Match Previews | Drawn to meet in a first semi no matter the result, Macorna and Wandella will strive to gain a mental edge in Saturday’s 16th round of Golden Rivers senior footy.

The Tigers from Macorna have home-ground advantage against the Wandella Bombers from 2.30pm.

When these clubs last met in round 11, Macorna fought on for a 78-75 victory in the Wandella hangar.

The Tigers and Bombers were well-beaten in last Saturday’s play by Ultima and Hay respectively.

Key players for Macorna include Malcolm Neiwand, co-captains Lachlan Thompson and Laing Whinfield, Travis Mercadante, Hunter Anset and Lachlan Ritchie.

Wandella will look for big games from Logan Keighran, Adam Ward, Justin and Tim Robinson, Tanner Treacy and Jarred Schlitz to take the points.

The ladder-leading Hay will be at home to take on the Murrabit Blues.

Hay is likely to have too much goalkicking power for the Blues to hold across four quarters.

Players to watch for the Lions include Nathan Wilson, Kenneth Judd, Brad Pocock, Daniel Zambon, William Collis, Daniel Stewart, Hugh Crighton and Jayden Kinces.

Best for Murrabit against Moulamein last round were Dean Harrop, Nathan O’Toole, Josh Bray, Sam and Tom Copland, and Ashton Wood.
