Debut in 1sts: Tom Antonis
Daniel Ward’s Old Haileyburians side won its first game of the season, running out 126-point winners over Williamstown CYMS at Caulfield South. Tom Antonis was exciting on debut, while on-baller Hugo Nosiara and ruck Jack Bell waxed nicely at stoppage. The home side had to make do with limited rotations, down to two on the bench early in the second term, one on the bench in the third, and finally to no bench at all in the final quarter. “The 18-19 that played most of the game without a rest did a great job,” said coach Daniel Ward. Harrison Jones booted seven goals for Old Haileyburians while Sam Loewe added five of his own.

Debut: Charlotte Haydn-Evans
Old Haileyburians would’ve hoped to recover from a tough one-point loss last weekend, although it wasn’t to be against Marcellin, suffering a 32-point loss. It was an even contest in the first half, the Hearts kicking 3.3. to Marcellin’s 6.4 at the main break and still looked to be in with a sniff for the rest of the game.
However, a strong second half from Marcellin showed why they are such a threat this year. Whilst they only kicked 2.7 for the remainder of the game, their defence managed to keep Old Haileyburian scoreless for the entire second half showing that they have a well-rounded game style- playing well offensively in the first half and defending their lead in the second half.
Co-captains Bridget Hanrahan and Isabella Scaunich were both strong for Haileyburians, whilst Zoe Glascott was a clear best on ground once again, kicking five of Marcellin’s eight goals. Next up, Marcellin will travel to Brighton Oval to take on Old Brighton in the match of the round, with the winner to remain as the only undefeated team in the comp. On the other side of town, Old Haileyburians go to Gillon Oval to play the winless Brunswick for what should be a victory.
