AFTER a hard-fought battle on Saturday, Edithvale-Aspendale and Mornington finished all square.
Edi-Asp hosted the Bulldogs for a chilly afternoon of football. After a tight opening term, Mornington opened up a three goal lead heading into the half-time break. The margin tightened up in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs remained ahead. With ten minutes left to play in the game Mornington was 14 points in front.
Two late Edi-Asp goals put the game within a kick. They had a late opportunity to win, but could only add a behind to their total to bring scores level. The siren sounded with both sides tied. The final scoreboard read 11.13 (79) to 11.13 (79).
Max Walker booted three goals for Edi-Asp, and Jarrod Hicks kicked three for Mornington.
Edi-Asp’s best were Charlie Martello, Alexander Browne, Max Walker, Colby Nayna, and Zac Weller. Mornington’s best were Kai Owens, Mitchell Bluhm, Brenton Credlin, Matt Jones, and Angus Rowler.
Second-place Frankston YCW notched up another win last weekend, getting the better of Langwarrin.
A four-goals-to-zero first term put the Stonecats in an excellent position. Langwarrin weren’t able to fight back, eventually succumbing to a 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57) defeat. Riley D’Arcy booted four goals for the victors. Blake Mullane kicked two, and was named best on ground. A ten-goal third quarter locked up a big win for Mt Eliza on Saturday. The Redlegs beat Pines 19.13 (127) to 8.11 (59).

SEVEN goal hauls from Jarrad Grant and Jai Block helped the undefeated Frankston Bombers defeat Chelsea on Saturday. Chelsea came into the game in good form, sitting among the finals contenders. On the other hand the Bombers haven’t lost a game, and were looking to continue their dominance.
After a close opening half, the Bombers showed their quality. The ladder leaders raced away to a 57 point win 10.8 (68) to 18.17 (125). Block and Grant scored 14 of their side’s 18 goals, and were unstoppable. Jason Kingsbury, Mitchel Charles, Sam Glenn, and Harrison Prior also had good games.
Hastings secured their second win for the 2025 season on Saturday, getting the better of Seaford away from home. Kade Foster was the star of the show at RF Miles Recreation Reserve. He kicked six goals in a best-on-ground display. Hastings locked up a 25 point win 8.11 (59) to 13.6 (84).

MORNINGTON beat Karingal on Saturday to continue their unbeaten run. The Bulldogs haven’t dropped a game in season 2025. After a tight first quarter, Mornington took control of the contest. Mornington beat Karingal 10.9 (69) to 4.4 (28). Tenae Brown booted three goals, and Anna McGlade, Phoebe Pearce, and Eliza Snehotta kicked two each.
Bonbeach picked up a win over Pearcedale on Saturday. Although Pearcedale were defeated, they showed plenty of promising signs. They fought right to the end, but their quest to find a win in season 2025 continues. Bonbeach beat Pearcedale 6.10 (46) to 4.2 (26). Pearcedale will be bolstered this week by the addition of former AFLW player Courtney Wakefield.
