Kicking for goal was a downside, with Great Western missing the majors on 31 occasions.

However, the large oval, pace, determination and without tough opposition, they won like Winx.

A 13-goal haul by Andrew Cameron, along with 11 teammate goalkickers, handed out a massive defeat to the Eagles who are undermanned in matching top sides.

The Westerners, at home this week, should gather more momentum towards a final five berth.

The reigning premiers found Penshurst tough opposition last week and with only seven minutes to the final bell led by a goal but gained the advantage, with Chris Keilar kicking three long goals prior to the siren.

Both senior teams will become teams to beat throughout the season.

The sleeping giants of Possum Gully, Woorndoo Mortlake, have woken and with a 213-point win against Moyston Willaura, are holding down second spot on the ladder.

Woorndoo Mortlake will be tested this week when they take on Wickliffe Lake Bolac on its home ground.

Woorndoo had 13 different goal scorers last week but the Magpies have a strong defence and should nullify the forward attacks.

The Magpies have two outstanding players in the Chirnside twins who will test opponents at the weekend.

Tatyoon were big winners over Hawkesdale Macarthur at the weekend but the visit to Penshurst this weekend will be a much tougher game as the Bombers at home are rarely beaten.

Tatyoon's key ball-getters, Jack Antonio, Sean McDougall and the Cronin's will need to control play for most of the game to bring home the four points.

Last week, while speaking to past football administrators, the AFL Country Salary cap and how it was contributing to player loss in community football was raised.

Players from major leagues are avoided by community clubs during recruiting due to the points system, where these players are five pointers.

These players then become supporters instead of players.

With football dropping from the top five Australian sports to the bottom five, maybe administrators should take a look in the mirror.
