Thirds vs Old Carey
The Thirds travelled to Ford Park in Ivanhoe to face a formidable Old Carey outfit. It was one of the largest footy ovals most of us had seen and unfortunately this played right into the hands of Old Carey. Their fast play style suited the ground perfectly and we were put on the back foot from the start and then couldn’t make up any ground as the match went on.
There were some brilliant individual performances as Michael Jenkin showed his class all over the ground, Carson Howard played a crucial tagging role beautifully and Dave Augustes battled hard all day in the ruck.
We look to bounce back this week as we play in another rematch, this time against Parkside.
Best Players: David Augustes, Matt Cottrell, Charlie Dore, Carson Howard, Michael Jenkin, Dante Sciessere Goal Kickers: David Augustes 2, Matt Cottrell 1, Charlie Dore 1, Michael Jenkin 1

Women vs Richmond Central
Round 5 saw us drop down to the more suitable Division 2 level, and with it came the usual fixturing confusion. As a result we ended up playing Richmond at the neutral Greythorn Park. In a very competitive game, the girls played well. Richmond had our measure however winning three goals to our one. Izzy Dedoncker was our goal scorer, mixing ruck duties with a resting forward role. Co-Skipper Juz Gabriel did her best impression of a brick wall, allowing nothing past, with Lans and Hayley supporting her admirably in defence. Maclyn and Izzy won plenty of hit outs, whilst Paige, Bryony, Alix and Steph all rotated through the wing positions and did a great job. The connection within the team is improving each week as look forward to the challenges of Divvy 2 football.
Best Players: Justine Gabriel, Hayley Mrocki, Bec Kertes, Isabel Dedoncker, Isabella Burke, Bridget Facey Goal Kickers: Isabel Dedoncker 1

Inaugural Old Mitre Cup: Wellers vs. Old Trinity - Post Match Report
The highly anticipated inaugural Old Mitre Cup clash unfolded at Gordon Barnard, as the Wellers hosted Old Trinity in a thrilling encounter that had fans on the edge of their seats.
With the Wellers eager to secure a win following two close encounters where victory narrowly slipped away, anticipation was high amongst supporters. The return of Liam Thomas from VFL duties added a dynamic edge to the team, his prowess in marking proving to be a handful for the opposition throughout the game. Additionally, the comeback of young star Garnett Brennan, after successfully completing a two-week concussion protocol, injected further energy into the squad.
From the first whistle, the tempo of the match was set to fast and furious, with both teams displaying slick ball movement and demonstrating their skill in an enthralling display.
Standout performances were aplenty for the Wellers. Dave McColl and Harry Laukens (5goals) posed a constant threat in the forward line, keeping Old Trinity's defence on their toes throughout the match. Midfielder Harrison Veitch showcased his relentless attack on the contest, consistently putting his body on the line for the team's cause.
The defensive trio of Will Dalrymple, Ben Hart, and Lachie O'Neil exhibited dominance in the backline, providing crucial run and drive from defence to attack, effectively nullifying Old Trinity's forward thrusts.
It was great to see a great team effort that spanned all four quarters of the day. Our relentless approach gives the team great confidence in a very even B grade competition.
The Wellers extend their gratitude to the loyal supporter who added to the electric atmosphere, contributing to a memorable day for the club. As the Old Mitre Cup concludes its inaugural chapter, the Wellers emerge victorious.
