Keith Storey Trophy - A long history of the Dragon Class at RBYC

This attractive half model is the trophy for the Dragon Class Season’s aggregate. It was first awarded to Lyla (Arthur Woodland) in 1972/73.
Congratulations to 176 Amazing Grace (Charles Stanton) who won it for the 2021/ 22 season. Unfortunately, the trophy couldn’t be found in time for Presentation Night, but it has since been located, and will occupy a safe place back in the trophy cabinet.

On the field: Brisbane won a close game over St Kilda on Friday night at Marvel Stadium by 15 points. The Saints made the game interesting with 4 late goals in the third term to take a 5 point lead at the final change, but could not manage a major score in the final term as the Lions steadied. On Saturday the Western Bulldogs kept their finals' hopes alive with a very narrow win over GWS by 5 points. North Melbourne fought very hard in Ben Cunnington's return match but Adelaide piled on the pressure in the final term to record a 29-point win. Fremantle beat their crosstown rivals WCE by 4 goals and Geelong locked up the top spot on the ladder with a solid 60-point win over Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.

The Saturday night match between Melbourne-Carlton at the MCG was an absorbing contest. A win for the Blues would have assured them a finals' berth for the first time in a decade and when they held an 8-point lead beyond the 30-minute mark in the final term they looked to be home. It wasn't to be, however, as Melbourne got out of jail late with 2 goals in the final two minutes of the game to snatch a 5-point victory. Carlton players and supporters were crestfallen. If the Bulldogs defeat Hawthorn next week and the Blues lose to arch-rivals Collingwood, Carlton's season will be over - having been in the top 8 and sometimes the top 4 for the entire season, that will be a bitter pill. (Note: in 1977 Carlton was in the top 5 all season but 2 losses to finish the home-away matches saw them drop back to 6th and miss the finals that season).

In the Sunday games, Richmond assured themselves a spot in this year's finals with a thumping 61-point win over Hawthorn. Collingwood's 11-game winning streak ended when they lost to the Sydney Swans at the SCG by 27 points. While the Swans played really well, the 'Pies were missing both Jordan de Goey and Jack Ginnivan in this game. The Swans moved up to second place on the ladder with this win. Port Adelaide recorded a huge 84-point win over Essendon in the late game. The Power set up their win by kicking 7 goals to nil in the second quarter.

Tipping: scores were very high this weekend. Congratulations to John Naughton, Rockinghorseroad, Roy Boys 12, Romney J, Sean Hogan, The_Urq, Botony, K2Health and CD Saint all of whom managed 9 winners this week. Very well done. We have 2 winners of a $20.00 dining credit at RBYC to be awarded to John Naughton and Rockinghorseroad - both these tipsters were equal closest on the margin amongst those who tipped 9 winners. Great work gents.

John Naughton retains the top spot on the overall leaderboard with 140 total tips. Here are our top 10 tipsters with just one round remaining - wishing all of you who are still in contention a great round of tipping next week.:
