Competitive without results has been the story of Warragul's season this year and Saturday was the perfect encapsulation of that, the Gulls brave but unable to overcome second-placed Moe.

At times Warragul looked the better of the two teams, reflecting the fact that they knocked off the Lions earlier in the year.
Despite that, their inability to make their inside 50s count continued to be their Achilles heel in these kinds of matches.
