The Saints produced their best four-quarter performance this year in dismantling Wangaratta Rovers by 54 points.

But the undefeated Tigers are a world away from the winless Rovers.

Some of Myrtleford’s profile players were their best against the Hawks and they’ll need to replicate that to have any hope of keeping within 50 points.

VFL player Nathan Laracy (Werribee) joined fellow State League midfielder Elijah Wales (Footscray), along with Victoria Country representative Matt Dussin and O and M interleague utility Hugh Wales, in fine form.

The Tigers though welcome back Dean Polo and Kieran Ellis.

Ellis has been clever in defence, while Polo has spent time forward after dominating in the midfield and defence since joining the club in 2013 after his stint at the elite level with Richmond and then St Kilda.

There’s more good news for the Tigers with Jessy Wilson selected after he injured his leg in the 125-point pounding of North Albury.

Albury has few weaknesses, but it will be working on its inaccuracy in the run home.

The Tigers have failed to kick more goals than points in the last six games.

In that time, the runaway minor premiers have kicked 105 majors and 115 behinds.

If they can fix that in the coming weeks, it could be scary for one of the teams outside the top five.

Albury defeated the Saints by 121 points in round five.
