Gippsland Giants key forward Liam Scott has sprained his ankle and is expected to miss the upcoming game against Hallam.
Mildura Magic keep building momentum, this time by hosting a team dinner at the 5-star steakhouse in the city.
Gippsland Giants V Hallam Heroes
Despite being without Liam Scott, the Giants still manage to get the win, fueled by a 12-4 run in the final 3 minutes. It seemed that if Jayson Tatum III (0 goals 4 behinds) could just kick the ball straight the Heroes could have thumped the Giants.
Final Score: Giants 108-101 Heroes
Albury-Wodonga Angels V Weribee Wanderers

Queenscliff Quokkas V Caufield Cannons
This was a very close matchup until 14 seconds left. Zenie Quan makes a sneaky run behind Jayse Wiggles and takes the mark. The crowd is roaring at this point. The Quokkas are down by 3 points, and this could put them ahead. The siren sounds and Zenie Quan starts to run up. The away Cannons fans booing him as he takes his steps. He kicks the ball and............. IT GOES STRAIGHT TROUGH THE MIDDLE POSTS. ZENIE QUAN HAS KICKED A GAME WINNER.
Final Score: Quokkas 102-99 Cannons
