2 www.afl vic.com.au PREVIEW SEMI FINAL PREVIEW: EASTERN RANGES v NORTHERN KNIGHTS Who will meet competition favourite Geelong Falcons in a Preliminary Final – Eastern Ranges or Northern Knights? AFTER seemingly being the main challenger to Geelong the Knight’s better players as was Jake Kalaj and Sam Falcons, Eastern Ranges now fi nds itself in a fi ght to keep Switkowski. alive its season. And, the encouraging aspect is that Northern didn’t have Dandenong Stingrays consigned the Ranges to a cut-throat to rely on its Vic Metro representatives Lennon, Marcus Semi Final clash against Northern Knights with its 43-point Bontempelli, Hugh Curnowa and Jesse Tardio to carry the Qualifying win. club. It is a match that Eastern must quickly move on from if it’s Eastern will gain some comfort from the fact it defeated to hold out the rampaging Knights. Northern during the home and away season, albeit back Northern comes into the Semi Final on the back of a in Round 4. crushing 58-point victory against Gippsland Power. Much has happened since that early encounter. Certainly, It was the Knights’ seventh win from its past nine games the direction of the two clubs has changed dramatically. with its two losses coming against Oakleigh Chargers (18-points) and Murray Bushrangers (three points). While Northern has struck form and momentum at the right end of the season, Eastern has to fi nd a way to regroup after losing its past two games. Calder dealt the Ranges a wake-up call with a 47-point defeat in the last home and away game and then Dandenong delivered a reality check last week. Admittedly, Eastern has been without star midfi elder Mitch Honeychurch the past two games, but he hasn’t played now since Round 15. While the inclusion of Honeychurch will provide a much needed spark, the Ranges can’t rely on one player to lift them into the Preliminary Final. Too much was left for too few against Dandenong. And, in most part it was left to the usual suspects – Ben Cavarra and Michael Apeness – to fl y the fl ag for Eastern. The Ranges will need an overall contribution if they’re to stop the charging Knights, which ended Gippsland’s season with a minimum of fuss. Northern’s dominance could be seen in many facets outside the fact it had 32 scoring shots to the Power’s 14. The margin could easily have blown out beyond 10 goals had the Knights’ conversion been better. While star forward Ben Lennon led the way with three goals, Northern had 11 individual goal kickers. Rover Billy Murphy, playing just his second game since the start of June, provided Northern with plenty of energy and drive. The two Josh’s – Iacobaccio and Turner – were among

Murray kicked just two goals over the fi nal three quarters as Western clawed its way back in the match to turn a 15-point three-quarter defi cit into a nine point win. Western’s self-belief was apparent as it kicked 4.3 to Murray’s 0.3 in the last quarter to register a deserved win. Signifi cantly, Western owns a 7-5 record in those tight games. Vic Metro representative Jake Greiser shone for the Jets, just as he had all season. Greisher was ably supported by David Iaccarino, who kicked three goals, Lachlan Hickey, Corey Ellis and Harley Walshe. Apart from its close games against Western, Calder has played in only two other games, including a one-point win against Geelong in Round 16. But, Calder, which fi nished off the season winning fi ve of its last six games, received a jolt last week when Geelong completely outplayed it in the Qualifying Final. After matching the Falcons in the fi rst quarter, the Cannons fell away in uncharacteristic fashion. The Cannons will be looking for a lift all over the ground with Vic Metro representatives Reilly O’Brien and Jake Lever, who both played well against Geelong, as well as Jason Cooke and Jake Owen leading the way. Expect the Cannons to rebound. It has little alternative, if they don’t the season will be over. It promises to be yet another enthralling match-up between the Cannons and Jets.

After a couple of close defeats near the end of the home GEELONG FALCONS 13.11 (89) defeated and away season, the Falcons reaffi rmed its status CALDER CANNONS 7.7 (49) as fl ag favorites. One of those losses was against Calder, which dealt Geelong a one-point defeat in Round 16. The Falcons ensured there was to be no repeat of the result as they were clearly the better team throughout the Qualifying Final. Geelong’s defensive pressure was outstanding as they suffocated the Cannons’ ability to run, carry and score with any regularity or effi ciency. After allowing three goals in the fi rst term, Geelong held Calder to four goals for the rest of the match. The Falcons took charge in the second quarter when they turned its two-point defi cit into a 19-point half time lead then burst open the match in the third quarter. With its Vic Country representatives Joe Maishman, James Tsitas, Fraser Fort, Hugh Goodard and Patrick McCartin all contributing, Geelong consigned the Qualifying Final to history. But, it wasn’t only its recognized prime movers that set up the victory. Sam Russell, Reid Adams, Scott Dixon and George Cameron all played their roles. Goddard, who kicked three goals, has now kicked goals in all his seven games and multiple goals in six of them. He shared the goal kicking honors with McCartin and Dixon.

Again, it was left to Ben Cavarra to ignite Eastern and as industrious as he was there wasn’t the necessary support. Power forward/ruckman Michael Apeness also was a telling contributor while defender Daniel Nielson played his best game for the season.

Murray found their rhythm mid way through the quarter and three quick goals from Jydon Neagle, Nick Holman and Bryden Squire gave them the advantage. However, the Jets didn’t let the Bushrangers get away and when Sicily marked and converted from the goal square just before quarter time the difference was cut to 17 points. After a free following fi rst quarter the game changed and became a hotly contested battle with only two goals being scored for the quarter. Murray again got the fi rst of the quarter as Michael Gibbons continued his good form as he goaled on the run. The Jets followed with one of their own when Matt Singleton intercepted a kick from Jackson Clarke. In the third, goals were again hard to come by until a major from Jake Sharp gave Murray a 26-point buffer at the 15 minute mark. But the Jets continued to press and with David
