FOOTBALL REVIEW – Round 2 Rivalry round is done and dusted with Traralgon defeating Morwell on ANZAC eve to complete the split round. It seems like an age ago since Moe travelled to Maffra in the Gippsland Live clash of the week. The match was for high stakes even this early in the season with the Eagles looking to avoid an 0 and 2 start to 2021. Maffra had arguably the better of the play early with Ed Carr dominating the first part of proceedings for Tom Barr of Drouin shrugs a tackle in his sides Western derby win over Warragul Maffra, they couldn’t convert on the score board fancied Sale right down to the wire at Bairnsdale which left it open for Moe to finish the quarter City Oval.

As has been the case for some reason at second quarter and it was Kristian Jaksch who Bairnsdale City Oval over the past few seasons was providing an unstoppable target up forward. both sides accuracy in front of goal was a real The big man seemingly on the end of everything feature. The upset was really on when Bairnsdale that come his way with the midfield through Cam led Sale in the final term with McCarrey and Ethan Manuel and Jordan Ceppi hitting him in space. Some inaccuracy from the Lions kept the Eagles East having 7 majors between them to three somewhat in the game with 10 shots bringing quarter time. The class of sale shone through 5 majors for the term. Mitch Bennett was able though and for the second week in a row a strong to kick a late set shot goal to get Maffra on the last term saw them home against their East board on the brink of half time. The 33-point half Gippsland rivals.

The premiership quarter setup the game with Drouin finally able to get some reward putting 5 goals on the board to set up a 4-goal break leading into he last. It would prove a bridge to far for the Gulls with Drouin coming away 29-point winners.

MILESTONE MATCHES

ROUND 3 200 senior games Kane Martin (Sale) Sale Football/Netball Club midfielder Kane Martin will achieve another major milestone of his career when he plays his 200th senior game for Sale at Bairnsdale next Saturday, 17th April 2021. Having great ball handling ability and disposal skills, Martin has been an outstanding player for the Magpies in a stellar football career that began over twelve years ago. Martin has notched up many achievements the most notable being the 2017 Trood Award & Rodda Medal which he shared with Moe’s James Blaser and Wonthaggi’s Jack Blair, all polling 21 votes that year. In winning the Trood Award and Rodda Medal he became the sixth Sale senior player to do so, the others being Bob Mason (twice), John Nix, Adrian Cox, Luke Collins, and Jack Lipman. His football career began in 2004 playing in Sale’s Under 16s premiership side. He went on to play with the Gippsland Power in 2007 the same year that he played his first senior game for the Magpies. In 2007 he was named the Magpies Rookie of the Year and in 2008 won the club’s senior coach’s award. He has also won four club senior best and fairest awards in 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017. He also took out the Sale Past Players Most Valuable Player Award in 2011 and 2016.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW – Round 3 After the blockbuster matches in the first two rounds spanning over 4 weeks it will be great to get some routine back into round 3 with all five matches on the one weekend. The Gippsland Live match of the round sees Sale host the Warragul Football Netball Club. Two sides that are at opposite ends of the table clash in what pans out to be a vital match for both teams. Sale’s premiership aspirations hinge on ensuring Jarryd Blair has made a massive impact for the undefeated Wonthaggi Power they can finish with a double chance ad push Power seem cherry ripe to change those fortunes for that minor premiership. Matches like this are today though. They have added depth across must wins for the Magpies. The Gulls are also in every line and the development of their young the position where a 0–3 start could nearly see players like Josh Schultz, Josh Bates and Harry them out of the finals race early. Sale has won the Dawson combined with the addition of two top last 5 meetings between the two sides and on 10 Gippsland League players in jack and Jarryd paper look the stronger but the Gulls have shown Blair see them sitting at two wins after two games. they can stick with it in games so far. Sale have That’s not to say the Tigers haven’t also improved on the flip side waited until late to stamp their and have some great young talent that they are authority and seal victories. Jordan Dessent has drawing on themselves. The issue that Morwell been kicking goals for the Pies and will need to will have against the better sides is the avenue do so again with his brother still missing through through to goal.

will have them optimistic its going in the right direction. Bringing in the key players they have made a massive difference against Maffra. Kristian Jaksch was dominant and could have kicked 7 or 8 goals, Lucas Forato was tough around the clearances, Cam Manuel’s run and clean handling around the stoppages was noticeable, Simon Harris gave frequent first use and Declan Keilty’s athleticism saw plenty of ball cut off across half back. Bairnsdale showed plenty last week and are probably going under the radar a bit. This is the first season in a while where they haven’t pulled a big marquee signing or two from Melbourne but it hasn’t seem to be a huge factor over the first two weeks with their seemingly endless supply of local Sale go into round 3 undefeated after a come from behind win against Bairnsdale talent from their junior programs stepping up. It’s be more efficient around the ground. They looked been a tough trip for Bairnsdale in the past and it okay early against Leongatha at home but fell looks like it will be again.

They cannot do the and will be looking to score early and keep a gap same against the reigning premiers if they are to and if Moe come out like they did against Maffra win. Maffra may be the slight favourites in this one. we could see a high scoring game which will be great for the fans. The final match of the round sees Leongatha host Drouin. Both sides sit with one win each coming For a round 3 match stakes don’t come much into round 3 after Drouin managed to level their higher for Traralgon and Maffra for different ledger with a win over rivals Warragul last week. reasons.
