Kangaroo Flat rolls into this round on a tally of 106 points and plus 96 shots.

In pursuit of back-to-back premierships, Bendigo leads the race on 134 points and +139 shots.

Both clubs marked great wins in last Sunday’s play at South Bendigo.

All four Division One matches were played at the one venue on Charity Day to support groups in the Cancer fundraising network.

The Woodies and Bulldogs will be desperate to bounce back after big defeats while it a tough task for the Hawks on the Steamers greens at Moama.
