JONTY’S JOTTINGS

Round 5 by Brendan Rhodes

Saturday, 7 May 2016

SORRENTO overcame the angst of a potentially serious injury to star forward Luke Tapscott and being down to one fit player on the bench to hold off a fast-finishing Rosebud by one point in Telstra RPP FM Match of the Day in the Nepean League at David McFarlane Reserve on Saturday.

Tapscott was stretchered off early in the second term with what appeared to be a serious neck injury in an incident eerily similar to the one that befell Tyabb’s Adrian Clay and saw the Sharks-Yabbies clash called off a fortnight ago.

He was treated on the field and then on the Sharks’ bench before being taken to hospital by ambulance for scans, with the early signs being positive for the former Melbourne AFL player, according to president Gary Woodhams.

Sorrento had earlier lost Nick Muller to a shoulder injury and also had Trevor Mattison (hamstring) hobbled during the third quarter, but still looked like winning the game for most of the day.

Celebrating the 150^th senior appearance of Brenton Davidge, the Buds dominated the opening 10 minutes through Rhys Bancroft Greg Bentley and Sean Downie without taking advantage on the scoreboard, and they were made to pay.

Ryan Potter, Leigh Treeby and Brent Kenyon proved to be a brick wall across half-back for the home team, while Ryan Williams took control in the ruck and Scott Lockwood and Nick Corp looked ominous up forward as Sorrento kicked five quick goals to take a 21-point lead into the opening break on the Rye Hotel scoreboard.

The Sharks stepped it up a notch in the second quarter as Nick Marston, James Hallahan and James Brigden provided quality drive down the wings and continually pumped the ball forward, but it was their turn to waste opportunities as they came to terms with the injury to Tapscott.

Corp, who was unstoppable both up forward and around the ground in taking countless contested marks, was one of the main offenders, with his three set-shot misses in the term being the only blemish on a near perfect game that saw him take out the Mornington Peninsula Brewery Player of the Match Award.

Rosebud, with Matt Baker getting the upper hand against Lockwood, Sean Downie turning into a prolific contributor and Keegan Downie (three goals) making his presence felt, including taking a screamer and kicking a long goal in the opening minute, booted two late majors to cut the margin to 15 at the main break.

Four goals to two in the third term reasserted Sorrento’s control over the game, and the Sharks looked home when they led by 28 points at three quarter-time, with teenager Chad Harris playing a lively hand.

It looked even more dire for Rosebud when coach Michael Kraska missed two gettable shots early in the final term, but the Downies, Ben Schultz (three goals), Bentley and Chris Dew refused to lay down.

The Buds charged home with 4.4 to 0.1 in the last 20 minutes of the match, but it was that solitary behind which proved the difference for Sorrento as it held on for an emotional victory that had coach Nick Jewell, who led Rosebud to last year’s premiership, punching the air and kissing the badge on his jacket at the final siren.

Somerville sent an ominous statement of its capabilities to the rest of the competition when it belted Hastings in the top of the table clash by 41 points at Thomas Barclay Reserve.

The Blues went into the clash undefeated and coming off a 100-point-plus hammering of Rosebud in their most recent home clash, but were on the receiving end this time.

The Eagles kicked four unanswered goals to take control in the first term and maintained their advantage until half-time before delivering the knockout punch in the premiership quarter.

With gun big man Scott Simpson continuing his stunning form, Kane McKenzie dominating the backline and Lachlan Williams and Justin Allsop also in fine fettle, Somerville blasted nine goals to none in the third quarter to blow the margin out to 83 points.

While Hastings finally came to life in the last term with nine goals of its own on the back of four goals to Luke Hewitt and strong efforts from Nathan Grey and Shaun Foster, it only flattered the Blues and saved some valuable percentage.

Brad Davidson kicked five goals to celebrate his 150^th senior game in the best possible way as Crib Point registered its maiden win of the season with an 82-point thrashing of Tyabb at Bunguyan Reserve.

The Yabbies got off to a flyer with five goals to one in the first term to raise hopes of a drought-breaking victory, but it was short-lived as the Magpies piled on eight goals in the second term, five in the third and finished with a 10-goal last-quarter blitzkrieg to finally produce the form tipped from them pre-season.

Luke Herrington also kicked five goals and Nick Rutherford and Brad Arnold were also impressive for Crib Point, while Jake Anderson booted three and Ethan Rahilly was best for Tyabb.

Pearcedale kicked eight goals to two in the first quarter to stun Dromana by 53 points at Pearcedale, Red Hill came from four goals down in the last quarter to overrun Rye by four points at RJ Rowley Reserve, despite six goals from Demon Matt Greig, and Frankston had 12 goalkickers as it crushed Devon Meadows by 78 points at Greg Beck Oval.

The upset of the round came in the Peninsula League at Emil Madsen Reserve, where the previously winless Bonbeach upstaged the previously undefeated Mt Eliza by 21 points.

The Sharks gained the initiative from the opening bounce with 3.6 to 0.1 in the first term and never looked back, leading by as much as 46 points by three quarter-time before the Redlegs saved face with a six-goal final quarter.

Beau Bailey and Jackson Sole were the stars for Bonbeach and Luke Damon (four goals) and Shane McDonald (three) were prominent up forward as they lifted their team off the bottom of the ladder.

Justin van Unen did everything in his power to keep Mt Eliza in the game with three goals, while Jay Neratzoglou and Karl Lombardozzi also worked hard.

Chelsea’s terrible kicking at goal cost it a chance at victory for the second straight week as it fell to Mornington by 28 points at Chelsea Reserve.

The Seagulls kicked an embarrassing 7.19 to lose convincingly despite having two more scoring shots than the Bulldogs, and last week’s tally of 6.16 (40-point loss to Mt Eliza) means they have sprayed 13.35 in the past two games.

They also kicked 8.12 in a five-point loss to Edithvale-Aspendale and 13.19 in a one-point win over Pines, with their only positive scoreline being 17.10 in the comfortable win over Langwarrin.

Against Mornington, Chelsea dominated early through James Sivijs and Beau Caia, but found itself behind at quarter-time with 2.7 to 4.0 on the board.

The Bulldogs went 19 points clear at half-time through Jackson Calder and Stuart Seagar, but were in danger of being overrun when the Seagulls cut the margin to a point at the final change.

But the Grand Finalists had the answer, adding 6.2 to 1.5 in the last quarter to run away with the points.

Seaford took advantage of a similarly wasteful Langwarrin to win by 20 points at Lloyd Park.

The Kangaroos jumped out to a 32-point lead at quarter-time on the back of three goals from the in-form Kyle Albanese and strong showings from Mitchell Porter and Josh Biggs.

But Aaron Walton and Dean Williamson kicked three each of their own as the Tigers held the home team scoreless in the second quarter and to just three more goals for the game for a total of 8.16, easing into third spot on the ladder.

Michael Meehan (four goals) and Brendan Neville helped Edithvale-Aspendale back onto the winners’ list with a 19-point victory over Karingal at Regents Park, while David Bodley kicked five goals as Frankston YCW cruised past Pines by 53 points at Eric Bell Reserve.

THIS WEEK’S RPPFM 98.7 TELSTRA STORES MATCH OF THE WEEK IS AT RJ ROWLEY RESERVE, WHERE RYE WILL LOOK TO CELEBRATE A THREE-PRONGED PREMIERSHIP REUNION WHEN IT HOSTS SORRENTO IN THE NEPEAN LEAGUE.
