Box Hill North used the week’s rest to freshen up as they registered a hard-fought seven-point win against Manningham Cobras at Koonung Reserve. Despite inaccuracy in front of goal (7.13), the Demons were able to hold on for the win and subsequently fourth position on the ladder.

Westbourne Grammarians’ power forward Dale Collins recorded 100 goals for the season in his side’s 152-point win against Masala at WJ Turner Reserve. Needing three at the beginning of the day, Collins kicked five and brought up his tonne from just 14 games this season.

In Division 4’s match of the round, North Brunswick defeated Mt Lilydale by 33 points at Mt Lilydale Mercy College Sporting Ovals. Trailing by four points at half time, the Bulls piled on nine goals to three in the second half to run out comfortable winners and go a game clear of the Rams in fifth spot on the ladder.

Parkside kept an unlikely finals campaign alive with a 74-point win against South Mornington at Pitcher Park. Potter was the star of the show for the Red Devils, kicking five of his side’s 20 goals. The Red devils sit one game outside the top six with six wins from their 13 matches.
