Match Previews | SEPARATED by a win and eight per cent, Macorna and Maiden Gully YCW Eagles have plenty to play for in Saturday’s 18th and final round in Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL senior footy action.

The Tigers and Eagles roll into the last round of the home-and-away series fighting to stay or claim fifth place and a berth in the elimination final.

The fifth-placed Macorna makes its way to Bridgewater to tackle the ladder-leaders from 2.15pm.

When these clubs met in round nine it was Macorna which won in the Tigers’ den by three points.

Outrun the Machine again and Macorna is assured of playing finals in its debut season in the Loddon Valley.

Lose and the Tigers will be sweating on what happens in the Maiden Gully YCW Eagles and Calivil United clash.

It’s been a testing run for the Fergus Payne-coached Macorna which played Pyramid Hill last round.

Although at home, Macorna could not halt the Bulldogs’ charge to a 95-point victory.

Best for Macorna in that contest were Josh Whittle, Fergus Bear, Josh Berryman and Sam Whinfield.

The squad and yellow and black for this round includes Kieran Foley, Toby Whinfield, Matt Colak, Broden and Xavier Wishart, Hunter Anset and Spiros Sklavenitis.
