The Burra is back

By JARROD POTTER

SFL DIVISION 2 – ROUND 10
BACK on top with a bang, Keysborough decimated Doveton Eagles to the tune of 93 points.
In the end wayward kicking amounted for more Burra headaches than the visitors as Ryan Goodes’ men sprayed 18.21 (129) to 5.6 (36). Seven-goals-eight in the final term is no fitting score line, but it would be more than enough to eclipse the visitors with Tyson King (9 goals) starring back up forward. The midfield brigade Daniel Morlan, Geoff Humphreys and Richard Minney all impressed. Keysborough is away at Murrumbeena this round while Doveton Eagles host Caulfield.
Springvale Districts made it a Dandy day across the shire knocking over Highett by 24 points. Lachlan Morrey (6 goals) was best afield alongside Stephen Bagley, Ben Stacey and Daniel Wilson. The Demons now have a tough outing against premiership contender Oakleigh District.
SFL DIVISION 3
ENDEAVOUR Hills created the upset of the season so far, knocking over Mount Waverley by 28 points.
Last year’s grand finalists were no match for the might of the Falcons with Mitch Whatman (3 goals) helping push out the margin through the second term. The hard-run from Ben Graham, Neil Peake and Matt Peake helped seal the deal and push the Falcons to seventh before its home clash against Dandenong.
Sandown beat out Hallam by 20 points while both Lyndale and Dandenong were thumped to the tune of approximately 100 points.
VAFA DIVISION 2 – ROUND 10
EARNING a streak of a different, more unwanted kind, St John’s has gone from unbeaten to two losses in a row following a 33-point defeat via Northern Blues. In a goal-fest both sides booted massive tallies, but in the end the efforts from Aaron Thornton (5 goals), Glenn Costas (4 goals) and Dylan Webb weren’t enough to knock over the Blues. St John’s sits second in Division 2 and faces Melbourne High School Old Boys at home.
VAFA DIVISION 4
Masala was gallant against Chadstone, but couldn’t catch up the 27-point margin. Matt Jacobs (3 goals) and Dean Maher impressed for the Tigers. Masala next host Mt Lilydale.
