BURGESS OUT OF CRUNCH GAME

DOSA needs to lift to another level if it is to end Hutchins’ unbeaten start in the Old Scholars when they meet at the TCA on Saturday.

Having lost its first two games, DOSA could well have won the opening encounter against University only for inaccuracy in the second and third quarters where it only managed three goals from 14 scoring shots.

So, it needs to find its range and capitalise on its opportunities against a Hutchins outfit chugging along nicely.

But 2020 OSFA Best & Fairest winner George Burbury will miss the match after he was suspended for one match on a striking charge.

DOSA’s gun forward Michael Fisher has kicked bags of five and six in his two games and will create headaches for Lions’ defence with Larry Owen or Lewis Franks his probable opponents.

OHA and University lock horns at Geilston Bay with Ships keen to continue last week’s form but will be wary of Rainbow’s talent.

The teams met once in the shortened 2020 roster with Ships victors by six goals.

University must address its inaccuracy. However, Sam Chivers, Blake Waight and Troy Cunliffe are in top form.

Richmond faces a daunting task as host to ladder leader St Virgils but the youthful Blues give it their best shot each week.
