Ky takes early lead over Walker-boosted Echuca

The Bombers are leading 31-7 and five goals to one in the opening quarter, needing a strong final month to secure a top six finish.

Carlton legend and former Echuca coach Andrew Walker, who helped institute the round at the club, addressed both sides ahead of the game as part of the Indigenous round commemorations, which also included a smoking ceremony.
