North Ballarat will bring the Victorian Football League to Stawell this weekend when it hosts Bendigo Bombers at Central Park on Sunday.
The Roosters and Bombers met for the first time at Central Park in 2007, and following the success of that venture, the fixture will return in 2009.

RICHMOND forward Robin Nahas took it in his stride during a visit to Craigieburn Primary School when a year-five student shouted to him: "You look like one of us!"

Tiger teammates — including Graham Polak, Luke McGuane, Jake King and Dean Polo — broke into broad grins. Said Nahas: "Yeah, I've heard it all before."

PORT Melbourne’s Sam Dwyer went from villain to pin-up boy in his role in the Borough’s great fightback over Geelong at TEAC Oval on Saturday.

Port won by two goals after trailing by 21 points at three-quarter-time.

Dwyer kicked along the ground from 10 metres and missed halfway through the last term as Port was barnstorming home.

Five minutes later John Baird lofted a magnificent pass into centre-half forward and through a screen of players the small Dwyer plucked an overhead grab, went back and converted a more difficult opportunity to level the game.

At the death of the third term the margin was a daunting 27 points when James Podsiadly, who is in his first season as captain of the Cats, slotted the last of his five goals for the match.
