GSFL 2025: Albany claim dominant victory over winless North Albany as Peake and Davies boot combined 11 goals

Albany kicked their biggest score of the season, marching to a 90-point victory over North Albany at Retravision Stadium on Saturday in round seven of the Great Southern Football League competition. The Kangas trailed by 36 points at half-time but conceded 13 goals in the second half as the floodgates opened. Brett Peake booted six and Morgan Davies bagged five, the pair hard to stop in the front half as the Sharks claimed a 22.18 (150) to 9.6 (60) triumph. The Sharks had six goals on the board at quarter-time and nine by the long break as the Kangas hung in there, with four of their own at half-time. However, the reigning premiers clicked up a gear in the last half, leading by 76 points by the end of the third term and adding another six goals in the final quarter to register their fifth win of the season. Bailey Taylor and Isaac Baum were terrific and both kicked four majors, while Brock Anning and Max Grimes also impressed. 'Our boys played well, as did North Albany,' Sharks coach Roy Addis said. 'They stayed with us well for the first half and applied pressure; we were able to maintain our style of play in the second half and absorb that pressure and run away with it.' Wingman Robbie Lee returned from concussion and Harrison Hordacre chipped in with four majors. Jyrin Woods was a strong contributor for the Kangas with three goals and well supported by Matt Orzel, David Arthur, Kobi Keen and Tomas O'Farrell in the back line, and Jackson Wray in the midfield. Veteran Graham Ross finished with four goals for the winless Kangas. The Kangas' woes continued with captain Nick Barrow suffering a hamstring injury that is likely to sideline him for at least a fortnight. Kangas coach Brad Bootsma said he was proud of the team's performance despite the loss. 'I think we played really competitively in the first half, but they just wore us down as the game went on,' he said. 'We showed our youth again on the weekend; I think their maturity and the stamina there got the better of us in the end. 'We struggled to stop their ball movements a lot of the time. We couldn't turn that momentum back around once it was going their way, but that just comes with maturity and experience and I was really proud of the way the boys played this week.'

GSFL 2025: New leader in coaches votes award as McNamara and Parker pick up perfect 10s in Belt-Up Round

Declan McNamara and Hayden Parker scored perfect 10s in the Great Southern Football League Coaches Player of the Year Award in Belt-Up Round at the weekend. Mt Barker star Darcy Wallinger has taken the outright lead in the coaches' votes after four rounds of the new season, sitting three votes clear of last year's winner and Kleemann Medallist Ryley Valli. McNamara received the Belt-Up Round match ball after a dominant midfield display in Royals' narrow win over North Albany at Retravision Stadium on Sunday, picking up five votes from each coach. The Lions gun moved inside the top 10 on the leaderboard and he sits just nine votes behind Wallinger. Parker booted 10 goals in a brilliant game up forward as Railways thumped Denmark-Walpole at Keep The Sheep Stadium. He received the Belt-Up Round match ball as well and was unanimously judged best on ground, with 10 votes propelling him up the leaderboard as well. In the other round four fixture, Bulls ruckman Keane Griffiths received the Belt-Up Round ball from the umpires and picked up eight coaches votes in the process as his side beat the Sharks by five points at Sounness Park. Sharks' Isaac Baum and Wallinger picked up seven votes each in that game to continue their strong seasons thus far. Railways' Jayden Scott is third overall ahead of Sharks pair Bryce Blaszkow and Baum and just five votes separate the top five on the leaderboard. Each league coach votes 5-4-3-2-1 for players on both sides at the end of every game. 2025 Coaches' Player of the Year Award Voting Round 4 Mt Barker v Albany 8 Keane Griffiths (MB) 7 Isaac Baum (ALB) 7 Darcy Wallinger (MB) 4 Darcy Clarke (MB) 2 Taj Williams (ALB) 1 Bailey Taylor (ALB) 1 Daniel Patching (MB) Railways v Denmark-Walpole 10 Hayden Parker (RAIL) 7 Lachie Cale (RAIL) 6 Coen Marwick (RAIL) 3 Ryley Valli (RAIL) 2 Hayden Leo (RAIL) 1 Ryan Hick (DW) 1 Jayden Scott (RAIL) Royals v North Albany 10 Declan McNamara (ROY) 8 Matt Orzel (NA) 3 Joel Flick (ROY) 3 Cleve Humphries (ROY) 2 Ulrich Kriek (NA) 2 Brayden Parker (ROY) 2 Kobi Keen (NA) Leaderboard 23: Darcy Wallinger (MB) 20: Ryley Valli (RAIL) 19: Jayden Scott (RAIL) 18: Bryce Blaszkow (ALB) Isaac Baum (ALB) 15: Taj Williams (ALB) 14: Daniel Patching (MB) Declan McNamara (ROY) 13: Seb Ballard (MB) Darcy Clarke (MB) Hayden Parker (RAIL) 12: Tyler Stone (DW) Lachie Cale (RAIL) Matt Orzel (NA) Kobi Keen (NA) 11: Kane Pinney (ALB) 10: Sam Holmes (ALB)
