Two goals in the first quarter allowed the Lions to get the lead early, before Mansfield kicked three in the second to take control of the game. While the Lions dominated a lot of the play, they were unable to convert on the scoreboard with scores tied deep in the final term. A point from Jack Radford with just 15 seconds to go was enough to get the Lions over the line. Taiten Thomas was tenacious in his attack on the footy and showed great leadership around the ground, well supported by Max McLean who worked tirelessly all day. Joel Durham continued his hot run of form with Jonty Mann also playing a strong game. Jack Davey made a strong return from injury, kicking a goal and bringing strong presence.

Roles were reversed in the second, with Mansfield kicking seven goals straight before the Lions got back in the game in the penultimate quarter. Another seven goal quarter in the last allowed Mansfield to get away with a comfortable win. Inaccurate kicking cost the Lions with 30 scoring shots to Mansfield’s 24. Cooper Holdsworth-Rose played a fantastic game in defence, with James Wooster also showing plenty of leadership behind the ball in a strong game. The midfield combo of Nathan Beattie, Jack Murphy and Lachlan Giles worked hard all day, with Giles continuing to boost his output every week. The Lions now look forward to taking on Euroa at home.
