Benalla is really starting to hit its straps, with many around the league sitting up and taking notice of last year’s runner up.
They have not lost since the narrow defeat at the end of May at home against Shepparton United.
Key forward Joshua Mellington is at the top of his game and leads the goal-kicking table with back-to-back bags of goals.
Alistair Jacka, coach, Luke Morgan, Thomas Bennett, Sam Martyn and reigning Morrison Medallist, William Martiniello have been getting plenty of the ball in recent weeks.
Shepparton have been extremely competitive in its matches this year.
Brad Campbell has done an excellent job in taking the Bears forward during the re-build.
The likes of Mitchell Brett, Nikolaus Rokahr and Liam Duguid are ones to have benefitted from the senior experience while ruckman Ashley Holland, leader Rhys O'Sullivan and Timothy Kelly provide the team with the grunt and structure.
Campbell says this will be a massive challenge for his young Bears from a few weeks ago where they were competitive against the highly fancied Saints.
