Match Reviews | The weekend saw two very different games play out as Melton booked its spot in the 2024 grand final, while Darley and East Point will face off in a preliminary final showdown on Saturday.

 Minor premiers Melton booked their place in the McDonald’s BFNL Grand Final with a dominant 43-point win over Darley.

An even spread of Bloods contributors proved too overwhelming for the Devils who were no match for a third time this year.

Troy Scoble's well-connected group set up a handy 25-point lead at half time after keeping the Devils goalless with the breeze in the second term.

A four-goal-to-one third quarter essentially put this game to bed as the Bloods drained the Devils of virtually any hope, with a 47-point advantage at the final change.

The Devils looked slow at times, often labouring in their endeavours to cover the ground.

Repeat turnovers were a four-quarter long struggle for Dan Jordan's group, making the game more difficult to play and a constant strain on energy levels.
