We have finally done what we have been hoping for all season, and that is put together two good games in a row. Another brilliant week for the Wombats see us move into the top 4, as we hope to maintain our consistency and finish the season strongly. Schulz led the way with 8 goals, while Prestia and Shiel were once again prominent in the midfield. Best and fairest votes: 3. Schulz
2. Prestia

The Wombat's third win on the trot sees us maintain our position in 4th spot, a great position to be at this stage of the season. Mid-season recruit Malceski was once again in the best, with great support from the in-form Franklin and Swallow. Best and Fairest Votes: 3. Malceski

Malceski's had a wonderful impact for the Wombats, Lenny.

He's a quality player - happy he is doing well for you. Somehow missed this post Chris. He's been a wonderful pick-up, hopefully he can keep it up!

We came up against Marble Bar this week very keen to get our fourth win in a row. Marble Bar have some quality players and we weren't about to take them lightly. A hard-fought contest saw us come again with an easy win, with the Misfits hurt by injuries. David Swallow was our standout player amongst an average performance by our mob, but 4 points is 4 points. Best and Fairest votes: 3. D.Swallow 2. Cox 1. Pittard

Coming up against Foul Bay is arguably the toughest ask in the ORFFA. Quality is all over the park for the Chickens, and they taught us a football lesson today. Despite that, our boys had a red-hard crack and Malceski, Bastinac, Franklin and Lycett can all hold their heads high for their efforts. <table cellspacing='10] <td rowspan='2]Def: [span id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADef1_6]Lynden Dunn [span id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADefScore1_6]47 [span id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADef2_6]Nick Malceski [span style='color: #ff0000;' id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADefScore2_6]123 <td class='Emergency][span id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADefB1_6]Courtenay Dempsey [span id='dnn_ctr718_View_rptFixture_ADefScoreB1_6]0

A very lucky win for the Wombats. The Wombats were lackluster from last weeks bruising encounter with Foul Bay, but that is no excuse for what we served up today. This match came right down to the wire and we were very fortunate to get the points. Buddy continued his brilliant form but had limited support around him.

Unfortunately we couldn't turn around our poor form from last week, and Mount Beauty made us pay. We were outplayed in the midfield and they had far more depth than we did. We need to turn this around quickly before finals. Prestia returned to form with a solid game. Best and Fairest votes

A second loss in a row and a third straight poor performance sees us in a tough position leading into finals. We now need to assess our game plan immediately to have an impact this coming week. We missed out on a top 4 position and have finished 5th, which is a great overall effort on the positive side. Bastinac was the standout performer.

Well after a big week on the track after some poor form from our lads, we now have the pleasure of naming our team to take on Darraweit in the first week of the finals! This time last year our journey ended here after a loss to a brilliant Foul Bay line-up, but I think the experience from playing in the finals last year will hold us in good sted this year. We don't have it quite us tough this year in terms of our opponent, but Darraweit is a quality side and capable of producing the goods consistently, so we know this will be a hard fought contest. Good luck Chris. TEAM: In: Watson, Lycett Out: L.Thomas, O'Shea Def: Malceski, R.Murphy, S.D.Thompson, D.Swallow Mid: Watson, Prestia, Bastinac, D.Shiel Ruc: Cox Fwd: Schulz, Franklin, Higgins, Jenkins (L.Thomas) Int: Dunn, Lycett (O'Shea) Team news: The timely return of Jobe Watson immediately improves our depth, but gives the selectors a few headaches. O'Shea very sitff to miss after showing he is capable of getting the job done, while L.Thomas makes way for the in-form Lycett who gets his chance after consecutive good weeks in the 2's.

A brilliant solo performance from Buddy Franklin has put us into a preliminary final next week against Foul Bay! Wonderful news for the club as we strive for our first premiership. Darraweit were hurt by injuries going into the game and we capitalised, running out comfortable winners. Although we will celebrate the victory, we know we still have a lot to work on if we're a chance to upset the reigning premiers. Best and Fairest votes:

A brilliant all-round display was enough to hold-off a strong Foul Bay outfit in a cracking game.

Special mentions to Lycett, Malceski, R.Murphy, Swallow, Bastinac, Shiel and Schulz who were all excellent in the grand final, but another congratulations to Iron Knob on achieving the ultimate goal.
