Match Previews | Ladder leaders Marong and Bridgewater clash in Saturday’s sixth round of senior footy in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL season.

Unbeaten in its pursuit of a premiership hat-trick, Marong has answered all challenges as it heads into another home game at Malone Park.

The clash between the Panthers and Mean Machine starts at 2.15pm.

Latest hit-out for the Linton Jacobs-coached Marong was at Calivil where it won by 97 points.

Key inclusion for the Panthers this round is premiership-winning captain Corey Gregg who had not played since the first round win against Mitiamo.

Both teams are packed with plenty of scoring power.

Marong has Ryan Wellington, Kain Robins and Ryley Taylor as marking targets in attack.

At ground level there’s the skilful Jimmy Gadsden, Jack and Noah McCaig.

Massive test for a Bridgewater defence led by Jack Neylon, Joseph Mayes and Jack Symons.
