Mornington FNC

MPNFL Division One

Mount Eliza FNC

MORNINGTON Football Club had a rather disappointing 2018 season. They finished eighth and they only won four games. The lack of wins meant that Mornington FC did not make the finals. A highlight in Mornington’s season was thrashing Rosebud by 51 points in a compelling victory. Jackson Calder was the team’s leading goal scorer with 41 goals in 18 matches. Jackson averaged 2.28 goals per game. Senior Coach, Simon Goosey said “We had a lot of things go our way at the start of the season but we unfortunately had a lot of our key players injured. We played fairly well throughout the season we just couldn’t finish our chances in close games” “Our goal is to play division one finals footy.”

MT ELIZA Football Club had a brilliant season. They won 13 games, made the finals and finished second on the ladder. Mt Eliza had a few amazing performances throughout the season. They had a total of six games were they scored over 100 points. On the August 4, Mt Eliza played Rosebud and destroyed them by 85 points. Overall Mt Eliza had a very successful season, which should come as no surprise because of the clubs mostly prestigious history throughout the decade.

Frankston Bombers FNC

RIGHT up until the last kick of the year, the Sorrento Sharks were enjoying a very good season, winning 15 games and making the grand final. They enjoyed having some scary firepower up forward, with Leigh Poholke top scoring with 54 goals in 20 matches. The Sharks suffered a rough loss to start the year but bounced back to finish on top of the ladder.

THE Frankston Bombers endured a mediocre season in 2018, only winning nine games which meant they missed out on the finals. Star player Jarrad Grant, formerly of Western Bulldogs and Gold Coast, was experimented in a few different positions but ultimately could not find the form expected of an ex-AFL player. The Frankston Bombers finished sixth on the ladder, a game out of a finals spot. Playing coach Beau Muston said to improve in 2019, his side must “sharpen up for division one footy and not miss our chances in close games.” “We have recruited some new players to hopefully strengthen our squad for the upcoming season,” he said. “Our goal is to make the finals and play proper division one footy”. They will be helped by the signing of young ruckman Harry Prior and speedy half back Sam Pickess.

Dromana FNC

Edi-Asp Sporting Club

DROMANA had an unbelievable season. They destroyed almost every team in the competition. Dromana only lost two games throughout the regular season and the finals, winning the other 19 and the grand final. Dromana finished in 1st place and earned a well-deserved promotion to the division 1 football league. Ethan Johnstone was the leading goal scorer with 54 goals whacked in, in 20 matches.

EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE had a very good season. They won 12 games and made the finals. However, they were eliminated from the finals in their first game. Edithvale-Aspendale finished fourth on the ladder, just behind the Pines. The leading goal scorer on this team was Michael Bussey with 21 goals in 15 matches. Senior coach Graeme Yeats said “Our season was a tough one. We underachieved in the finals, we were kicked out in the first week and we failed our expectations”. “We have made a few key signings to hopefully help us in the 2019 season. Tom Lamb and Callan Van Dyke are two of our promising players.”
