League Preview | The half way point of the season awaits as the League enters into the Queens Birthday Round 9 split round.
The week one match of the round has Moe welcome Wonthaggi Power to Ted Summerton Reserve. The Lions will be licking their wounds after a 100+ point loss at the leaders summit last week when they met top of the table Leongatha. By all reports there were a number of injuries to add salt to the wounds during the game that may see key personnel out for a stretch of the season.
James Blaser and Harry Pepper look set to miss this weekend while the Power welcome back 2017 Trood Award and Rodda medalist Jack Blair. While the upside for Moe is they still hold second place on the ladder, a game clear of both Sale and Traralgon.
Wonthaggi are fresh off a home win over Bairnsdale. The Power missed a chance to boost their percentage as they controlled the game early but inaccuracy in front of the sticks saw them finish with 20 behinds from their 34 shots and finish with a 55 point win.
A really tough game to predict with uncertainty over Moe’s playing personnel matched with Wonthaggi’s patchy form on the road which included a draw against Warragul and dropping matches at Morwell and Traralgon .
