Several Murray Bombers are hitting their straps as Goulburn Valley League finals loom, including one of Echuca’s star off-season additions.
Against Shepparton Bears, Liam Tenace returned from a five-week hiatus and booted six goals. But beyond his final haul, he was also industrious around the ground, collecting 21 disposal, eight marks and 10 contested possessions.
Sam Reid also starred in his third game back from injury, tallying a game-high 29 disposals, 10 contested possessions and six clearances.
Dan Willis booted five goals along with his 22 disposals and Mitch Wales was on the fringes of the contest, grabbing 28 disposals, 20 uncontested.
For a Bears outfit missing the presence of star defender Ted Lindon, Nick Allan’s 28 disposals and 20 contested possessions helped his side register an improved performance from its 156-point defeat to Echuca earlier in the season.
