Scoop' Reviews Round 6

The Bloods firm as flag favourites, Darley jumped into second on the ladder, the Panthers just hung on, East Point's season continues to build, and Sunbury claimed their first win for season 2022.

The Bloods (if they weren't already) will carry the 'flag favourites’ tag for the remainder of the 2022 season following their 68-point demolition job over North Ballarat. Dynamic forward duo Ryan Carter (5 goals) and Braedyn Kight (4 goals) proved an afternoon nightmare for the Roosters who were outscored sixteen goals to five after quarter time. In-form support crew Brett McIntyre and Blake Souter were again at the forefront in a game Bloods coach Aaron Tymms labelled a "great game to watch”. Both coaches agreed the relentless Bloods pressure was the difference.

Despite losing their third game in four weeks it wasn't all bad for the Roosters according to Coach Brendan McCartney. "We aren't playing our best footy, but we showed some glimpses today," he said.

The Roosters - recently considered a 'soldier out, soldier in' outfit - appear shaky, and look far from the daunting prospect of 2021 without Josh Chatfield (Footscray VFL), Thomas Hotchin (ACL), Elliott Lamb (foot) and Jack Riding (general soreness). While Maccas boys are perceived to be an even bunch that bat deep, clearly the absence of a select few has been significant.

The efforts of Brock Leonard and Tom Bromley-Lynch were recognised in defeat, but this day simply belonged to the Bloods. The frightening reality for the rest of the competition is the Bloods are expected to improve in the second half of the season. Hard to beat.

  • Melton South

    15.8.98

Melton South hung on to beat a fast-finishing Bacchus Marsh in a thriller at Maddingley Park. The Panthers led by 29 points at the final change before the Cobras kicked the last five goals of the game. Scoreboard aside, given the nature of what transpired, a Cobras win would have been daylight robbery.

The Panthers by and large deserved the points and exposed the Cobras with their dare, spread and leg speed to lead at every change, despite the absence of star forward Dylan Conway (illness). Will Thornton-Gielen (5 goals) assumed the responsibility hitting the scoreboard in the absence of Conway and was the beneficiary of impressive contributions from Shaun Wyatt, Jake Thornton-Gielen, Cody Chapman, Mitch Fino and Billy Lloyd. Brody Sullivan's two first-half goals were quality amid periods of an old-fashioned scrap.

The Panthers are to be commended for taking on the game, denying the Cobras the game on their own terms despite the ongoing presence of dangerous trio Jake Owen (3 goals), Rex Hickman (4 goals) and Daniel Burton.

It's ironic, that four of the last five Panthers wins (over the last two seasons) have been against Sunbury (twice) and Bacchus Marsh (twice). Getting it done further west remains the Panthers' Achilles heel (0-15) since 2018. The Cobras face back-to-back highway trips to East Point and North Ballarat. Interesting...

  • Ballarat

    11.14.80

Jake Bridges' East Point are warming into their season nicely with a 32-point win over Ballarat at the weekend. The Kangas won 3.5 quarters and were never really threatened following a 10-goals to six first half and handy 22-point lead. Jordy Johnston (6 goals) and Bryce MacDougall (4 goals) did the offensive damage and proved the difference in the end. Coalface Kangas Matty Johnston and Mickitja Rotumah-Onus won the midfield field battle providing weight of supply forward, aiding the Kangas to a third score over 100 points in their last four games. For the record, JJ has booted 16 goals for the period.

Coach Jake Bridges was fully aware of his cliche response in the aftermath but thought they were the right words to best sum up the performance. "It was a great team effort," he said.

For Joe Carmody's Swans, buoyed by the return of livewire forward Andrew Hooper (4 goals) conceded they were, "outplayed in the contest, especially at the stoppage.” According to Carmody, "East's midfielders were totally dominant.”

Improving Swans youngster Will Liston and newcomer Aiden Domic along with Hooper gave their all but the Kangas were simply too strong. Expect the Swans to rally next week, second up after illness and injury that decimated the side ahead of their 95-point round five loss to Melton. Will be better for the run.

    20.13.133

Surprise packets Darley won their third 'away' game in four attempts under new Coach Dan Jordan to move into second place on the BFNL ladder. The Devils humbled a disappointing Lions outfit who proved their own worst enemy yet again with poor shooting for goal and turnovers in general play.

Despite a 19-point advantage at the half, Jordan conceded his young Devils could easily have been three or four goals down if not for inaccuracy on the part of the Lions.

Jordan said the Lions were pretty good for the most part and was proud of the overall effort of his boys.

"I could easily have found room for 13 or 14 players in our best," he said. "But we still have a lot to learn and face another tough game against Ballarat this week."

While marquee Devils forward Nick Rodda (5 goals) was prominent, the light shone more on the progress of a few youngsters, namely Brady Wright (4 goals), Andy Azzopardi (best) and 16-year-old debutant Mitch Gardiner (2 goals) who might just have kicked the club’s goal of the year. Luther Baker was the Devils’ best mid, while captain Brett Bewley was selfless under a heavy tag.

Redan coach Jarrett Giampaolo's disappointment was palpable in the aftermath. "Another frustrating game - we're unable to maintain consistency in games at the moment," he said.  

Isaac Grant, Jacob Short and Declan Phillips headed the Lions list of best players. 

  • Sunbury

  • Lake Wendouree

    8.11.59

There were contrasting emotions in both camps following Sunbury's 41-point win over Lake Wendouree at Clarke Oval. A relieved Lions coach Travis Hodgson complimented the efforts of his midfield group and his rebounding defence, denying key Lakers forward, Box Hill affiliate and leading VFL goalkicker Fergus Greene (3 goals) maximum impact.

"It was good to build on last week’s solid performance," Hodgson said. "Our focus is to continue to improve from week to week."

On the flipside, Lakers coach Jack Fitzpatrick didn't hold back with his damningly honest appraisal of his club’s performance.

"If we continue to not compete for four quarters we will continue to get beaten by bigger margins," he said. According to Fitzpatrick, the Lakers did not take advantage of the inclusion of Greene who is a star at VFL level.

"Fergus was good off limited supply," he said. "Clearly a class above and it's a shame we couldn't utilise him more."

Sunbury surpassed their previous high score of 2022 (68) comfortably with 30 shots on goal to bring up the tonne.

Harry Minton-Connell, Corey Mobilio (3 goals), Tom Werner and Haydn Ross were named best for the winners while Bayley Thompson, Thomas Hunt and Rory O'Keefe could keep their heads up for their contribution in loss. The game was all over at quarter-time - Sunbury led 50-15. Night, night.

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.

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."

Redan take on Lake Wendouree in the Good Friday clash at CE Brown Reserve. Friday 14 April at 3.15pm - LIVE streamed on the Ballarat FNL Facebook page.

CLUB: REDAN

COACH: Jarrett Giampaolo

FOR THE RECORD

(Scoop): Jarrett, reading the Lions player 'outs' - has that curbed any finals ambition or expectation on the club for 2022?

(Jarrett): No, not really, it's actually an exciting time for the club rejuvenating the list with some quality youth.

(Scoop): Experienced duo Orren Stephenson and Lachie George, along with Orren Stephenson, was having a significant impact on games in 2019 when the club made it to Week Two of the finals. While COVID has dominated the [country] footy landscape since, can we expect to see George return fresh in 2022?

(Jarrett): The 'Big O' has hung up the boots - he's got everything out of his body and deserves a well-earned rest! Lachie is flying, he's an exceptional trainer and his leadership is again at the forefront. 

(Scoop): The club welcomes a handful of players from the Central Highlands to help replenish the loss of up to seven senior players. Tell us about them and their potential roles...

(Jarrett): Nathan Dunstan (ex-North Ballarat / Hepburn) is a proven ruckman, Gordy McLaughlin - key back, Lincoln Barnes - mid with lightning speed, and Jacob Werts - intercept defender.

(Scoop): Cooper Craig-Peters remains on Footscray's VFL list - how's his pre-season been, and do you think you will see much of him in Lions colours this year?

(Jarrett): Cooper had a bit of a setback over the summer but he's back in full training. Naturally, we want him to play at the highest level - he'll be a bonus for us through the midfield if the opportunity presents.

(Scoop note): We may also see fearless leader Liam Hoy (achilles) back sooner than expected (around the mid-season)

IDENTIFIED STRENGTHS

(Jarrett): It’s a new era at Redan, the dynamic has changed with an injection of youth that I’m sure will hold us in good stead. Another strength I believe in is the number of quality people we have at the Redan Football Netball Club.

IMPROVEMENTS:

(Jarrett): Our midfield depth - we have up to eight blokes we can run through there. We're a lot younger than in previous years – I’m tipping our speed of ball movement will increase and as a result, we hope to be a more attacking side that enables us to hit the scoreboard.

PRE-SEASON TRAINING

(Jarrett): Very pleasing. We've had the Rad Centre (through Lincoln Barnes) on board over the summer working on our strength and conditioning. It's been a lot of fun.

DRAW COMMENTS:

(Jarrett): It's a very even competition - you can't look too much into it.

PLAYER INS:

Lincoln Barnes (Waubra), Nathan Dunstan (Hepburn), Jacob Werts (Bungaree), Gordy McLaughlin (SMW Rovers), Ben McDonald (Waubra).

PLAYER OUTS:

Zac Jenkins (Rokewood), Will Madden (Tiwi Islands), Chris Giampaolo (Rosebud), Keenan Waterbury (WA), Dean Chester (Carisbrook), Jack Jess (Navarre), Pat Britt (Dunnstown), Orren Stephenson (retired)

VFL AFFILIATED PLAYERS:

Cooper Craig-Peters (Footscray)

REDAN PASS MARK:

(Jarrett): Playing finals is always the goal. Promoting our youth.

IMPROVERS: (OUTSIDE OF REDAN)

(Jarrett):Ballarat

FLAG TIP: (OUTSIDE OF REDAN)

(Jarrett): Sunbury

The Scoop on BFNL 2021 Draw

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)!

It's been a busy early transfer window as clubs across the region look to shore up their lists heading into the new year.

Not including the usual exodus of players heading to compete in the Northern Territory FL competition, there has been a steady flow of ins and outs for the McDonald's Ballarat FNL.

Five clubs were active during the November transfer period with reigning premiers East Point signing three players, as did Redan and Melton. North Ballarat added two players and Melton South kicked things off with the one transfer.

Its been a busy period for Central Highlands FL with Creswick leading all clubs, having gained six players from the BFNL.

Ballarat league players have spread themselves far and wide heading to various leagues from the Wimmera to metro competitions.

With the early transfer window now closed, clubs will look to consolidate their lists as pre season training steps up before Christmas. The main clearance period will reopen on February 1st 2021 through to 30th June 2021.
