THE Loddon Valley league’s nine clubs have now played opponents once as coaches look to the second half of the season.
How have the performances stacked up:
MARONG: Any doubts about depth and a double premiership hangover have been quickly dispatched. Haven’t lost a game since round four 2022 against Pyramid Hill - that’s 42 games on top.
PYRAMID HILL: After an uncharacteristic start to season 2024, the Bulldogs have shown they are looming as the only genuine contender to stop the Panthers in their tracks.
BRIDGEWATER: Good blend of younger players and seasoned veterans. Lachlan Sharp in goals and Boden Alexander a favourite for the league best and fairest. Way above everyone except Marong and Pyramid Hill who exposed flaws in game.
BEARS LAGOON SERPENTINE: Improved but still being challenged for four consistent quarters. Mellington up forward a star magnet but Bears still need to develop more avenues to goal against higher-placed sides.
NEWBRIDGE: There was pre-season hype, still many doubters. Maroons’ season could hinge in return encounter with Inglewood.
INGLEWOOD: The 2023 glamour side has found things a bit tougher and challenged by injury and availability. Tenacity, however, not a problem.
CALIVIL: Still an outside chance for finals actions but really a couple of key players short.
MITIAMO AND MAIDEN GULLY: It’s tough at the bottom.
