A TALLY of seventeen goalkickers reflected Strathfieldsaye\u2019s dominance of the senior footy match against Maryborough in Saturday\u2019s start to Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL\u2019s split sixth round.<\/p>\n
It was a daunting task for Maryborough against a team on the rebound from defeat for the first time since a one-point loss on April 10, 2021 at Gisborne.<\/p>\n
A midfielder or half-back flanker for a lot of his career, Kallen Geary played a permanent role in the forward 50-metre arc and kicked a match-high seven goals.<\/p>\n
Storm led 35-2 at quarter-time and then slammed on 7.7 to nil in the second.<\/p>\n
It was a ruthless performance from the Darryl Wilson and Shannon Geary-coached Storm as it scored 12 goals in the third and nine in the last to complete a 33.21 (219) to 1.5 (11) victory.<\/p>\n
The Magpies\u2019 sole goal was off the boot of Damon Lewis.<\/p>\n
Baxter Slater earned best afield honours as Kallen Geary and Jake Moorhead also won plenty of the footy.<\/p>\n
Malik Gordon kicked four goals to be among Storm\u2019s best, along with Brady Hore and Thomas Bennett.<\/p>\n
On another tough afternoon for the Rick Andrews-coached Magpies it was ruck-rover Aidan Hare, Kya Lanfranchi, Patrick Chard and Lachlan Hull who were best.<\/p>\n
In other matches around the league, Kyneton scored a thrilling seven-point win at home against Golden Square.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs led by three points at half-time and by two at a quarter to go, but it was the Paul Chapman-coached Tigers who finished brilliantly in front of a parochial crowd at Tigerland to win 95-88.<\/p>\n
A dominant third quarter set up Kangaroo Flat\u2019s win at Castlemaine\u2019s Camp Reserve.<\/p>\n
The Roos led 34-28 at half-time and then scored 4.7 to 1.1 in the crucial third term to gain a five-goal lead.<\/p>\n
The classy Mitch Rovers kicked four goals in a best afield performance for the James Flaherty-coached Kangaroos.<\/p>\n
Gisborne thrashed South Bendigo by 106 points on the Bulldogs\u2019 turf at Gardiner Reserve.<\/p>\n
