Hawks flying into finals with 111-point Shark cull in Division 3

Aquinas continued their golden run on the path to finals as they defeated Albert Park by 20 points at Aquinas College. Matthew Prouse was named best afield for the winning side, while Jack Price and Patrick O’Leary snagged three goals each.

Hawthorn looks as good as any side throughout the competition at this point of the season, winning their sixth match in a row with a 111-point demolition of Eley Park Sharks. Jess Kenneally ran riot and kicked five in a best-ground-performance, while Richard Ogge top scored with six majors.

In what could easily be the grand final preview, Emmaus St Leos defeated West Brunswick by seven points at Bennettswood Sports Ground. Trailing at every break throughout the match, the Animals rallied in the fourth to kick three goals to two and run over the top of the second-placed Westies. The league’s top two leading goal kickers did the damage for the Animals, with Christopher Beluszar and Ryan Harding kicking seven goals between them.

Power House made it two wins a row when they defeated Glen Eira by 18 points at Packer Reserve. Luke Stubbs took his season tally to 34 with six majors for Power House, while Daniel Entwistle snagged four for the Saints.

Swinburne University moved up to fifth on the Division 3 ladder with a 42-point win against UHS-VU at St James Park. Leading by just 19 points at the half time break, the Razorbacks piled on seven goals to four in the last two terms to gain a much-needed percentage boost.
