Sunshine, fast-tracks and high-scores!

Round 2 of the Division 2 section saw the highest scores of the weekend with three teams finding their way to 20+ goals and triple digit victories.

Tommy Hunter’s Brunswick produced a stellar display in the second half as part of their 151 point win over Power House. Tom Wilson helped himself to 5 goals as part of the 18 goal second half onslaught along with the Angus twins (Ross and Coverdale) kicking 4 goals each.

Aaron Christensen is making himself right at home in the Brunswick line up with 3 majors and being named the best player on the ground.

The team takes to the road after the Easter bye to face off against Yarra Old Grammarians with the aim to make it 3 in a row.

In the second of the 100+ results Old Paradians claimed their first win of the season over Manningham. After setting up the game in the opening half with 8 goals to 1, they extended their prowess with 12 goals to 3 after half-time.

Four goals to Nathan Archangel and Luke Brock helped the travellers get back in the black with their % after last week’s 86 point loss that started their season. Nathan Fraser in his first outing for the year was named in the best.

The victory sets up a big clash against MHSOB in Round 3, after both of these sides finished in the top 4 at the abandonment of the 2021 season.

The other top 4 side in 2021 West Brunswick are on the winners list in style after a 5 point loss in Round 1. A 19 point lead at quarter time extended to 84 points at halftime with 10 goals in the second quarter.

It was a day out for Luke Butler at the Magpies kicking 7 goals up forward. David Ferrier had a best on ground display kicking 3 goals himself as did Bill Irving. Ryan Pollard was the shining light for Yarra Old Grammarians with 3 goals of his own.

Aquinas have gone 2-0 to start the season with a 20 point win over Bulleen Templestowe. It was a 1 point ball-game at half-time, Aquinas extended that lead to 16 points at 3 quarter time. It could have been much greater however inaccuracy dominated with 1.10.16 in the third term.

2 goals apiece to Billy O’Loughlin, Harry Dwyer, Josh Clinton helped Aquinas to the victory which Jack Cowell followed up his 2 goals last week with another 3 for the Ants on Saturday.

They’ll play host to Manningham when footy resumes post-Easter while Aquinas will welcome Power House to the college for their third straight home game.

In the closest game of the round MHSOB made it 2 from 2 with a 12 point win over Ivanhoe AFC. Storming home in the final term, plus a bag of 6 from Ash Close wasn’t enough to get the Hoers over the line, however it extends his lead at the top of the sharpshooters table with 13 for the season.

Ashan Wijayakumara kicked 4 for the victors while Julian Eimutis, in his first game with MHSOB since coming across from Collegians was named the best player on the ground.

Ivanhoe will take to the field under the Saturday night lights in Round 3, playing host to West Brunswick, will it signal the debut of Scott Selwood? We’ll have to wait and see!
