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!

Scoop' Reviews Round 8

The first Saturday in June '22 will be remembered for two things across the McDonald's Ballarat Senior Men's comp - the emphatic arrival of winter and the day Melton firmed as red hot flag favourites.

  • North Ballarat

    8.11.59

  • Def

  • Bacchus Marsh

    4.8.32

With both sides missing key personnel, it was North Ballarat who returned to the winners' list with a comfortable 27-point win at Mars Stadium. After scores were level at quarter time, Brendan McCartney's men booted the next six goals of the game to put the contest beyond doubt in trying conditions, moving ahead on the win/loss ledger and back into fourth place on the McDonald’s Ballarat Senior Men’s ladder.

Trying conditions may be the understatement of the year given all of nature's elements were in evidence as winter announced its arrival in Ballarat. The lights of Mars Stadium had little effect on improving the spectacle, but without them, it would have been near impossible to watch. 

Cobras coach Tom German, while disappointed the in loss, commended his players for their effort. "We had quite a few out but the guys battled hard all day," he said. "We just didn't get the reward for our effort in the first quarter especially."

McCartney endorsed the sentiments of German in the post-match. "An undermanned Bacchus Marsh did a mighty job as a club," he said. "[On our own performance] we worked harder this week and resembled much more of how we want to be."

For the winners, Jack Riding (1 goal), Ned Nash and Jamie Quick (2 goals) were the cleanest ball users in the conditions, while Jake Owen (defence), Alex Porter and Ryley Stuhldreier never gave up the fight for the Cobras.       

  • Ballarat

    7.12.54

  • Def

  • Lake Wendouree

    6.5.41

Ballarat survived a spirited challenge from a young Lakers outfit to win by 13 points at Alfredton Oval. The degree of difficulty to execute amid the elements, let alone determined opposition, was not missed by either coach in the aftermath.

Victorious Swans coach Joe Carmody was just happy to walk away with the points after trailing at three-quarter time.

"We didn't really adjust to the wet, windy, cold conditions," he said. "[We were] lucky to get the win in the end."

The Swans kicked the only three goals in the last quarter to arrest an eight-point deficit to avoid the upset of the round.

Lakers coach Jack Fitzpatrick - clearly a character of the game - continues to deliver his matter-of-fact match summations.

"You couldn't even call it footy on what was a truly atrocious day," he said. "Both teams deserve credit for slugging it out in simply awful conditions."     

Nick Swain, Carter Prendergast and Sam James were named best afield for the winners while Lachlan O'Connell, Lachlan Fitzgerald and youngster Cooper James tried their hearts out for Fitzpatrick.

  • Melton

    17.8.110

  • Def

  • East Point

    10.9.69

Undefeated Melton confirmed their flag favourites tag with a 41-point win over (then) second-placed East Point at Macpherson Park.

Aaron Tymms' Bloods made it tough for the visitors from the outset with the aid of the breeze to lead 30-0 at the first change. The Kangas responded (as we all thought they would) to be within seven points at the half, but a nine-goal to two third term from the ladder leaders quickly dispelled any thoughts of an upset.

Coach Tymms was proud of his boys in what was clearly a danger for the club.

"It was a very well-rounded performance from the entire group," he said. "We will enjoy a few weeks off now." The Bloods' next game is not until June 25, an away meeting with Redan.

For Bridges' boys, it's not doom and gloom by any stretch, but rather a timely footy audit nearing halfway against the benchmark of the competition. Kangas’ star forward Jordy Johnston booted five goals, extending his tally to 26 from his last six games. Midfielder Matty Johnston won his fair share of the footy, while Dallas Martin and Aden Nestor's seasons continue to gain momentum. 

For the winners, league-leading forward Ryan Carter (5 goals) and brother Liam (3 goals) proved a formidable combination once again in the Bloods’ front half, while running machine/ball magnet Jack Walker was named best on ground for a third time this season. Youngsters Adrian Monitto and Kyle Borg were lively contributors for the Bloods to feature amongst the best players, along with inside mid Lachie Watkins.

  • Melton South

    8.13.61

  • Def by

  • Redan

    16.9.105

League improvers Melton South were unable to sustain their brand of pressure over the last month, succumbing to a more desperate Redan on the road to the tune of 44 points. The Lions led at every change, leaving a degree of inevitability about the result from a long way out. The visitors certainly came to play, riding high on the back of their away win over Sunbury last week, essentially banking the premiership points to stay within touch of the final six calculations.

Panthers coach Heath Pritchard conceded his boys were down and paid full credit to Redan in what was billed as a very winnable game for both sides heading in.

"Redan played well and brought a high intensity and work rate," he said.

"Losing Dylan Conway (concussion) in the first quarter, Jake Thornton-Gielen (shoulder) in the third and Billy Lloyd (ankle) at the start of the last didn't help, but the damage was already done."

"Full credit to Redan," Pritchard said.

The Panthers sit in ninth place with two wins and are nil from five at home this year.

The mood was in complete contrast to an upbeat Redan camp who sit just one game outside of the top six following their third away win of the season.

According to Lions coach Jarrett Giampaolo, the win was just reward for their superior work rate.

"It was a good win, we controlled the game for the most part," he said.

"Our boys applied relentless pressure and tackled really well and our young players stood up in the contest."

The Lions veterans did most of the damage on the scoreboard as Lachie George (4 goals), Grant Bell (3 goals) and Liam Hoy (3 goals) combined for 10 goals. George was named best along with Isaac Grant, while Panthers trio Rhys Lee, Cody Chapman and Matthew Notman earned the plaudits, albeit in defeat, from their coach. 

  • Sebastopol

    5.11.41

  • Def

  • Sunbury

    3.7.25

Sebastopol has finally put an end to arguably the longest run of outs amongst any of the McDonald’s Ballarat FNL clubs to hold off a desperate Sunbury at Marty Busch Reserve on Saturday.

The horrible conditions witnessed across the Ballarat region over the weekend were reflected in the low rate of scoring. The visiting Lions found themselves in the game yet again winning their customary two quarters to lead at half-time by 7 points. But their inability to hit the scoreboard in the second half proved their undoing, managing just three behinds for the half as opposed to the 'Burras 3.8.

It's well known that Sunbury has struggled to field their best 22 this year but could not use it as an excuse given the casualty list the 'Burra have had to endure in their opening seven games.

Sebastopol coach Michael Searl confirmed his boys were made to work extremely hard for the win.

"Sunbury outworked us and were winning plenty of the football in the first half," he said.

"We were able to turn it around in the second (half) with some one-on-one football.

"Our effort, tackling pressure and competitiveness was huge."

Despite the misfortunes for the 'Burra on the injury front, the club has managed four wins on the trot to sit second on the McDonald’s Ballarat Senior Men’s ladder with a clear advantage over cross-town rival and next opponent Ballarat.

Sunbury coach Travis Hodgson kept a glass half full attitude despite the club's sixth loss of the season.

"Considering our large number of outs, I was proud of our boys’ effort," he said.

"It was a fiercely contested and even game for the most part and we're disappointed we couldn't turn it into four Premiership points.

According to Hodgson the Lions, "need to keep presenting and being in games until we break through again."

The 'Burras Grady Snowden, Tony Lockyer and Bailey Veale featured significantly while the Lions' Tyson Lever, Matthew Medcraft and Leigh Brennan were acknowledged for their efforts in defeat.

Scoop' Reviews Round 9

Two of the four winners from Saturday's Senior Men's matches were able to overcome half-time deficits, while the other two fell agonisingly short. The expectation of a tight billing across the board did not disappoint with three of the four games decided by a goal or less. The even nature of the competition continues behind the competition's one exception, Melton.

  • Redan

    11.17.83

  • Def

  • North Ballarat

    12.8.80

Redan held off a barnstorming finish from North Ballarat to win by three points at City Oval. The result makes it a hat trick of wins for the Lions who are now just percentage outside of the top six.

The Lions won the opening three-quarters of the game to set up a 26-point lead at the final change before Brendan McCartney's men went to work, booting five goals to one in the last only to fall three points shy. While honours remain deservedly with the winners, North Ballarat's belated efforts were to be commended after losing Jarrod Curran (collarbone) and John O'Brien (heavy knock) for the second half.

Lions goal shark Isaac Grant finished with five goals to feature prominently while underrated wingman Pat Fitzgibbon provided some much-needed drive in a position where you can easily be exposed by North Ballarat. Lachie George was among the better players for the winners, buoyed by the return of Cooper Craig Peters from VFL duties.

For North Ballarat, the usual suspects nearly willed them over the line with significant contributions from Jack Riding (4 goals), Riley Polkinghorne, Cam McCallum, Simon McCartin, Brock Leonard and Ryan Hobbs.

Redan most certainly needed the points with Melton, East Point and Sebastopol to come over the next three weeks. North Ballarat will aim to bounce back over the coming fortnight against Melton South and Darley.

What the coaches said...

Jarrett Giampaolo (Redan): "Stressful win! We dominated play in the first half but were very wasteful and should have been up by a lot more and potentially had the game won. But North Ballarat were persistent and took the game on in the last quarter.  A few of their good players got off the leash but our boys were able to grind out the last five minutes and hang on."   

Brendan McCartney (North Ballarat): "We were outworked in the first half. Redan were very good in the contest which consistently gave them first use of the ball. We responded well in the second half, down two important players. Our endeavour, competitiveness and desire were fantastic. Great game of footy, the better team won on the day."

  • Melton South

    12.4.76

  • Def

  • Lake Wendouree

    10.10.70

Heath Pritchard's Melton South ended a 14-game losing streak in Ballarat dating back nearly five years when they hung on to defeat Lake Wendouree by six points. The Panthers, although ninth on the McDonald's Ballarat Senior Men's table are just one game and percentage outside the top six in what is shaping up to be an incredibly even competition.

When a 16-point half-time lead to the visitors became 24 points at the final change it was looking more like 'how far' for the Panthers, but Jack Fitzpatrick's Lakers dug in for the fight, drawing level in the latter stages before a Daniel Vasjuta late goal sealed the game.

What was more encouraging for the Panthers in their third away win of the season was the make-up of the best players, with a few of the lesser-knowns standing up when it counted most. Sam Hurst, Daniel Vasjuta (3 goals), Jarrod Bibby and John Kovarik were influential in the win, while Will Thornton-Gielen's three-goal return also helped the cause.

The Panthers had seven goalkickers on the day, the Lakers just five as young Laker Rory O'Keefe (3 goals) led Geelong VFL-listed Scott Carlin and Nathan Pring who finished with two. Harrison Robertson and Brayden Helyar were considered the best players out of the losing camp along with O'Keefe. 

The Panthers will hope to improve on their 0-5 record at home this week when they face North Ballarat, who have lost three of their last four games.

The Lakers will prepare for a trip down the highway for a meeting with Darley who have lost their last two against finals contenders Ballarat and East Point.

What the coaches said...

Jack Fitzpatrick (Lake Wendouree): "Football is a hard game at the best of times, made harder when you give the opposition a head start. Credit to Melton South, they came to play and we took a quarter to get going, which was the difference in the end."

Heath Pritchard (Melton South): "Pleasing result at the end of the day following a number of changes. We were dominant in the first quarter and hit the scoreboard. A stalemate prevailed through the middle stages before the Lakers, to their credit, took the game on and started to score. Pleasing from our boys when Lakers drew level we found a way to get the ball forward and score late."

  • Ballarat

    12.12.84

  • Def

  • Sebastopol

    12.11.83

Ballarat arrested a 16-point half-time deficit to steal a one-point win at Alfredton Oval and move into outright second on the ladder ahead of their bye in Round 10.

Dangerous Swans forward Andrew Hooper (5 goals) capitalised on his side's momentum swing as their midfield and half-back lines hit their straps in the second half, creating enough opportunities to finish ahead of the ledger on the final siren. Rebound defender Nick Weightman continued his impressive season to be named best along with Hooper and youngsters Rhys Perry and Will Liston.

For the 'Burra Jed Hill finished with four goals and fearless leader Tony Lockyer three. Hill took the honours in a losing side, while Liam Stow and Dean Robertson battled manfully in the absence of first-choice ruckman Jack Richards. Bailey Veale and James Keeble continued their rich vein of form but it wasn't enough to deny the Swans in a nailbiter.

The Swans will savour the bye with a smile while it's back to the drawing board for the 'Burra as their four-game winning streak came to a dramatic end. Sebastopol is at home to Bacchus Marsh this Saturday.  

What the coaches said...

Joe Carmody (Ballarat): "Sebastopol's pressure was excellent throughout the game, restricting our ball movement. We were able to get on top at stoppages and rebound off half-back a bit better in the second half creating scoring opportunities for Andrew Hooper and Josh Gibson."

Michael Searl (Sebastopol): "Disappointing result when you've led for 95% of the day. We started really well but weren't as efficient as we would have liked. The inside 50 count was 18-4 at quarter time. Some crucial turnovers by foot in the last (quarter) also hurt us. We regroup and we go again, no point dwelling on it."

  • East Point

    15.9.99

  • Def

  • Darley

    9.12.66

Kangas star forward Jordan Johnston proved the difference - booting nine goals to be clearly best on ground in their come-from-behind win over the Devils at Eastern Oval.

The visitors led by as much as 17 points midway thru the third term before the reigning Premiers booted 10 of the last 12 goals of the game to win going away.

'JJ' kept the Kangas in it with six of their first seven goals. Even the Darley faithful were left contemplating, what can you do? Jordy has 35 goals from his last seven games, firming well and truly into Henderson Medal calculations.

Kangas midfielders Mickijta Rotumah-Onus and Matty Johnston won the midfield battle on the back of some tireless work from Joel Van Meel in the ruck, giving 'JJ' and youngster Jack Jeffrey (3 goals) the supply needed to post a winning score.

Devils forward Nick Rodda (5 goals) looked threatening all afternoon while  Mace Cousins' rebound out of defence was pivotal in setting the league improvers up with an early advantage.

What the coaches said...

Jake Bridges (East Point): "Plenty of evidence of living our trademarks today! Great team effort and response from the group."

Dan Jordan (Darley): "Spirited effort against a quality side. Great learnings on playing four-quarter football for our young side. We were in it for a long way, full credit to East Point."

Darley takes on Sebastopol at Marty Busch Reserve on Saturday at 2.15pm - live-streamed to the BFNL Facebook page

CLUB: DARLEY

COACH: Dan Jordan

FOR THE RECORD

(Scoop):Well Dan, there's still no recognized ruckman at the Devils, does this pose a problem?

(Dan): Not necessarily. The vacancy will give one of our younger blokes an opportunity to grow and become a potential 10-year player at the club if they're up for the challenge. I've been in a similar situation at other clubs, we'll just need to be a bit more creative with our set-up around the ball.

(Scoop):What can the BFNL expect from gun recruits Brett Bewley, Nick Rodda and Dylan Landt?

(Dan): There's no guarantees (on performance) on any player(s) returning from a higher level. That aside, Brett brings exceptional leadership and standards that will have a lasting impact on the group while Nick will 'straighten us up' structurally and provide a key target forward. I expect Dylan to play most of his footy with Essendon VFL, any games with us will be a bonus. He dominated the SANFL last year.

(Scoop):The club is coming off a winless 2021, in what areas can Devils fans expect to see a spike in improvement?       

(Dan): We're still a work in progress. The buy-in thus far from the group has been positive. We're confident our focus on competitiveness will see us in games for longer as we strive for greater consistency over four quarters.

IDENTIFIED STRENGTHS

(Dan): Stability in defence, greater midfield depth and key target forward.

IMPROVEMENTS

(Dan): Embrace flair. I think we'll see a couple of break-out seasons from players taking the game on given the added experience to the group.

PRE-SEASON TRAINING

(Dan): It's been all about conditioning and trying to get players back to pre-covid fitness levels.  On the back of that, working on a collective buy-in with a game plan.  

DRAW COMMENTS

(Dan): Not too phased who we play really, our priority is getting that first win. I've no doubt we'll be a much-improved side in the back half of the draw.

PLAYER INS:

Brett Bewley (Fremantle AFL), Nick Rodda (Williamstown VFL), Dylan Landt (Glenelg SANFL, Essendon VFL), Dylan Bishop (ex-Bacchus Marsh)

PLAYER OUTS:

Jake Edwards (Qld), Ryan Kemp (WA), Mark Hanson (Point Cook Centrals), Kirk Fenton (Melton Centrals), Ricky Hawkins (Melton Centrals), Daniel Robson (Melton Centrals)

VFL AFFILIATED PLAYERS:

Dylan Landt (Essendon), Bailey Young (Footscray)

DEVILS PASS MARK:

(Dan): To play four quarters of consistent footy. A win early would be a major boost (to achieving this goal).

IMPROVERS TIP (TEAM OUTSIDE OF DARLEY):

(Dan): Tough ask, it's my first year!

FLAG TIP (TEAM OUTSIDE OF DARLEY):

(Dan): North Ballarat City, Macca has them pretty organized.

BFNL media writer 'Scoop' has crunched the numbers on the proposed 2021 season draw, revealing who are the winners and who has drawn the wrath of the footy gods. Over the next few weeks, Scoop will deliver a deep dive into the season ahead for your club.

Redan can savour a second successive #1 rated draw, while Bacchus Marsh (#2) and Darley (#3) can breathe a sigh of relief having fared well according to the formulated study.

Melton (#11) appear to have copped the wrath of the footy gods with five 'away' highway trips to Ballarat, not to mention double-up meetings with four finalists from 2019, including Grand Final duo East Point and Sebastopol.

 

2019 Grand Final
2019 Grand Final

 

While Melton South's (#6) Ballarat travel diary mirrors the Bloods, the draw around that looks far more favourable for a team expected to rise. As for the reigning dual Premiers East Point (#8), they copped a draw worthy of a team aiming for a three-peat. Sebastopol (#4) will enjoy a dream run in the final third of their season, while North Ballarat (#5) fared next best out of brick city. With scope for improvement both on and off field, the Rooster’s draw sees them in the mix for a sneaky finals berth.

Lake Wendouree (#7) and more-so Ballarat (#10) appear to have the job ahead of them according to the formula, despite their marquee signings. Flag challengers, Sunbury (#9), finished mid-to-low table with the draw after a difficult rating in 2019. Tough luck for the Lions who’s 2020 draw (#4) was looking bright but, alas, COVID...

Analytics aside for a brief moment, how good is it - footy's back (well nearly)!

Following a successful return to senior finals after a three-year wait, the McDonald's Ballarat FNL is pleased to announce details of Week Two of the Carlton Draught Senior Finals series. 

In football, Semi Final Two, and the chance to progress directly to the 2022 Carlton Draught Grand Final will be held at Macpherson Park, Melton on Saturday 3rdSeptember 2022 following the success of the debut at this venue. Semi Final One will be held at City Oval, Ballarat on Sunday 4thSeptember 2022. 

Netball will see a slight variation with Semi Final One to be held at Macpherson Park, Melton Saturday 3rdSeptember and Semi Final Two, and the chance for Grand Final progression to be held Sunday 4thSeptember. 

Melton will have the chance to grab a Grand Final berth should they win Saturday; however, Sebastopol will be a formidable opponent standing in their way. In the other semi-final, Darley will travel to Ballarat and take on the Swans at City Oval, the scene of their nail-biting one-point win over the reigning premiers last week. 

With a full card of netball across both days and record crowds in Week One, the excitement continues to build as we head towards the 2022 Carlton Draught Grand Final on Saturday 17thSeptember. 

You can see the path to the Grand Final below and find the full schedule for Week Two of the 2022 Carlton Draught Finals Series below. Want to download the schedule?
