THE Ingle Farm Bulldogs have sounded a warning to the competition with a resounding 20-goal win over Mawson Lakes at Rowe Park.
THE Ingle Farm Bulldogs have sounded a warning to the competition with a resounding 20-goal win over Mawson Lakes at Rowe Park.
Keegan Brinkley was unstoppable for the Dogs with seven, while electric on-baller Peter “Boner” Bone found form that will stand the Dogs in good stead.
The return of former three-time best and fairest winner “Big Ginge” Stevey G has been key to the Dogs’ great start.
Coach Paul Manuel was thrilled with the performance and the spread of 11 goal kickers. On a tough day for the Lakes Darren King was again their chief contributor.
Elizabeth followed up its Round 1 destruction of Trinity with a commanding win over Fitzroy to the tune of close to 10 goals.
The Eagles had no less than 10 contributors on the scoreboard with Austin Reeves best afield kicking three. He was well supported by Brayden Abbott.
Corey Wheadon and small forward Chad Bourke also chimed in with three each for the Roys, with Damien Harvey their best player.
As expected West Croydon went to Houghton Memorial Oval and came away with the points after a strong seven-goal win.
Jack Turner kicked five while Trent Pursche continued his good form with 4. Brad Wilson and Lee Walsh were unstoppable around the contests for the Hawks. The Raiders were happy with Jesse Schulz’s game while Tyson “JK” Roling slotted three.
A much-improved performance by Trinity wasn’t enough to stop Brahma Lodge from notching its first win of the season by 22 points.
Darrell Mcintyre had a big impact kicking seven sausage rolls but it was Darren Huitema and Dylan Brooks who stood out for the Lodge.
Travis Eves had a great game for TOS kicking four while Will Wheeler and Andrew Pounendis offered plenty for the home side.
If Pulteney had indeed snuck under the radar as some have suggested, its 61-point demolition job of Salisbury West will make the comp take notice.
The Tigers might count themselves lucky Pulteney couldn’t kick straight as they had a whopping 26 more scoring shots and the damage could have been much greater.
Josh Giddings kicked five for the winners while their better players were also Tom Laity and “Benno” Frick.
For the Times Alec Maidment battled all day whilst Derek Newchurch hit the scoreboard with four majors.
