The dictionary defines a ‘shark tale’ as a ridiculously fictitious piece of storytelling.  So, wouldn’t it be fun to dream a little, and tell a Shark’s tale of a sensational come-from-behind Doncaster victory in the 2H of last Saturday’s senior match at Vermont –in much the same way it really did happen back in the […]

The expectations of a healthy improvement in playing strength of the Doncaster Sharks in 2021 took a considerable jolt last Saturday when we were well-beaten by an impressive South Croydon team to the tune of 69 points at Cheong Park. Yes, there were several experienced Sharks missing from this Round 1 action and yes, ‘one […]

It was a disappointing finish to a tough 2019 season for both teams when Doncaster and Norwood met last Saturday at Mullum Mullum Reserve. An injury-ravaged Sharks were convincingly beaten by 47 pts by a better-organised opposition, thus ending the Sharks 6-game winning streak over Norwood.  And the Norsemen themselves, having quashed the notion of […]

LAST SATURDAY – On a wet, heavy ground, but surely better than the Quambee ‘quagmires’ of yesteryear, our determined Doncaster Sharks slipped and slogged their way to a satisfying 11 pt away win over a persistent North Ringwood side.  This was our fourth win for the season and was achieved through a terrific team effort […]

For the second time this season the Doncaster and Blackburn footy clubs have fought out a spirited, close game but only for the Sharks to again fail by a kick to bring home the bacon.  Saturday’s away loss to the ‘Burners’ by 5 pts follows a similar loss by 6 pts to them at Schramms […]

Bouncing back after the slippery slopes of Vermont, our Doncaster Sharks put in a much improved away-performance against Rowville in Round 12, taking the game right up to the 3rd-placed Hawks before losing the match late in the 4Q by 14pts. Despite the disappointment of the loss, there was much to like about the Sharks’ […]

There were plenty of “thumbs-up” and “you bloody bewdies” echoing around Schramm’s at the final siren last Saturday when the mighty Sharks gallantly held off a determined Norwood side to win by the barest of margins.  Hearty congrats go to Stewie and the team on this confidence-building win, achieved in what was a real ‘thriller-diller’ […]
