GVL Data | Echuca trumps Euroa in low-scoring grand final rematch

With the two clubs renowned for their physical clashes in recent seasons, pressure around the contest has been the area where these games have been won and lost, and it is what helped the Murray Bombers in the 6.11 (47) to 5.8 (38) win.

Echuca enjoyed 25 more contested possessions than Euroa, and heading into the final quarter with a one-point lead, the Murray Bombers trumped the Pies in the category +10.

And while Euroa proved better aerially, Echuca was allowed too much unrestricted ball movement in that fateful final term, out-marking Euroa 31-13 in the fourth quarter — 29 coming uncontested opposed to the Pies’ eight.
