Jonathon Marsh had a field day kicking a massive 5 goals.

Jed Hagan had a great debut game for the Sharks kicking two goals and adding 20 disposals whilst looking comfortable playing League footy and proving that he is a genuine draft prospect.

League Coach Bill Monaghan said that there are many challenges to come for the Sharks heading to the finals. “We played a top side last week in South and underperformed. We play West Perth next weekend in another top of the table game and that is going to be a great challenge. Our challenges are going to be greater going further over the next period”.

“People don’t think we are the real deal and that offends me because we have worked hard”, said Monaghan. The Sharks are expected to see the return of regular League players Dillon O’Reilly, Jamie Meade, Alex Montauban, Max Murphy and Tom Monaghan over the next few weeks while Jeremy Goddard is available after serving a 2 week suspension.
