DEMON BLOW
Lockhart ruckman Neil Irwin will miss Saturday's crunch match against Billabong Crows.
After starring against Murray Magpies last weekend, the mobile big-man will sit out the clash due to a wedding.
On round one form, Irwin could be one of the recruits of the season.
Demon teammate Ashley Middleton has been suspended for a week for misconduct.
TOUGH TIMES
Like most leagues, clubs are finding it hard tough for junior numbers.
Howlong could only field eight under-17 players against Rand-Walbundrie-Walla at the weekend while Murray Magpies listed 10 players in the under-17s and 12 in the under-14s.
TWO MORE
Brock-Burrum's Nico Sedgwick still has another two weeks suspension to serve from last year's grand final.
Sedgwick sat out last weekend's win over Jindera and will miss vital clashes against Culcairn and Holbrook.
The Saints look set to get stronger in coming weeks with running backmen Lachie Boyd and Chris Boulton returning.
GOAL OF THE YEAR CONTENDER
It didn't take Spider star Steve Jolliffe long to stake a claim for the bragging rights.
Jolliffe swooped on a ball near the boundary during the second quarter of last weekend's clash against Rand-Walbundrie-Walla, evaded several opponents and snapped truly over his shoulder.
Howlong look a genuine finals contender if it can keep Jolliffe, Matt McDonald, Ben Baker and Peter Hancock up and running in the centre square.
