NTFA Division One: Pyengana set to host grand final rematch

With a "burning desire" to get back to the biggest stage, Evandale coach James Storay is excited for the challenge.

"It'll be a good test for our boys after squaring the ledger," he said.

Doubling as East Coast's annual Pyengana game, coach Ned Hyland is bursting with excitement heading into the Coast's celebration.

"It brings a great atmosphere to the Coast, everyone around the club and in the community talks about it."

LILYDALE and Old Scotch are set for an emotional clash as they remember one of their favourite sons and celebrate the career of another.

Playing for the Keian Brown trophy, Lilydale coach Colin Lockhart praised 100th-gamer Corey Lockett.

"He is very underrated and has been the best full-back in the competition but doesn't get recognition," he said.

Disappointed with last week's result but impressed with his side's growth, Old Scotch coach Shaun Muller said Saturday's game is a privilege.

"Lilydale are the best side in it, both professionally and talent-wise and it is a privilege to play on this day to remember Keian," he said.

OLD LAUNCESTONIANS return from the bye and face Bridport as they look to recover from last week's loss with a major scalp.

Blues coach Paul Beechey feels like the bye came at a good time following a test of depth and sees this as a dangerous encounter.

"The stakes are pretty high. They sit around that fifth spot and we are in the top three and they haven't been far off the pace," he said.

After feeling like they "let themselves down" last week, coach Adam Howlett is excited at the possibilities ahead.

"We still feel like we haven't played our best footy yet. Hopefully we can do so here and come away with the four points," he said.

MEANDER VALLEY look to send their milestone men, Rob Shaw and Alex Wadley, home with a win against Uni Mowbray.

Last week pleased coach Damien Rhind but he knows there's a long way to go.

"The reality is we've only won two games so far this season and we played four quarters last week of quality footy and I reckon it's the key to success," he said.

Improving around the ground, Uni coach Alan Perrin is focusing on goal-scoring this week.

"They picked up quality players in the off-season and will certainly be a force to be reckoned with in our competition," he said.

PERTH will have to find some of their early season form as they face St Pats in a do-or-die encounter.

After a disappointing loss last week, coach Josh Holton wants a prolonged effort.

"We're confident we can come away with the win if we put in a four-quarter effort and are consistent," he said.

Finding a way to win has St Pats in fourth spot and coach Alex Russell wants it to continue.

"Perth's best footy is in their top end so if we give a bit of attention to them, I feel we can go into the break continuing our streak," he said.

The Magpies predict three changes as Daniel Sellers shapes as a key in for St Pats.
