Match Previews | Round 9 of the 2023 Goulburn Valley FNL football season takes place this weekend.
SHEPPARTON V BENALLA
This will be an interesting match-up for a variety of the reasons.
Shepparton is just going despite having higher expectations for the season and the two wins would no doubt not be meeting the expectations of the football department.
Benalla has won two games also in what is proving a challenging year for the Rose City team.
Jarrad Waite starred in the win last week, kicking 8 goals from his 17 possessions to help them sneak across the line against Rochester.
President Geoff Hill did say in the ONE FM broadcast game against Mooroopna that Waite wouldn’t play every week.
But I wonder whether he will need to play rather than be managed due to his ageing body not being able to back up for three games without having a rest. He had 11 score involvements against the Tigers, so the Saints could afford to be without him.
