ROUND 1 officially kicked off on the weekend and the games didn’t disappoint.
Caroline Springs enjoyed the weekend off after its 178-point demolition of Manor Lakes.
For Manor Lakes they took on new comers Albanvale at Robert Bruce Oval who in turn came off a 152-point win in Round 1A.
Both teams started off strongly in the first quarter trading goal-for-goal with the Cobras kicking five goals to four to go into the first change leading by eight points.
Caelin Wright led the way for the Storm as they tried to make a charge in the second quarter, though to no avail.
The Cobras went in to half-time with a handy 19-point lead.
The start of the second half was the same with Albanvale being led by John Sirianni, who booted six majors for the game.
For the Storm they only mustered two majors in the third term and trailed by 31 points going into the last quarter.
From there it was three goals apiece in the last as the Cobras came away with a 32 point win.
Six goals from Sirianni, three to David Azzopardi, and two to Jamie Di Cicco helped the Cobras to their win.
North Footscray travelled to Heathdale Oval to take on Glen Orden as both teams opened their campaigns.
Led by Brayden Montebruno, the Devils were able to mount a charge in the third kicking 5.5 to Glenorden’s 2.0 to take a 36-point lead going into the last.
From there it was all North Footscray as they kicked seven goals in the last quarter to round up a resounding 66-point win and start their campaign on a solid note.
Three goals to Nathan Richardson, two to Tyson Bock, and two goals each to Kaine Williams and Lucas Hall set up the win for the Devils.
Hawks major goal kickers were Reece Duffield, Matthew Sparks, Josh Macdonald, and Dane Thomas who each kicked two.
In the last game of the round Yarraville-Seddon travelled to Shorten Reserve to take on West Footscray in what was anything but a one sided affair.
The Eagles had a nine goal first quarter, to the Roosters just two behinds.
The second quarter was not much of a scoring affair with the Roosters kicking their only goal of the game with Alex Bray the recipient.
The Eagles held a commanding 71-point lead at the main break. The second half saw the Eagles pile on the goals as they kicked 17.16.
The Eagles rounded up a comfortable 186-point win.
