AMMOS’ A Grade coach says her team will not be looking at its matchup with Modewarre at face value, with the Bellarine Netball League’s top and bottom sides meeting this weekend.
Geelong Amateur coach Mel Savage said preparation was going to be the same as usual ahead of Round 11, with the undefeated (10-0) reigning premiers travelling to Mount Moriac tomorrow (Saturday, June 17) to take on a winless Modewarre outfit (0-10).

“I think the competition has some really strong players, and the Modewarre group in particular has been together for a little while, despite a few changes in their goal, ” Savage said.

“They’re actually scoring really well, so given that fact, we don’t take any team lightly, and that starts with focusing on what we do well.”
Ammos was led by its key pillars with Ruby Watson (56 goals) in goal, Keisha Guilmartin in defence and Georgia Duncan’s support in attack against the Seagulls, but Savage also praised the efforts of her roster’s younger contributors this season.
“One of our more promising young players, Zoe Shaw, who was absent last week, has really flourished at the senior level and is a real star of the future in my opinion, ” she said.

“We also have 17-year-old Madeline Mickovski in the side this season who I coach in State League. Both of these girls bring youth and a real enthusiasm to the group.
“Grace Pullen has also come over from South Australia and is really flexible position-wise, meaning she can provide an impact in both goal shooter and goal attack when needed.
“For us, it’s about not getting too far ahead of ourselves and not reflecting too much on past performances, that’s what I’m trying to instil in our girls.

“We are the hunted; however, we have really high expectations of ourselves and that’s something we need to focus on regardless of the outside noise.”Walyalup’s winning ways have continued, with the Fremantle Dockers claiming arguably their biggest scalp yet in an impressive win over Geelong, which lost its second straight game.
Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong ran riot against the reigning premiers, combining for 61 possessions in a 29-point win at Optus Stadium.
The Dockers had 11 goalkickers, led by Michael Walters and Jye Amiss, with three each in the 16.10 (106) to 11.11 (77) win.

“He’s either got to let it bounce again or he’s got to keep it in and allow himself to be taken over the boundary line in a tackle, ” Fox Footy’s Jason Dunstall lamented.
It took almost 15 minutes for Walyalup to get on the board through Andrew Brayshaw, and when Michael Frederick streamed forward and hit Jye Amiss with a precision pass between two Cats’ defenders, suddenly the home side was in front.

Sean Darcy showed why he’s considered one of the best rucks in the competition when he snapped a goal to open up Walyalup’s nine point advantage.
“They just continue to compete at ground level and continue to put pressure on the opposition. Playing territory here and it’s really encouraging, ” Dunstall praised.
Some late brilliance from Jeremy Cameron saw Tom Hawkins get his first for the day, while Tyson Stengle got on the board late.

The Dockers exploded in the third term, slamming on three consecutive goals as they made the most of their opportunities forward of centre and exposed a weakened Geelong backline. Walters was doing the damage, kicking two goals in 10 minutes.
The returning Jack Henry kept the Cats in the game, kicking two consecutive goals to cut Fremantle’s lead to 10 points, before Jye Amiss responded for the Dockers.
The Dockers kicked ahead at the start of the fourth term, with James Aish nailing a set-shot goal to make it a three-goal game.

The Cats are one of the best stoppage teams in the competition, but Walyalup beat them at their own game on Saturday.
“We’re probably just allowing them to run with a bit of freedom in attack – they’re very much a run and gun side. They’ve got some real speed, ” he told Fox Footy at half-time.
Fremantle’s biggest woe has been its inability to lock down a forward line that regularly performs, essentially since star Matthew Pavlich retired a decade ago.

But with Matt Taberner sidelined by injury and the Nat Fyfe forward experiment seemingly forgotten after just nine rounds, it seems Walyalup may have finally settled on a combination that works.
Young Jye Amiss is only improving each game, and he showed brilliant hands early to give the Dockers faithful something to cheer about.
Josh Treacy continued to provide a contest, but it was the running smalls of Lachie Schultz, Michae Walters Bailey Banfield, Sam Switkowski and Michael Frederick who really got the side moving on the scoreboard.

It was fitting the man dubbed “dead-eye Jye” was the one to ensure Walyalup would take home the four points after he stood tall and copped a late shot from Cat Tom Stewart.
There was plenty of early criticism about Freo’s forward line this season, following the loss of Rory Lobb to the Bulldogs last off-season.
Scoring just 10 goals or less in five of their opening seven games left many critics questioning where the scores would come.

Jeremy Cameron has been in outstanding form this season, leading the Coleman Medal race heading into Round 10 with 34 goals to his name.
“He was lively early but he’s only had the eight possessions (to three quarter-time) and just the three behinds to his name.”
Will Schofield praised Cameron’s endurance to be able to get up and back, but it just didn’t happen in the second half.

“Luke Ryan has been the match up on Jeremy Cameron all day – but when (Cameron) is high, he sits behind the ball as a loose, ” Schofield explained.Collingwood has claimed an inspired 22-point win over Geelong, with players rallying to produce an unanswered eight-goal blitz in the wake of star Jeremy Howe’s horrific injury.
Howe suffered one of the most sickening arm breaks witnessed in recent AFL history, with play stopped for more than five minutes to allow medical staff to assist the defender in front of a monster MCG crowd.
But rather than dwell on the loss of their star, the Magpies found their fight to kick the last eight goals and claim their first win over the Cats since 2020.

And it was super sub Reef McInnes who helped spark the Magpies’ fightback late in the third term, as they stared down a 22-point deficit.
Already without Jack Henry and Jake Kolodjashnij, Geelong lost Tom Stewart in the first term before Sam de Koning was hobbled, albeit able to see out the match.

“I’m just so proud of this team … they refuse to give up. Against the juggernaut of the competition … it makes me so proud, ” captain Darcy Moore said.
All the talk pre-game centred on Tom Hawkins’ fitness and Jeremy Cameron’s availability in a Cats’ attack end featuring former Pie Oliver Henry.
But it was the Irishman Zach Tuohy who celebrated St Patrick’s Day in style – booting the opening two goals of the clash with Collingwood at the MCG.

Tuohy cut off John Noble’s cross-goal kick to snap truly from the square for the Cats’ first, in a moment he “read like a primary school book”, according to commentator James Brayshaw.
It took more than five minutes for the first tackle to be laid, such was the frenetic pace of the match in the opening term.
“You wonder how long both teams can keep this up. We saw a lot of players blow up after halftime last night. This is next level, ” Matthew Lloyd said on 3AW.

There were early concerns for both teams with Hawkins limping after a big marking contest and Brayden Maynard sidelined under the blood rule.
While Hawkins was able to return to the field, there were concerns for star defender Tom Stewart who went straight into the rooms.
Stewart’s foot slid awkwardly on the MCG turf as trainers rushed to his side. He was later subbed out of the contest.

Patrick Dangerfield created “something out of nothing” before Hawkins slotted his first to give the Cats their biggest lead of the night – 21 points.
As former Pie, now Cat Ollie Henry was awarded a free kick for an off the ball bump, young Tanner Bruhn immediately got in the face of Brayden Maynard.
“It was on and big Zach Tuohy said ‘Hey, don’t touch my man!’ And the jumper got ripped off! It had a bit of everything, ” Lyon said.

“That’s a golden set up isn’t it when you’ve got this go-home factor as one of 10 clubs in the state. They’ve done it so brilliantly the Cats.”
But Henry’s moment in the spotlight quickly turned soured minutes later when he was run down in the square by Moore – completely oblivious as the Pies skipper saved a certain goal.
Tyson Stengle also came
