Local Sport Demons claim win over Lakers

■ Mernda jumped out of the blocks and led throughout on their way to defeating top of the table Kinglake by 35 points in their huge NFNL Division 3 clash at Waterview Recreation Reserve.

The 9.9 (63) to 4.4 (28) win sees the Demons draw level with the Lakers on nine wins, and despite still being 16 percent behind, it keeps Mernda’s top two hopes alive.

The 5.3 to nil first term by Mernda would prove crucial, because it was the only quarter where the team the with breeze took full advantage.

For the rest of the game, the teams with the wind scored one, two and one goal and after quarter time, the team kicking against the wind managed plenty of inside 50 entries.

Billy Morrison was certainly a best on ground candidate, booting his two majors in the first term, while again being dominant in all areas of the ground.

The Kinglake players got their hands on the ball regularly early in the game, but often turned the ball over by going short to a contest.

When the Lakers had the use of the breeze in the second term, they were able to keep the Demons goalless, but only scored a solitary goal themselves courtesy of Harrison Balazsy.

The local crowd was hoping that their team could put the game away in the third term with the wind, but Kinglake lifted after the long break and played extremely well into the breeze.

Kicking the first two majors in the third term through Rory McIntyre and Krystopher Douglas, the Lakers reduced the deficit to 15-points and the visitors suddenly looked a chance to run over the top, as their hunt of the ball and intensity had lifted markedly from their first half effort.

But Mernda was able to steady with the final two goals before three quarter time through Ryan Lovegrove-Hudson and Matthew Bawden, giving the home side a 27-point lead at the last change.

Kinglake coach Andrew Fairchild urged his team to believe, take the game on and enjoy the challenge.

However, it was the Demons who controlled the game early in the final term, despite starting with three straight behinds.

A goal to Christian Evans at the 10-minute mark saw the lead balloon out to 36 points and the game was done and dusted.

“We had to respond after last week’s loss to Laurimar as well as the poor showing against Kinglake earlier in the season,” Mernda coach Robert Fletcher said.

“We controlled the game against the wind and were good when we had it.”

As well as praise for Morrison, Fletcher also gave a tick to solid defenders Dayne Kellett and Kai Turner who have produced brilliant seasons.

Christopher Roussos, Riley Black and Nathan Baccega contributed well around the ground for the victors, while William Crouch was a good marking target forward of centre and finished with two goals.

Overall, the superior ability of the home team to transfer the ball from defence to forward 50 had a major impact on the game.

Both of the losses by the Lakers have come away from home against top four sides.

“We got outworked and outplayed by a good team today,” Kinglake coach Andrew Fairchild said.

“We’ll lick out wounds and look to bounce back next week.”

Fairchild likes the work of defenders Riley Kennedy and Ben White, and also had praise for Krystopher Douglas and Bailey Robinson.

Yea FC eyes 2024

■ The Yea Football Netball Club is announcing that it has appointed a new senior coach and assistant coach to lead the club in 2024.

This follows an extremely tough year of no senior football in 2023, and the merged arrangements with Broadford in 2022.

Mitch Skelly has accepted the role of senior coach, and club legend Daniel Evans returns as his lead assistant playing coach for season 2024.

Peter Armstrong, Club President, said: “Senior footy is back at Yea! This has been the most challenging few years of our club’s history.

“We cannot be more thankful and appreciative of the support we have been able to maintain through this season, off the back of having great junior and netball teams in 2023.

“Those teams have really kept our club afloat. We have also received lots of community support and offers of assistance from all over Victoria

"This news gives our club and the entire Yea community so much hope for not only next season, but well into the future.

“The quality of the coaches that we have been able to attract to the club is a credit to our hard-working committee, the committees that proceeded us and to some past players that reached out and got heavily involved in the recruitment process.”

Mitch Skelly, who accepted the role after a lengthy and rigorous process, is an AFL level 3 accredited coach who has had experience as head coach in the VFLW and more recently been coaching at the successful club, Heidelberg in the NFNL

Mitch had a successful community football career himself and donned the yellow and black for the Yea Tigers in season 2021. Mitch could not be more excited about joining the Yea Tigers

“ I can’t wait to get started and lead what is a great club back into senior football. In my dealings with the club, I was presented with a very professional Strategic Plan that gave me confidence that the committee and its leaders have a great understanding of the work that we need to do to bring this club back to where it belongs; competing against the very best teams the Outer East has to offer in all grades of football.”

“"I was able to play five or sixgames for the club in 2021 and the place left a lasting impression on me. The people were all so welcoming and the culture was second to none.

“I watched from afar as the club battled in the last few years and I had a sense that I could really help in some way.

“At the time I didn’t know it would be as their senior coach, but the pitch made to me from the committee was something I couldn’t pass up.

“I can’t wait to start the recruitment process with all the players and for pre-season to begin.”

Yea FNC is equally excited that Daniel Evans (known as ‘Pup’around the club) is back as the lead playing assistant coach for 2024.

Pup has held senior leadership roles at Yea and played over 200 games for the club. He returns to the club after a stint with Forest Hill as their Playing Assistant Coach for the past two seasons.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Forest Hill and will continue to give my absolute all to the club for the rest of this season.

“I have made lifelong friends and Forest Hill will hold a special place in my heart. But those who know me well, know I am a Yea Tigers man through and through.

“I love the place and my family has all been heavily involved at the club in some way for as long as anyone can remember.

“The opportunity to return and get the place back up and running is one I couldn’t pass up.

“My partner and I can’t wait to get back involved at the club and I look forward to working closely with Mitch, to help lead the Yea Tigers back to successful times in senior football.”

Both Mitch and Daniel have seasons to complete with their current respective clubs but have already started putting together a team of assistants that will begin the process of recruiting new and past players for both senior and reserves for next season.

Peter Armstrong said: “We are in the marketplace now and although we can’t make announcements this early, we are right in the mix for some very talented players to join our ranks next season.

“We are very confident that our senior teams will be able to compete next season and we will be able to build a senior football program that will thrive not only in 2024 but well into the future.”

Burras too strong for Saints

■ St Mary’s flexed their muscles in an impressive 46-point victory over Watsonia at Whatmough Park, keeping their spot in the top five on the NFNL Division 2 ladder intact.

The Burra trailed by 17 points at quarter time, and by a point at three quarter time, before running rampant in the final term to finish 18.15 (123) to 11.11 (77) victors.

St Mary’s have now won four of their last five games and remain in fourth position while Watsonia drop to eighth, putting more pressure on them to keep up with the rest of the top five.

Burra defender Mitchell Green proved to be St Mary’s’ best as he dominated in their defensive half, taking numerous intercept marks and providing great vision to deliver efficient passes to his teammates.

The talented Tane Cotter played arguably his best game of the season, racking up countless possessions as well as three goals in the win.

But in terms of goals, it was Jeremiah Antypas who spearheaded the home side’s attack. He contributed four goals in his side’s final term blitz and finished with a season high of six for the afternoon.

For the visitors it was competition leading goalkicker James Lucente who converted four goals for Watsonia, taking many marks in his attacking 50 and providing many lead up op- tions for his half forwards.

NFNL

Dogs one step closer

■ North Heidelberg have taken another enormous leap towards solidifying a top five spot in the NFNL Division 1 competition, following a 28-point triumph over Hurstbridge at Shelley Street Reserve.

The Bulldogs were hungry for the ball throughout the first half, and it showed through their many scoring opportunities inside 50. Hurstbridge were able to meet the intensity of the game until the Bulldogs scraped away in the final stages for a 17.8 (110) to 12.10 (82) victory.

North Heidelberg now jump into fourth spot and with Montmorency and Greensborough being the only current top five sides they still need to face; it puts them in a great position to secure a first finals berth since 2019.

Hurstbridge meanwhile drops back out of the top five but are still well and truly in the finals hunt.

Hamish Murphy and Liam Hunt were the marquee players for the Bulldogs across the ground, with their entries up forward setting the tone for the team’s attack.

While Cooper Bugeja and Brodie White helped retain possession and apply needed pressure that saw them among the Bulldogs best, accompanying a five-goal game from Majak Daw.

Hurstbridge were helped by the likes of William Cookson, Blake Fitzgerald and Jake Richards, who were all dangerous around the ball, opening up the rest of their side to operate well.

Their main target was found in Joel Naylor, who booted five goals on the day to lift his side every time when they needed a consistent response in scoring.

After a trade off in goals to start the match, Hurstbridge took hold of an early lead thanks to majors from Naylor and Harry O’Brien.

Daw started his goal kicking campaign for the Bulldogs with a major from set distance, while Kieren Jacksic quickly followed with one of his own to tie scores up.

The start of the second term matched how the previous one ended, with Daw kicking true after another big leap, claiming his third of the day to snatch the lead back.

Kicking against the heavy wind conditions played a factor in Hurstbridge’s attack up the ground, resulting in a goalless quarter as their execution of kicks fell back into the opposition hands.

Jhye Baddeley-Kelly found the big sticks for North Heidelberg, breaking their scoring drought as Brock Chircop would also rise up with a major to help Jason Heatley’s men establish a com-

manding 23-point lead at the main break. After a talk from Joel Cordwell and a switch of sides, Hurstbridge quickly stormed back into the scoring column with goals by Jacob Smith and Mitchell Hymus reducing the lead to 11-points.

However, the Bulldogs quickly adjusted back into their brand of football that led to a chain of goals from Baddeley-Kelly, Billy Hogan and Chircop that pushed the lead back out to 30-points.

The quick movement of the ball and the dominance from midfield started to overwhelm the Hurstbridge backline but they would eventually find relief from Caelan Anderson after his goal in set shot fashion.

However, the momentum of the game was quickly shifted back to the Bulldogs , after a goal from Cooper Bugeja bended with the wind and a soccer goal from Brodie White again pushed the lead out to 35 points.

With the scoreboard against them, Joel Cordwell’s men stormed the opening of the final term with a plethora of goals from Bailey Jordan, Liam Middleton and Naylor to reduce the deficit down to 17-points.

A goal from Mitchell Dillon would settle the nerves of Bulldogs fans before White added a second major to again put North Heidelberg in the hot seat to run away with the game.

But the fight from Hurstbridge was still there and did not shy away thanks to Jordan and Naylor converting on their majors that kept the margin to within three goals.

Minutes before the final siren, Daw would once again step up in the forward line thanks to the midfield’s quick clearances. He would capitalise by kicking two thumping goals that put the final nail in the coffin of a 28-point victory.

Outer East

Junior Football

Julian Janev was able to provide plenty of run in the middle for the Saints and presented an option for Watsonia’s transition play off half back.

Kicking with the wind in the first quarter, it took less than a minute for the Saints to produce a shot on goal. Charbel Khoury kicked the first major of the match and from the outset, the visiting side looked cleaner with their possession, whereas St Mary’s looked more sporadic with ball in hand resulting in turnovers.

Adrian Alfonsi unloaded a bomb from inside the square as he wheeled around on his right foot and Watsonia suddenly had two on the trot in this important contest.

William Dean responded with a classy snap for the hosts, as they looked to settle into the match.

Helping them do so was Green who was busy from the get-go, floating between full back and centre half back. He was crucial in racking up contested marks in defence but also positioning himself smartly, creating turnovers from the opposition.

But Lucente still found a way to produce two majors to help Watsonia take a 17-point lead into the first change.

A nice goal from Joshua Carelli on a tight angle looked to create a spark for the Burra in the beginning of the second term.

That spark grew courtesy of Nicholas Brennan who produced the goal of the day. After pilling a mark on the flank, he followed up by grabbing the ball and kicking across his body from 40 meters out, kicking the hosts third of the match.

A major soon after from Rory Hanlon suddenly put Fabian Carelli’s men in front 15 minutes into the quarter.

The goals kept coming for the Burra, Jeremiah Antypas slotted through his first of the afternoon with a thumping kick from outside 50 to widen the margin, before slotting an easier shot moments later.

Tane Cotter’s second made it seven consecutive majors for St Mary’s who looked incredibly strong over their opponents and despite a late Daniel Annetta goal for the visitors, the Burra were in total control with a 17-point half time advantage.

It wouldn’t be long before Watsonia attempted a comeback. The dangerous Janev kicked the Saints’ sixth of the game, before later setting up Kobe Van Zwienen who boomed through a major from 55 metres out to give Watsonia two on the trot.

James Lucente quickly got involved again as the goals started to fall.

Despite Mitchell Green’s best efforts in the defensive half for the hosts, his side trailed onepoint at the final break.

With the wind in their backs, the Burra were quick to re-create their brilliant second quarter efforts.

They produced nine of the last 11 majors of the game, kicking five goals in the first 10 minutes of the term to extinguish any chance of a fightback from the Saints.

Nicholas Dean was able to add to his tally of the afternoon with a quick goal from a great contested mark 45 metres out to give St Mary’s the lead with the wind at their backs.

It was a statement making two terms from the Burra, who kicked 16 goals with the wind in their backs compared to eight from the Saints.
