Dimboola earns a rest after big win
Coach of Dimboola Dean Toet says he's looking forward to allowing his team to recover and rest this Saturday following a big win against the Demons last week.
It'll be a solid week on the track for the side but the coach said the day on Saturday would be welcomed by many of their players to rest their sore bodies.
It follows a resounding win against the Horsham side on Saturday, 21.9 (135) to 7.4 (46).
It was a dominant performance all round for Dimboola, including holding their opposition scoreless in quarter three.
The result came before Toet admitted he had some concerns going into the match as to where the goals were going to come from for the side.
"I'm extremely happy with our performance – we had 21 contributors across the four quarters," Toet told Wimmera Mallee News.
"Our hunt for the footy, pressure around the contests and the way we're sharing the footy is exciting.
"Going into the game, I was a little concerned where our goals were going to come from with some of our key forwards out."
His side had it handled, though, with Ben Brett brilliant at full forward booting five majors.
"Swinging Andrew Moore forward provided us with another option and he also finished with five," Toet said.
"Young Declan Paech was lively with three as well."
But the praise didn't stop there.
"Dylan Landt just goes about his business each week; he sets such a high standard," added the coach.
"Jono Ross is settling back into the gold and green and loving the Wimmera air.
"And we can't go past Simon Hobbs' performance off Half Back, and Ben Miller also had another strong game."
For the Demons, Matthew Long was their only multiple goal scorer, with two, while Billy Carberry and Tyler Blake were among the better players in the losing side.
