Antonio Giampa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ONES TO WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dandenong has the luxury of calling upon a handful of Vic Country representatives, headlined by skipper <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"134608\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/noah-hibbins-hargreaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves<\/a>. Making his name as a clutch goalkicker, the first round talent is hitting top form both at Coates Talent League and National Championships level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are stars scattered on every line, with <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"153884\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/max-lee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Lee<\/a> likely to feature in defence along with bottom-age swingman <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"165020\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/darcy-szerszyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Darcy Szerszyn<\/a>, while onballer <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"134666\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/callum-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Callum Smith<\/a> and wingman <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"134619\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/toby-sinnema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toby Sinnema<\/a> stake their claims through the middle third. Needless to say, the Stingrays won&#8217;t be short on quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oakleigh&#8217;s sole Vic Metro representative is <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"184299\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/hunter-holmes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Holmes<\/a>, the brother of Geelong star Max. He&#8217;s a prospect with similar traits to his elder sibling in the way of speed, able to play on the inside or outside. Watch for him to take the game on and carve a way forward with his running strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of Holmes, Oakleigh&#8217;s key feature is its over-age brigade. A staggering five are set to line up for the Chargers after the midway point of the season, including Collingwood-tied midfielder <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"114416\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/doug-kerr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr<\/a> and defender <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"131145\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/luke-quaynor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luke Quaynor<\/a> &#8211; the brother of current Magpie, Isaac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chargers have also retained <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"127399\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/noah-yze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noah Yze<\/a>, the son of Richmond coach Adem, who has plied his trade in midfield of late. Key position utility and former Vic Metro representative <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"114328\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/lucas-tovey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lucas Tovey<\/a> has also been named along with intercept defender <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"153794\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/josh-shepherd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Josh Shepherd<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PREDICTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The form guide tells the tale of how this one should go down. Dandenong has superior top-end quality out there and should again have the wood over Oakleigh in their customary night clash in Frankston. Stingrays by 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-round-11-fixture\">ROUND 11 FIXTURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dandenong Stingrays vs. Oakleigh Chargers<br>Saturday June 14, 6:10pm @ Kinetic Stadium<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GWV Rebels vs. Murray Bushrangers<br>Sunday June 15, 11am @ La Trobe University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Ranges vs. Geelong Falcons<br>Sunday June 15, 11:30am @ Healesville Sports Complex<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gippsland Power vs. Western Jets<br>Sunday June 15, 1:10pm @ Morwell Recreation Reserve<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/noah-hibbins-hargreaves\/\">Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/max-lee\/\">Max Lee<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/darcy-szerszyn\/\">Darcy Szerszyn<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/callum-smith\/\">Callum Smith<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/toby-sinnema\/\">Toby Sinnema<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/hunter-holmes\/\">Hunter Holmes<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/doug-kerr\/\">Doug Kerr<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/luke-quaynor\/\">Luke Quaynor<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/noah-yze\/\">Noah Yze<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/lucas-tovey\/\">Lucas Tovey<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/josh-shepherd\/\">Josh Shepherd<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_e\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/event\/dandenong-stingrays-vs-oakleigh-chargers-16\/\">Dandenong Stingrays vs Oakleigh Chargers<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SINGLE Saturday fixture kicks off a shortened Round 11 in the Coates Talent League, as Dandenong Stingrays lock horns with Oakleigh Chargers under lights in Frankston.
