BOORT needs the points when the Magpies head across to Birchip in a North Central round emerging as crucial for clubs wanting to secure a top four finish.
The Pies are coming back from the bye after lowering colours by two points to Loddon rivals Wedderburn.
Dale Cameron’s game plan will be put to the test by Birchip Watchem with the Bulls having a strong percentage from their four wins of the season. Part of Cameron’s plan revolves around a strong Boort defence and that will be tested by Castellano and Gordon.
In Boort’s favour is the strong season so far by ruckman Nathan Twigg and some useful work by midfielders.
They will need to get the ball down forward with speed and accuracy to pull the Bulls up in their tracks.
If Boort has a near-full list for selection, including Lanyon and Biggs plus the every-improving Tom Potter, Pies could fly back into the four.
Wedderburn will have too much skill and commitment when the Redbacks travel to St Arnaud.
Expect a more settled Redbacks team in coming weeks, one that cannot be discounted in a tight race.
