The Western Jets’ season ended on Sunday at the hands of
neighbours the Calder Cannons in a 35-point defeat at Princes Park.
Calder kicked four of the first five goals and kept Western at arm’s
length thereafter in the 16.11 (107) to 10.12 (72) result.

Western was
within 18 points at three-quarter time but Calder’s six goals to three
ended any hopes of a comeback.
James Sicily booted three goals as
Western’s only multiple goalkicker, while Melton’s Lachlan Hickey and
Darley duo Brett Bewley and Billy Myers were named among the best.
Calder advances to a preliminary final against Dandenong Stingrays for a
spot in the grand final. On Sunday night, a crazy Morrish Medal count
saw four medals awarded after an unprecedented quadruple tie.
