CASTERTON SANDFORD V MILLICENT
THE draw has not been kind to Casterton Sandford, forcing them to play the two best teams in the competition back to back.
After taking on the top-ranked Roos last round, the Cats now host Millicent in what will be another tough day at the office.
Makayla Hutchins and Scarlett Jarrad were the pick of the Cats last weekend.
They worked hard through the mid-court and will need to be at their best to take on the in-form Georgia Clark, Lisa Duldig and Paige Nitschke.
As it was last week, finding a way to limit supply to a tall shooter will be the key task for the Cats as they look to limit the influence of Tabatha Sanderson.
Tessa Marra, who has moved from the defensive wing to goal keeper in recent outings, looks set to have that job.
She is tight checking and tenacious, but will need her teammates to also apply pressure on the feed.
Ebany Jarrad, Caeleigh Humphries and Charlotte Rice could also be thrown a defensive role.
Not only do they need to shut down Sanderson, they also need to stop Demi Verbena, who comes off a best-on-court performance against South.
Rice, Ivy Lane and Madalene Cleary have shared the shooting duties and they will have to work overtime to find good position against the relentless defensive pressure of Hannah Nitschke and Portia McRae.
Regardless, the Saints will come home with the win.
