The Falcons edged out the Magpies, 9.8 (62) to 9.4 (58).
Jarrod Marolla continued his fine form, booting four goals; the forward has eight goals in just three matches.

The Lightening’s straight kicking kept them in it for the best part of three quarters, but the Lions ultimately edged away.
Lyndhurst had kicked six straight to three quarter time, but its lack of opportunities in front of goal led to the 8.3 (51) to 9.9 (63) defeat.
The Lightening (third) can push away from the fourth placed Frankston Dolphins if it’s to secure a win next week.
Hallam, meanwhile, was out of the match from the outset in its clash against Frankston Dolphins.
The Dolphins put on four goals to one in the first and then held the Hawks to just two minor scores after half time, coming away 9.11 (65) to 2.5 (17) winners.
Cameron Parker was judged best afield for the Hawks, while Harrison Morgan was among the best for the Dolphins.
A strong finish for Dandenong wasn’t enough to see the Redlegs gain their first win of the season.

Brock Jenkins was terrific for the red and blue, booting four in a dominant display.
For Lyndhurst, Trevor Kumetaitis slotted six.

PREMIER DIVISION
ROUND 2
Noble Park wasn’t able to make it a two and zero start to the season, going down to premiership favourites Vermont.
The Bulls gave the visitors an early buffer, kicking just one goal to Vermont’s three in the opening term.
Once the rain hit, the deficit was too great to reel in for the Bulls, ultimately going down 5.7 (37) to 7.13 (55).
Unsurprisingly, Kyle Martin was named in the best for the Bulls, while Ryan Morrison was also impressive.
