DEMONS RETAIN BRUCE LIGHTBODY SHIELD
EAGLES STARTING TO SOAR Hatherleigh 12.11 (83) d Kalangadoo 6.5 (41) To this point in 2017, especially on the back of two huge wins over lone time rival Port MacDonnell and previously undefeated Kongorong, it looked like no one was quite in Kalangadoo’s class – enter Hatherleigh. The Eagles were missing key personnel early but had been building nicely for this round nine clash and they basically beat the Pies at their own game a flying start and relentless pressure. Öbviously they have been the benchmark so we were pretty pleased we put together a four quarter effort,” Hatherleigh coach Jason Faulkner said. The Eagles built a 28 point quarter time lead and were able to build on that and stifle the normally high scoring Magpies. Öur defence was terrific,” Faulkner said. Änd the midfield worked really hard to not allow any easy entries.” Gerard McGrath led that backline at centre half forward in a masterful display of intercept marking, while Jack Sullivan and Joe Rayson continued their stellar form of the past month as Sam Waring continues to grow into his ruck role. Chris Mules and Matt Fatchen earned the praise of the Eagles coach, while Nathan Reeves played somewhat of a lone hand up forward. “We’ve got a tough month now with Port MacDonnell and Kongorong and we want to try and get some more wins on the board because getting those wins at the end of the season can be tough,” Faulkner said.
MOSSIES PUNISH SAINTS Mt Burr 46.30 (306) d Nangwarry 1.1 (7) Nangwarry continues to conceded 300-plus points and this weekend it was Mt Burr enjoying the spoils as the Mossies secured a 299 point victory. Fifteen players hit the scoreboard for Mt Burr with Jack Gregory bagging 10, while coach Tom Renzi led the way in the rout with a best on ground performance. Andrew Russell, Ben Dinnison and Arron Heron continue to be the most influential Saints, while Joel Virtanen was again the only player to hit the scoreboard for Nangwarry.
MURPHIES HANG ON IN NAILBITER Glencoe 15.12 (102) d Tananoola 15.10 (100) A six goal haul from Bradley Mitchell has helped Glencoe just sneak over the line in a nailbiter with Tananoola. After a stirring win in round eight, the Murphies looked to have found some consistency and were favoured to take the points over a rebuilding Tigers but the clash was basically an arm wrestle before Glencoe was able to secure a 24 point three quarter time buffer. The Tigers, led by Tom Holmes, Ben Chant and Brayden Lane, who also bagged six majors, fought back hard in the last though and in the end some defensive efforts from Dane Paproth and Adam Price could well have been the difference with the final margin only two points in favour of Glencoe.

Port MacDonnell 20.14 (134) d Kongorong 9.10 (64) It was the battle for the Bruce Lightbody Memorial Shield at the weekend at Kongorong – a piece of silverware the Hawks had not laid their hands on in some time. But this was a different Kongorong – this was a Kongorong sitting second on the ladder – a heavy loss to top ranked Kalangadoo the only blemish in 2017. Port MacDonnell also entered the clash on the back of the bye and before that a demoralising loss to the Pies but with some players back into the line-up and a sense of pride in their record in the annual shield battle with their fierce rival, the Demons came out firing and never allowed the Hawks to challenge. “We had seven blokes come into our side for the match,” Port MacDonnell coach Ben McGregor said. “We brought in a lot of all guys and we thought that would stretch them.” And stretch them it, a six goal to none opening quarter setting up the 70 point victory as key talls Jake Turner and Tim Sullivan had a day out, stamping their authority early in the clash. “Jake (Turner)k kicked three in the first quarter and Tim (Sullivan) took some big marks at centre half forward,” McGregor said. “We were very clean with the ball and Jake (Turner) and Tim (Sullivan) made the most of every opportunity.” Missing key onballers Zack Williams and Mark Smith was always going to test the Demons’ depth “But we were able to cover that and won some really good contested ball,” McGregor said. Plenty of contribution from the half back line as well with Jacob Simmonds showing plenty and Jacob Langdon not losing a one on one contest. The return after a month off of Matt Roscow to the midfield was also telling. Ït was a pretty good effort across the board,” McGregor said. “We had no passengers and that’s what you need in the big games.” McGregor said the Demons were wary of the Hawks, who had been following them in the draw and consistently beating sides by much more convincing margins than his boys. “They seemed a step ahead of us in that regard.” Matt Cordy won plenty of possession while Bronson Saffin was still damaging and Harry Evans battled hard all day for the home side.
