East get the hop on Cobras

By Todd Whelan
Round 7 – Bacchus Marsh v East Point
The Kangas stormed back into second place on the BFNL ladder with a convincing 47 point win over the Cobras at Eastern Oval on Saturday. The 2018/19 Premiers put the game to bed early, opening up a 27 point lead at the first change.
Jordy Johnston (5 goals) was the star of the show yet again, taking his tally to 21 goals from his last five games while marquee recruit Jackson Merrett was named best afield. Midfielders Mickitja Rottumah-Onus and Joe Dodd won more than their fair share of the ball through the midfield to aid the supply of Johnston, Bryce McDougall (2 goals) and impressive young talent Jack Jeffrey (2 goals).
Kangas coach Jake Bridges said it was a “four quarter effort with plenty of evidence around our trademarks and opportunities for growth.”
Cobras forward Aaron Willetts (4 goals) returned from a hip complaint confirming his importance to the line up to be named among the best with newcomer Sam Crea and defender Simon LaFranchi. Dangerous forward Jake Owen finished with two goals and continued with his terrific run of consistency.
Coach Tom German conceded his boys were made to work hard for their goals while a skillful East Point took their opportunities. The Cobras sit percentage outside the top six and face North Ballarat at Mars Stadium this Saturday.
