All attention in the EDFNL will turn to Longwarry Recreation Reserve on Saturday, as Jason Wells will shoot for his 100th goal of the season.
Trying to restrict him from doing so for as long as possible will be Catani.
The dynamic Crows forward enters the contest on 99 majors, having taken to the bench after booting his fourth goal during the second quarter of last week's contest with Yarragon.
Expect Longwarry to look for Wells early before going about their business in a contest they will be expecting to win.
BOTH Nyora and Yarragon will look to get back on the winners list when they meet.
The Panthers suffered a big loss to Longwarry despite Wells sitting out most of the contest, while the Saints would be disappointed with their loss to Poowong given their improved form.
Being three games and significant percentage outside of the top five, Yarragon face a difficult task to qualify but will be out to demonstrate their improvement.
OTHER sides in the top five will look to further consolidate their positions.
It's now likely a race of six, Ellinbank two wins outside but have a healthy enough percentage should they be able to get some wins on the board.
They'll need to take some scalps along the way, with their next challenge coming in the form of a Trafalgar side looking to bounce back following a disappointing loss to Buln Buln.
AN improving Bunyip will host ladder leader Neerim-Neerim South.
The Bulldogs have been in improved form in recent weeks and will hope to put forward a competitive effort against the undefeated Cats.
BULN BULN enter its contest with Nilma-Darnum looking to move another step towards securing a double chance.
The reigning premier demonstrated its improved form in a comfortable victory over fellow hopeful Trafalgar to put them back in the mix.
LANG LANG will look to move closer to securing another finals appearance when they host Poowong.
Should results fall their way, the gap to sxith-placed Ellinbank could extend to three games with only five left to play.
