Anakie coach Jayke Mawson isn’t shying away from the importance of Saturday’s clash with Thomson, as last year’s elimination finalists attempt to remain in touch with the GDFNL top five.
The Roos sit ninth on the ladder after the first third of the season, two games outside the log-jammed top five, where four teams share 4-2 win-loss records.
A win over the Tigers at De Motts Road will, at worst, bring Anakie to within a game of fifth place.
