Dimboola ready to finish off regular season
Sitting in third in the A grade Wimmera Football Netball League ladder, Dimboola had the bye last week but are ready to face the final games of the regular season before finals start.
They play Stawell at Central Park this Saturday, before hosting the Eagles at home on August 16, and finally, will line up against the Thunder at Rainbow Recreation Reserve on August 23.
Despite claiming a 17-goal win over the Warriors last time the sides met, Dimboola coach Ant Toet said they weren't taking their competition lightly.
"We knew that the first time we played the Warriors, it took us three quarters to really get on top of them," Toet said.
"We know after our loss against Ararat, you can't underestimate anyone.
"It just didn't happen that day down at Ararat.
"We still fought back but couldn't quite get there."
Toet said that the hard lesson would be applied to all future matches.
"That's a reminder for us that any team on their day can just come out and snatch it," she said.
"We've got to work hard for four quarters.
"We're not underestimating Stawell or Warrack."
Toet said the competition was so tough that every week was hard.
"It's not a given," she said.
"It's going to be a tough match.
"If we want to be there at the end of the season, we've got to rise and give 100 per cent."
If the side hold on to third, they could play their first final at home, with Dimboola set to host the WFNL qualifying final on Saturday August 30.
The Roos would take on Horsham, second – the same side they defeated in round 14.
In other games this Saturday, the Demons are on the road to face the Eagles, Nhill play the Thunder at Hopetoun Recreation Reserve and the Horsham Saints will battle it out with Minyip Murtoa at Minyip Recreation Reserve.
