This week the VFL head down the highway for another crunch game against a red hot Geelong outfit. 

Last week's win over Box Hill sees us sit in the top eight, but we will be facing a Geelong side full of confidence after they celebrated a massive 100+ point win against Werribee.

The boys will be looking to come away with their third win in a row and take another step towards securing a spot in the finals.

Players to Watch:

#34 Jake Long – Has been consistently building form again over the last few weeks, with a bigger ground at Simonds look for Longy to take advantage of the extra space.

#68 James Ferry – Makes his long awaited return from a knee injury and will be crucial to our chances in the backline.

#82 Ben Dobson – The recruit from St Marys (Geelong FL) played his best game on the weekend kicking 5 crucial goals.
