Great Western returned to the winners' list last week, easily outclassing fifth-placed Woorndoo Mortlake by 57 points.

The Westerns held their opponents to a final half of 2 goals 4, whilst adding 10 goals 13.

Gerard Cunningham kicked six goals and Steve Lorenzo three for the Westerns, with Andrew Cameron, Sam Cocks and Nick Dunford big contributors. The Westerns may find this week's match a percentage builder against Caramut, who is playing for its third consecutive win - a first in a long period.

Tatyoon, fighting for a finals berth from sixth place, needs points plus percentage to displace a higher-placed team should upsets filter into the equation. Saturday's game against the Ararat Eagles may assist. Tatyoon's Mitch Cronin led the way for the Hawks last week, kicking six goals and earning best afield, assisted by Sam Thompson and Jack Antonio.

Penshurst has sent a message to all clubs in its last two games - "we have arrived for premiership honours". A major victory against unbeaten Great Western and an absolute thumping of Glen Dunkeld last week, highlights its current form. Playing SMW Rovers this weekend, Penshurst should keep its ladder position.

Prior to the game last week, SMW Rovers' Nic Byrne was honoured by both clubs, playing his 300th senior game for the club. Nic has been a role model both at his club and for the Mininera District Football League.

Wickliffe Lake Bolac rapidly stamped its authority on last week's game against the SMW Rovers and at the long break had the game well in hand - 9 goals up and dominating play through Harley Hunter, Nick Chirnside, Addison Milner and Rhys Cottam-Stanley, who chipped in with 6 goals.

The Magpies at home face Moyston Willaura this week and, with a complete complement of players for selection, should gain the points.

The Mininera League met with representatives of AFL Western on Tuesday to discuss a Junior Football review of the western area of the state; this review may concern the south west area of the league but also community football. No mention of netball has surfaced if changes happen.
