Not even our biggest loss though. That was against then top of the table Tathra in 2013. Tathra 47.20.302… Eden 4.3.27. One of those 4 goals, I set up with a great handball.

A few big changes this week as the team gets themselves in tip top shape to tackle our first finals series IN: May, Longer, Gleeson OUT: Harbrow, Mumford, Riewoldt D: Steven May, Tom Langdon, Nick Haynes, Alex Witherden (Harbrow) M: Patrick Dangerfield, Josh Kelly, Zac Merrett, Josh P. Kennedy (Selwood) R: Billy Longer F: Charlie Dixon, Joe Daniher, Jamie Elliott, Martin Gleeson/OOP (Trengove/OOP) I: Jack Steven, Jared Polec (Pittard) Some will say the Buffaloes are getting ahead of themselves resting quality players for what was already going to be a tight contest but the board stands by the selfless calls of players like the Big Mummy who are putting individual glory of awards like the coveted Big Tap behind ultimate team success.
Late change has seen Steven May drop out of this week's squad. Pittard impressed at the final training session of the week in a new forward role and with the coach keen to add some flexibility to the squad before finals the call has been made to add May to the group of players resting up before the serious stuff kicks off in a couple of weeks time. May drops out, Gleeson takes his spot in defence and Pittard jumps off the sub interchange bench and into the forward line.

The Burracudas are just hoping to survive this round as the clouds roll in and the storm builds.
Pearcedale Panthers DEF: H.Shaw - J.Howe - B.Smith - S.Savage (B.Reid) MID: L.Parker - B.Ellis - L.Hunter - D.Mundy (D.Thomas) RUC: T.Nankervis FWD: R.Burton - J.Caddy - A.Neal-Bullen - C.Curnow (D.Towers) INT: C.Daniel - J.Melksham IN: J.Melksham OUT: L.Jetta (inj)
Some positional changes for The Barcrawlers sees Taylor Adams move to midfield, replaced in defence by Tom Barrass, while Ryan Bastinac goes to the Interchange.
Round 19 (16) - Korumburra Blowflys vs Eden Whalers The Blowflys (9th) welcome the Whalers (14th) to the Terrordome this week in another must win game for KBFC if they want to play finals this year. The locals will be pumped and not so quietly confident for this one after their much loved side (with their proverbial backs to the wall) handed out a savage beat down in Ararat vs the 5th placed Armadillos last week. Still no Todd Goldstein!? Injuries to superstar forwards Michael Walters and Steve Johnson will hurt the Flys scoring power but have opened up spots for youngsters Cockatoo and Ainsworth. The return of the great Gary Ablett, who seemingly prefers to just play home games these days, should definitely help. There have been some whispers around the local watering holes that the bustling behemoth Braydon Preuss is a chance for a late call up to play his first game for the mighty Blowflys. IN : G. Ablett, B. Ainsworth, N. Cockatoo OUT : A. McDonald-Tipungwuti (rested) M. Walters (knee - season) S. Johnson (knee) D - S. Docherty, L. Hodge, J. Hunt, J. Webster (EMG A. McDonald-Tipungwuti) M - R. Sloane, G. Ablett, B. Goddard, S. Menegola (EMG B. Hartung) R - S. Darcy F - C. Hooker, N. Cockatoo, G. Hewett, B. Ainsworth (EMG B. Preuss) I/C - L. Picken, J. Redden (EMG Z. Fisher)
Pakenham lineup B: Simpson, JJ, Mullett, Duryea. (Brand) M: Gaff, Sidebum, Newnes, Watson R: Bellboy F: Bud, Hogan, Sinclair, Carlisle. (Moore) I: Setterfield, Hughes In, Setterfield, Carlisle, Hughes Out, Roo, Vardy, Blicavs
The Hughenden Prairie Dogs team for round 19 against the reigning Premier is as follows:- Def: Callum Mills, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Ricky Henderson, Griffin Logue (Cedric Cox) Mid: Callan Ward, Dylan Shiel, Clayton Oliver, Kieren Jack (Levi Greenwood) Ruc: Bradley Sheppard (oop) Fwd: Luke Breust, Jefferey Garlett, Elliott Yeo, Tim Membrey (Brennan Cox) Int: Liam Shiels, Sam Kerridge (Kyle Langford) Could this be a win at home for the P Dogs who have struggled all year or another false hope when the undermanned Cudas come to play.
