The AFL 300-game veteran and former Swans junior kicked the last two goals to seal Ballarat’s second win of the season.

Redan ran Ballarat off its legs early to lead by 34 points early in the second quarter.

However, with Petrie dominating the centre bounces with a master class of tap ruck work, Ballarat turned the game around in a five-goal third term to lead by nine points.

The scores were level going into time-on in the last quarter, with Ballarat ultimately wearing down the brave Lions.

Petrie was the difference, providing numerous assists in attack to set up goals.

His time on the ball also allowed Marcus Powling to play deep in attack, where he converted some big grabs to get the Swans back in the game.

Nathan Horbury was again prominent for Redan as was Liam Hoy, and defenders Jack Jess and Pat Britt, who managed to keep Petrie quiet when at full forward.

JACK Landt kicked five goals as Sunbury defeated Sebastopol by 38 points.

Responding in the best possible way to a hiding at the hands of North Ballarat City, the Lions remained unbeaten at home after taking the game away from the Burra in the first half.

Sunbury led by 41 points and then extended to 58 at the last change before allowing Sebastopol to get five consolation goals in the final term.

BACCHUS Marsh put a major dent in Melton’s campaign with another emphatic display –  winning by 108 points.

Jake Owen kicked six goals, Ben. Speight four and Aaron Willitts four as the Cobras firmed as premiership favourites.

Darley had the better of Melton South, while East Point had to dig deep to fend off Lake Wendouree.
