K Rock Football | Anglesea has given itself two chances to play in its first Bellarine grand final since 2000 after overcoming a four-goal half-time deficit to defeat Drysdale by 27 points in the qualifying final at Portarlington’s Ron Evans Oval.
The Roos kept the Hawks to just two goals after the main break while kicking ten themselves to register a 14.12 (96) to 10.9 (69) victory.
Coach Jordan Keras spoke of his pride in earning a shot at minor premier Torquay in the second semi-final.
“I’m really proud of the boys,” he said.
“We still have somewhat of a young side, and I think, in a final, to be able to flip the game on its head like that when being down at half-time, it’s a massive confidence boost for our boys.
“And it’s a really important game in the context of the whole year.
“I couldn’t be happier.”
After reminding everyone of his undoubted talent with an eight-goal haul in the win over Geelong Amateur in Round 17, Dylan Pettingill was the most influential player on the ground.
