Official Match Report
Ok here's how it goes!
3rd week in a row we have trailed at quarter time. 3rd week in a row we have outplayed and outscored the opposition after quarter time and 3rd week in a row we have come up short by less than a goal.
Today we gave Prahran Blue a start of 6.2 to 1.0 in the first quarter. Then we move Benny Palmer onto the dangerous Prahran Blue forward and along with a bunch of Benny's team mates we have switched into gear and started producing the footy the boys are capable of. After quarter time we outscored them 6.5 to Prahran Blue's 2.3 in what was a very exciting finish.
There were a number of highlights today as the boys played accountable one on one football and willed themselves back into the game. The overhead marking was a feature on a wet, heavy and muddy track with Chaz, Tom G, Calvin, Mason, Joe and Will B all marking strongly. Chaz was fantastic in the second half as he presented, marked and delivered 5 team goals. Overall our tackling improved with Robbie again leading the way with WillB and Xavier showing their rugby backgrounds although the highlight was Tom G, Ferg W & Ferg H gang tackling the opposition during the 3rd quarter to force a turnover.
Today we saw a glimpse of the great footy Tom G, Xavier and a number of the boys are capable of in the second half of the season.
A great effort by all of the boys after quarter time and good things to come if turn up ready to go!
