AVSL Round 5 Wrap 2024-25
A hot windy day at Aberfeldie made for uncomfortable conditions. We ended the round in 7th place with a score of 21 684 points.
This round’s Premier Division ladder was EAG, DIV, ESS, WEN, SBE, MEN, WES, GHY, CHI and BOH.
If we exclude the extra Power Play rounds for EAG, MEN and WES, then the cumulative ladder is:
EAG 49, DIV 46, ESS 36, WEN 28, GHY 28, WES 25, MEN 22, SBE 21, BOH 14 and CHI 8. It’s the halfway point of the season and we are in 6th place.
We now need to have a few very good rounds in the second half of the season if we wish to finish in the top 5 in the State. Rounds 6 and 9 are at Doncaster, Round 7 at Whittlesea and Rounds 8 and 10 are at Aberfeldie.
