TOP teams Mount Pleasant and White Hills meet in Saturday\u2019s fifth round of the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL senior footy season.<\/p>\n
White Hills has home-ground advantage at Winslow Constructors Oval in Scott Street as second takes on first.<\/p>\n
A highlight of this contest will be watching gun small forwards Ben Weightman for Mount Pleasant, and Kaiden Antonowicz for White Hills as both are in hot form.<\/p>\n
Weightman lifted his season tally to 24 goals after he kicked 10 in last Saturday\u2019s big win by the Blues at Elmore.<\/p>\n
A season return of 16 goals by Antonowicz included nine in a best afield performance when the Demons beat Heathcote in round three at White Hills.<\/p>\n
Defences for the Demons and Blues will rely a lot on limiting opportunities for the dynamic duo.<\/p>\n
The Adam Baird-coached Mounts are on three-game winning streak, as is the Jack Fallon and Jake Pallpratt-coached White Hills.<\/p>\n
Another big match will be at Colbinabbin\u2019s M.J. Morgan Reserve where the Grasshoppers tackle North Bendigo.<\/p>\n
Although it has a one and three record, Colbinabbin cannot be taken lightly, especially after a seven-point loss on Lockington\u2019s turf.<\/p>\n
In-form players for the Jed Brain-coached Colinbabbin include Logan and Lain Fitzgerald, Connor Aldous and young ruckman Jasper McArdle.<\/p>\n
The unbeaten North Bendigo must bring its A-game for every quarter.<\/p>\n
The marking power of Bulldogs\u2019 forwards Dylan Klemm, Jordan Ford, Cody Riddick and Matt Gray will test Colbo.<\/p>\n
Heathcote is back at Barrack Reserve and should take the points against Elmore.<\/p>\n
A lot of interest will be on Saints\u2019 gun forward Corey Grindlay who kicked eight in the night match at White Hills in round three.<\/p>\n
Leitchville Gunbower is up against Lockington Bamawm United at Leitchville.<\/p>\n
Another big test for the Shannon Keam-coached Bombers against the \u201922 premiers.<\/p>\n
Huntly has the bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
