SENIORS PREVIEW – St Pauls V East Brighton - Sponsored by Merkon Constructions
A final against our arch rival East Brighton always brings out the ferocious best in both teams. The weather has a real September finals feel about it and the boys are as up and about as you would ever see them. Coach Paul Howroyd has a healthy list to pick from and this week provides a great opportunity to advance straight through to the big one… Bring it on!!
RESERVES Qualifying final V Chelsea Heights - Sponsored by Total Waste Management
Whilst we fielded a good side on paper… unfortunately we couldn’t bring it out onto the park on game day in a very scrappy low scoring affair with Chelsea Heights prevailing by 17 points. On the flip side, having the second chance gives the boys another crack at showing the other finals contenders what we are really capable of. Some of the positives to come out of the game was the form of on-ballers, Bryce Hayes and Rhys Peet and whilst our backline came under a lot of fire our mainstays in Ben McCarthy, Jack Kreymborg and Ryan Smith all stood up. Sometimes form can desert you but the Shadow predicts a massive turnaround this week and the gathering of some momentum from here on in, it’s the Doggy way…
Under 19’s Elimination final V Dingley - Sponsored by the Cushion Lounge
The 19’s did the club and supporters proud with their tenacious 4 quarter performance and registered a 39 point win against our great rival, Dingley. In the hard ball get stakes we had Bobby Carracher leading the way with his trademark kamikaze style and he willed us into the contest when it was at its hottest. Classy mids Birdy, Beau, Braggers and Pauly T combined wonderfully well around the stoppages to setup many scoring chances. Down back Jordan Lloyd, Numbers and Dylan Stewart gave us tremendous drive and ran with the footy to break the lines on several occasions. Up forward Stubbsy, Gluten, Whispers, Connor and Wheels all created some headaches with their mobility. The move of Herby into the ruck was a winner and Timmy Roberts just controls the footy no matter what position he plays. Well done boys.
