  • Article Info:
    Congratulations to FERGUS GREENE of the Sandhurst Football Netball Club who is our weekly GYG Player of the Round, brought to you by Premier Data 📈
     
    Whilst not statistically the biggest game of round 18 or the season to date for Fergus, his 4-goal R18 performance sealed the Ron Best Medal for season 2024, as the leading BFNL senior goal kicker, with special thanks to BFNL goal scoring partner Coffee Storm 🥇
     
    Greene has had a superb season in the forward 50 arc, leading the Dragon's to the Minor Premiership. His 2 biggest individual hauls for the season include a 9-goal game in round 4, backed up by a huge 10-goal performance the following week against South Bendigo.
     
    Greene ranks elite for contested mark, goals, forward 50 tackles, scoring efficiency, goal involvements, and scoring shots. Fergus will be a key attacking weapon as the Dragon's intend to make a deep run into September 🏆
     
    With thanks to our partner GYG, each weekly winner receives a free burrito, or bowl with free range grilled chicken, the Mexican fast-food athletes say yes to!

Hungry Dragons fight Gisborne for cup

  • Article Info:

    RUNNER-UP last September, Sandhurst is desperate to grab the Bendigo Advertiser senior footy premiership cup when it takes on Gisborne in Saturday’s Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL grand final.

    The Dragons and Bulldogs will clash from 2.20pm on Queen Elizabeth Oval in View Street.

    At Wednesday night’s media conference in the Dragons’ den, Sandhurst co-coach Bryce Curnow spoke about the hunger generated from last September’s grand final loss to Golden Square.

    “We have worked incredibly hard to gain another chance at winning a premiership,” Curnow said of the effort put in by the players and co non-playing coach Ash Connick.

    It was one-all between the Dragons and the Rob Waters-coached Bulldogs in the home-and-away series.

    When they met in the second semi-final the Rob Waters-coached Gisborne won by 23 points.

    “We had our chances to win the game,” Curnow said.

    “Three goals in the first four minutes really upped the pressure on us.

    “From there we had plenty of the footy, but just didn’t score enough goals.

    “Defensively, Gisborne was better than us.”

    A huge challenge for Sandhurst will be the on-ball duels and centre clearances.

    “Gisborne is incredibly tough to beat in that area,” Curnow said of gun ruckman Braidon Blake and centreman Brad Bernacki who polled 20 votes to tie with Sandhurst captain and gun on-baller/mid Lachlan Tardrew for the Michelsen Medal as league fairest and best.

    “There will be times where Blake will give them first use through his tapwork. We have to work hard to limit his influence.”

    Curnow believes Sandhurst ruckman Connor Sexton is up to to the task, along with Noah Walsh, Lachlan Tardrew, Lachie Hood, and Nick Stagg.

    It will be a big grand final day for Dragons’ defender Isaac Ruff who is co-coach of Sandhurst’s under-18s team with Jarrod Bateson which takes on Gisborne’s young guns.

    Ruff said the Dragons’ leaders and more experienced players such as Nick Stagg and Joel Wharton who marks his 200th game in the grand final played a big part in the preliminary final win.

    He said their influence on the group at three quarter-time against Strathfieldsaye was crucial.

    “We carry the momentum from the win against Storm into a grand final.”

    Ruff’s first year with Sandhurst was the under-18s team in 2016.

    He played his first senior game in 2017 and is part of a tight-knit defence that includes Liam Ireland, Bryce Curnow, Isaac Carracher, James Coghlan and Harrison Free.

    On the coaching front he is incredibly proud of what the under-18s team has done.

    “They had just the one loss in the home-and-away, but Gisborne is playing great footy, too.”

    Since his first senior game with Gisborne in 2017, Jack Reaper has become a crucial part of the Bulldogs’ defence.

    He will be gunning for victory and also to join the “premiership captain’s club”.

    Reaper said watching on at last year’s finals had spurred many of his team-mates.

    “To have seven teams (three footy, four netball) in the grand finals is a fantastic result for the club.”

    After the premiership glory of ’22, Gisborne dropped to the seventh rung.

    “We knew there would be quite a turnover of players after the grand final,” he said.

    The Bulldogs still have 10 players from the ’22 grand final who will play in Saturday’s clash.

    Injuries did not help in last season’s run, but it gave Gisborne a chance to blood many talented youngsters.

    Some of those have kicked on to become key contributors on a consistent basis.

    Among them are Harry Luxmoore across half-forward and Dylan Johnstone on a wing.

    “They are 19 or 20 and have played brilliant footy all season,” Reaper said.

    A Rod Ashman medallist as best afield in Gisborne’s under-18s grand final victory in 2022, Jarrod Ainsworth has seamlessly slotted into a defence led by Reaper, Jed Denahy and Liam Spear.

    A key to the Bulldogs’ victory against the Dragons two weeks ago was a high pressure rating.

    “Sandhurst is a really skillful team and has a lot of running power,” he said of an opposition that includes Cooper Smith and Noah Walsh.

    “We worked really hard to limit the space they could run to.”

    A sign of Gisborne’s desperation was a tally of more than 70 tackles.

    A lot of the focus on beating the Bulldogs is on limiting the impact ruckman Braidon Blake, and on-ballers Brad Bernacki, Flynn Lakey and Jackson Cardillo have on the game.

    “It’s not just about their brilliant skills, but work rate when opponents have control in the play.

    “They work incredibly hard to put pressure on and get back to support the defence.”

    In attack there’s Pat McKenna, Zac Denahy, Jack Scanlon and Harry Luxmoore to capitalise or create scoring chances.

    A tight-knit back six for Gisborne includes Zac Vescovi, Jake Normington and Frank Schipano.

    They face a huge challenge against Sandhurst’s marking power of Ron Best medallist Fergus Greene who has kicked 82 goals so far, along with Cobi Maxted and Lachlan Wright.

    “Jed and Fergus had a great battle in the second semi. It’s one of our most important match-ups.”

    Being a “stingy defence” is what Reaper and all in Gisborne’s back six take great pride in.

    For both teams it’s not just about kicking goals, but also making it tough to be scored against

    Kangaroos bound into another showdown with Dragons

    KANGAROO Flat bounced its way into another showdown with Sandhurst in the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL A-grade netball series.

    The Kangaroos stayed in the premiership race as it dominated Sunday’s first semi-final with Eaglehawk at Queen Elizabeth Oval.

    The Jayden Cowling-coached Roos bounced back from a four-goal loss to Sandhurst in the first semi-final to end the Hawks’ season.

    In a strong four-quarter performance, Kangaroo Flat poured in 66 goals and kept the Two Blues to a tally of 33.

    The Kylie Piercy-coached Eaglehawk had played well to win the elimination final against Strathfieldsaye by five goals, but had few answers to combat the skill and finals experience of the Kangaroo Flat line-up.

    The Roos now take on Sandhurst in Saturday’s preliminary final.

    At stake is the chance to meet Gisborne in the September 21 grand final.

    The Tarryn Rymer-coached Gisborne is on track to claim consecutive premierships after a 51-38 win against Sandhurst in the second semi-final.

    It’s three-nil in favour of the Dragons against Kangaroo Flat so far in ’24.

    Sandhurst has won its matches with the Roos by margins of seven, five and four goals.

    It was a memorable Sunday for Strathfieldsaye on first semi-final day.

    Storm led 61-59 at the final siren.

    Four goals was the difference in B-grade as Kangaroo Flat bounced its way to a 52-48 win against Strathfieldsaye.

    On Saturday it was Gisborne against Sandhurst in four of the five matches played on second semi-final day.

    First on court were Sandhurst and Golden Square in the 17-and-under match.

    Both had identical 15-1 records in the home-and-away series.

    Game three between the Dragons and Bulldogs ended in a 60-39 win for Sandhurst.

    It was three-one in favour of Gisborne against Sandhurst in other grades.

    The teams in red, white and blue advanced to the September 21 grand finals in A-grade, A-reserve and B-reserve.

    The B-grade and B-reserve second semi-finals were closely-fought.

    The Dragons fired their way to a 50-46 win in B-grade.

    In B-reserve it was Gisborne which led 50-45 after the final play.

    Gisborne’s unbeaten run in A-reserve kept rolling as it scored a 43-36 win against the maroon and blue.

    A 51-38 result for Gisborne in A-grade was the Bulldogs’ 14th victory of the season.

    Murphy, English claim footy medals

    GISBORNE’S Jacob Murphy and Sandhurst’s Jack English were victorious in this season’s race for fairest and best in the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL’s reserves and under-18s competitions.

    The calling of the cards was done on Monday night via Radio Fresh fm 101.5 and on Facebook.

    A gun midfielder for Gisborne, Murphy claimed the Alan McDonald Medal for a second time.

    A streak of maxium six votes in the last six rounds of the home-and-away series meant he was a runaway winner of the award on 25 votes.

    Murphy and his team-mates marked a win-loss record of 14-2 as they finished the home-and-away series on top of the ladder.

    The Alan McDonald Medal which honours South Bendigo’s legendary coach of the 1950s has gone Gisborne’s way the past three seasons.

    In 2022 it was Jacob Murphy and team-mate Boyd Nalder who tied for the award.

    Last season Nalder’s ruckwork caught the umpires attention as he was outright winner of the medal.

    A year on and it’s Murphy who will be presented with the medal again at this Sunday night’s Michelsen Medal and Betty Thompson vote count at Bendigo Club.

    Runner-up for the Alan McDonald Medal was Sandhurst’s Jed Zimmer on 15 votes.

    Murphy and Zimmer have plenty more to play for.

    This Saturday it will be Gisborne taking on Strathfieldsaye in the preliminary final.

    Zimmer and his Dragons’ team-mates were first to the grand final after they beat Gisborne in the second semi-final.

    It was a dramatic finish to calling of the cards by Kylie Ellis for the George Symons Medal for the under-18s fairest and best.

    Sandhurst’s Jack English added his name to the honour board as he clinched victory by a vote from Golden Square’s Melvic Pambai.

    Playing midfield, Jack English made a brilliant start to Sandhurst’s season.

    By the fifth round of the season, English was on 11 votes after being adjudged best afield in rounds one, four and five.

    The consistency of the Dragons’ young gun was to the fore as he polled votes in 11 of 16 matches.

    A streak from rounds 13-17 netted eight votes.

    A vote in the round 17 match against Strathfieldsaye clinched the medal win.

    A first-year player at Golden Square, Melvic Pambai was runner-up for the award on 23 votes.

    The competition’s top two in the Symons Medal were opponents in last Saturday’s second semi-final in which Sandhurst won 33-31.

    The Jarrod Bateson-coached Dragons will take on the winner of next Saturday’s preliminary final between Golden Square and Gisborne in the grand final.

    First presented in 1969, the George Symons Medal honours a legendary figure of Golden Square.

    Previous winners of the medal include Eaglehawk’s Rod Ashman, Sandhurst rover Peter Tyack who later dominated for South Bendigo, and Golden Square’s Nathan Brown.

    Several of the Bendigo FNL’s award winners were announced on Monday night and will be presented at the Michelsen Medal and Betty Thompson Medal event on Sunday.

    Castlemaine’s Ryan Eyre capped a great season with the Magpies by earning the Bart ‘n Print Rising Star award.

    In his first season with the club, Eyre played six senior matches as a mix of midfield and forward.

    He also played two VFL matches with Essendon, and eight for Calder Calders in the Coates Talent League.

    Eyre ranked second in disposal for Castlemaine on 27 per game.

    The other Rising Star finalists were Maryborough’s Kaian Constable; Sandhurst’s Ollie Morris and Dayten Uerata; South Bendigo’s Zaydn Lockwood; and Strathfieldsaye’s Malik Gordon.

    Golden Square’s Ricky Monti was adjudged by the coaches as Bendigo’s best in the inter-league clash with the Victorian Amateurs in Brighton.

    The David McCann Champion Club award again went to Sandhurst on 111 points.

    Clubs earn a point for each win.

    A key player in Sandhurst’s charge to the top in senior footy was gun forward Fergus Greene.

    A tally of 80 goals in his comeback to the den after stints at AFL level with Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn earned Greene the Ron Best Medal as the Bendigo FNL’s leading goalkicker.

    The goalkicking awards were sponsored by Coffee Storm.

    Gisborne’s Hayden Doricic kicked 36 goals to lead the race in the Drummond Golf reserves competition.

    A tally of 48 goals put Sandhurst’s Oscar Cail on top in the Sportspower under-18s.
