Seagulls and Tigers still the teams to beat

Barwon Heads smashed a depleted Geelong Amateur by 93 points under lights at Queen’s Park on April 15.

Ammos were missing several senior players for the game, but were no match for the reigning premiers.

The Seagulls handled the slippery conditions far better with Kyle Polley a rock in defence and Brock Close a focal point up forward with three goals.

Ammos fell down badly up forward, but were competitive around the ground.

Ollie Wiltshire was so damaging that Ammos opted to tag the young gun.

The Heads were inaccurate, booting 16.21(117) to 3.4(22).

After a relatively even first half, Torquay pulled away to defeat Modewarre by 61 points.

Jesse Dawson kicked five for the Tigers and Charlie Ham three while Michael Croxford and star onballer James Darke were their busy selves.

Baxter Mensch was named among the best in what is a recruiting coup with the former Geelong West Giant star committing to Torquay for the season after initially signing for Broadbeach in the Queensland Australian Football League.

Mensch was also going to play for Southport in the VFL, but decided to return home and will bolster Torquay’s already strong midfield.

Jeremy Ollis and Josh Finch were gallant for the Warriors.

Dylan Pettingill kicked five goals for Anglesea in a 94-point triumph over Newcomb.

Lachlan Smith and Will Batson each chipped in with three each while Newcomb star Andrew Steele kicked four.

Ocean Grove moved into third place with an 85-point win against Portarlington.

Skipper Joe McDonald was best while Brady Pritchard kicked four and Nathan Down three for the Grubbers.

Stanley Hogan and Dylan O’Brien battled on for the Demons, who now turn their attention to the club’s traditional Anzac Day match against Drysdale.

Drysdale came from behind to defeat Queenscliff in a thriller.

James Breust is in good form heading into Anzac Day with four goals for the Hawks in a low-scoring game which resulted in a six-point win.

Jake Hedley kicked three for the Coutas and Sol Bowtell was named best.
