SWFL men’s: Bunbury and Augusta-Margaret River register triple-digit wins over Eaton and Collie

Joel Houghton’s second 10-goal bag of the South West Football League season led Bunbury to a 159-point drubbing of Eaton at Glen Huon Reserve on Sunday. The Bulldogs led by 68 points at the main break and showed no mercy on the Boomers in the second half, piling on another 14 majors to kick the biggest score of the season while holding the hosts to the year’s lowest total so far in the 27.12 (174) to 2.3 (15) domination. Houghton’s haul sees him move to the top of the competition’s goal-kicking charts with 32 from his five games, while Fraser Gilchrist (five goals), veteran Jesse Gribble and Baiden Parsons (three) also stood out in the big win. Sunday’s other game was also a one-sided affair, with Augusta-Margaret River smashing an injury-depleted Collie by 118 points at Gloucester Park. A 10-goal haul from Jack McMahon with able support from Kaspa Donovan (four goals), Matthew Bannister and Steven Payne (both two goals) saw the Hawks register their second consecutive win in a massive 23.23 (161) to 6.7 (43) result, shooting them up to fifth on the ladder. Former West Coast Eagle Jarrod Cameron debuted for the Eagles in the heavy loss after being cleared from WAFL club Swan Districts, kicking one goal and being named among his side’s best. Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday night, losing to Carey Park by 23 points at Kelly Park. The Lions had opened the season in impressive fashion with five straight wins but were left stunned by a five-goal to none third-quarter blitz from the Panthers, who ran out 11.7 (73) to 7.8 (50) winners. Brodie Morris, captain Jaxon Bell and Jamahl Mulholland, who brought up a 100-game milestone on the night, were among the strongest performers for the hosts who moved up to sixth on the ladder with the victory.
