They scored 2 goals in a game of footy. That’s a disaster for any side.
Not when the opposition only scores 6. West had the chance to make it a 5 point game early in the last.

Hoes have only scored 11 goals in our last two games so we may be well off threatening the good sides and maybe West are competitive midfield.
 
Each week people new to the league like myself are seeing players we’ve never seen before.
This won’t come as a shock to most of you more experienced NFNL BigFooty pundits, but geez Jai Burns makes the game look easy. What a star. Played a ripping game yesterday.

Great for the OPs to notch up another win and quietly go about our business.

I’ve also watched a lot of footy over the journey and can’t recall seeing a win after the siren two weeks in a row, as happened with our 2s 😄
 
Looking forward to a match report from Chump. Looks to have been a big tussle, Ivanhoe only kicked away with a couple extra goals in the past but don’t think they had it easy

Sorry Berty I can't help this week as I was not at the game last night due a prior engagement (before the game was swapped to a night fixture).

I hear it was pretty scrappy/contested in dewy conditions with the Hoers down to 1 on the bench half way through the second 1/4. West up for a big game to get a win, so pretty happy to pinch the away game 4 points and head into a bye before huge games v Mernda and Turtles next.

Good week for upsets with my Coburg Lions ending their losing streak, West Coast surprising Freo in the Derby, and of course Lalor doing the unthinkable against Kilmore. I was at the Collingwood vs Port game so I didn’t get a chance to see the Bloods game, can someone who watched it please explain how on earth they did it?
I thought even though they’ve recruited well and brought in Whitnall as coach, there was still a long way to go to catch up to the rest of the comp. For them to pull their first win over a team that wasn’t Reservoir or even Heidelberg West is pretty crazy, have to give them major credit there. Too long between drinks. Hopefully the start of something good for the Bloods, the bottom of the bottom division is a pretty bleak place to be so finals within the next few seasons would be awesome to see.

Kilmore were pretty crap tbh not to take anything away from Lalor they took advantage and were pretty much in front all day. Just hanged on in the end and scrapped a win.
 
Kilmore are in a transition period, they are finding their feet after losing a lot of experience after a couple of finals series. It’ll take time but you don’t want to fall too far backwards.

Lalor I think Lance said bought in 11-12 new senior players which make a huge difference. Good on them, I thought they were zero chance to win a game.

D3 in great shape.
 
It's an outstanding effort from all involved at Lalor and congratulations to all the volunteers and staff who have seen a win for their efforts thus far. When you consider the commentary around they should merge, fold, the imbalance they make on the draw, etc and they put out a performance like that to get a win - then well done Bloods. I am sure calm heads at Lalor would have enjoyed the win immensely on Saturday, but will have them focused again on the next opportunity.

A tight game between West and Ivanhoe, OP's knock off Stars and the Lalor win makes Division 3 a great division to be a part of right now. Things get interesting as the weather changes, injuries impact and sides learn more about each other, but enjoying the close nature of most of the games in the competition.

In saying that ...... Mernda v Epping / West at home to Lakers / Kilmore v OP's up the hume look great match ups this week - huge!

Having a quick look through the team from memory there is 12 new players listed for Lalor in the weekends game and 10 from last year.
