Official Match Report
A well balanced team performance today by the boys although beaten on the scoreboard. Ormond got the jump on us in the first quarter when their onballers ran forward and put our back line under fierce pressure. Calvin Payne played a great game today and his marking and general reading of the ball at full back in the first quarter was a highlight. Unfortunately Ormond did the damage in the first quarter with 3 goals to nil and that was really the story of the day. For the next 3 quarters the boys worked hard and matched them. The team was well lead by this weeks captain Sam McConchie who scored back to back best on ground awards for his hard work around the ball and constant pressure. He was backed up by Charlie Dean who played another strong game marking well overhead and defending strongly. Will Bainbridge continued to impress in just his 3rd game for the club with a classy game off half back. Congrats to Xavier Keogh on his first game for the Bloods!
As a team we need to improve on playing in front and beating our opponents 1 on 1 which we will continue to work on at training.
