Match Previews | IT’S Bendigo Health Round across the Bendigo Bank BFL this Saturday as clubs raise funds and support for the hospital’s neurology team.

Round 16 features the clash between Strathfieldsaye and Sandhurst in the fight for top spot.

The Storm and Dragons will play at Triple M Park in Tannery Lane from 2.20pm.

Both teams are locked on 44 points, but it’s Sandhurst which is perched on top.

The Dragons have been unbeaten since a 19-point loss to Strathfieldsaye in the stand-alone match at the QEO on May 31 to complete Indigenous Round.

Storm forwards James Schischka, Zach Charles, Tyson McKenzie and Riley Mulquiny are up against a strong defence.

Three of the Dragons’ greatest defenders in Chris Greene, Brendan Hartney and Mark O’Farrell would be rapt with how Lachlan Wright, Liam Ireland, James Coghlan and Darcy Mills complete in one-on-one duels and their workrate to assist team-mates.

At the other end of the ground, Storm’s defence led by Cooper Jones, Ben Lester, Hunter Lawrence, and Lachlan Ratcliffe takes on Hugh Schmetzer, Cobi Maxted, Matt Wilkinson and Finlay Lockhart.

In the middle it will be Storm young gun Jaidi Jackson-Leahy opposed to Dayten Uerata.

Storm has Darcy Mulquiny and Jack Bell in midfield roles.
