MOOROOPNA V TATURA
There is a huge game in the context for both of these teams, especially if they want to remain relevant at this very early stage in the season.
At the end of today one of these teams will drop to 0-3.
After featuring in the 2019 finals, the Bulldogs and its hierarchy will be eager to avoid a third straight loss.
Mooroopna had its chances during last week’s heart-breaking loss.
They had more scoring shots than the Bears, but in the end, it was behind when the siren went.
Tip: Tatura.
KYABRAM V ECHUCA
When these teams last played it was the Bombers who won to claim their third premiership in four seasons.
The Bombers are 2-0 while the Murray Bombers bounced back last weekend with a comfortable win after an Easter Saturday loss to the Lions.
Tip: Kyabram.
SHEPPARTON V BENALLA
This will be interesting contest.
Both teams go into the contest at 1-1.
The Bears are young and coach Sam Ahmet says his team will have their ups and downs throughout 2021.
Last Saturday night was one of those ups against the Cats.
I think the experience of Benalla could prove the difference today, but the visitors won’t want to take the speedy Bears lightly.
Tip: Benalla.
EUROA V ROCHESTER
Euroa has made the perfect start in its bid to return to the finals action in 2021.
The Magpies have done enough in both of the successes and coach Scott Rowan only expects his team to get better as he welcome backs players over the coming weeks.
Tip: Euroa.
SWANS V UNITED
This promises to be intriguing match-up along with a historic occasion for the home team.
Both are coming into the contest off the back of bad defeats – the Swans to the rampant Kyabram and the Demons to the Magpies.
United will work on improving some of the aspects that let them down in the loss, especially its ball use.
Tip: United.
