GVL Data | Last time they played: Shepparton and Echuca

Before the two outfits butt heads on Saturday, it's time to glance back at the May 14 contest.

Thanks to GVL Data, we can look at the numbers behind the Murray Bombers' dominance.

Echuca owned possession in the round six encounter with a whopping 406 to 225 disposal count.

The ladder leader flexed its muscles with plus 83 in contested possessions and plus 66 marks.

The Bears were unable to get their hands on the ball and even when they managed to achieve that they quickly turned it over.

Shepparton went at 44 per cent by foot and 61 per cent by hand in the loss.

Echuca would go on to score 18.8 (116) from turnovers.

No doubt cleaning up their disposal by foot will be one key area for Bears coach Ted Lindon.

Shepparton is ranked last in the competition for kicking efficiency with 55 per cent, compared to Echuca's 65.

However, it's not all bad news for the Bears.

Shepparton is ranked fourth in the league for tackles and averages 60.4 per match.

Back on their home turf at Deakin Reserve, expect the young, spirited Bears to learn from their mistakes and bring the heat to Echuca this time around.
