Match Previews | THE rematch of ’24 grand finalists, Marong and Pyramid Hill highlights Saturday’s second round in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL senior footy season.

Marong will be on home turf at Jackal Oval in Malone Park for a 2.15pm start against the Bulldogs.

Both teams won their opening games of the season.

Marong had to dig deep for a seven-point win on Inglewood’s ground at Centre State Scaffolding Oval.

The Bulldogs marked a 52-point win on Newbridge’s turf at Deepcore Drilling Oval in Riverside Oval.

Chasing a fourth consecutive premiership, Marong has a new coaching set-up of Kain Robins, playing, and Paul Thompson, non-playing.

Midfield and on-ball duels will have a major bearing on the Panthers and Bulldogs clash.

Marong ruckman Michael Bradbury sets up plenty of chances for the likes of Nathan Devanny, Corey Gregg, Jimmy Gadsden, Jack and Noah McCaig.

Other key players for the Panthers include Matt Willox, Richard Tibbett, Ben Gregg and Ryley Taylor.
