to Ballarat and Redan.
However, the Kookaburras would rise from the bottom of the ladder if they claim only their second win for the season.

Really poor game of football at Sunbury yesterday...
Tim Little easily BOG, dominated the game, Mark Power was good after starting slowly and Matty Payne across half back cleaned up all day...
