Match Preview | COLBINABBIN will try to break Mount Pleasant’s winning streak in Saturday’s senior footy qualifying final in Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL finals action.

The Grasshoppers and Blues will play at Gunbower from 2.15pm.

It’s one-all in this season’s meetings between these teams.

They clashed last Saturday at Toolleen where the Blues won on their turf by 27 points.

In the ninth round the Linton Jacobs Colbinabbin marked a 16-point win at the home of the green and gold in M.J. Morgan Oval.

Midfield and on-ball contests will be crucial as both teams have plenty of goalkicking power.

The Blues’ attack is led by Ben Weightman, 36 goals; Brodie Leonard-Shannon, 31; and Mitch Bennett, 31.

At the other end of the ground, Colbinabbin has Brandyn Grenfell, 60; Alex Carr, 41; and Nick Knight, 35.

After missing the finals following the premiership in ’23, Mount Pleasant has bounced back brilliantly.

A coup was the signing of Josh Hann as playing co-coach and the return of Adam Baird as playing co-coach.

Dual premiership coach Cameron Carter is director of coaching for the Blues.
