Well we got the game in on a Sunday arvo and it was a great game. We ended up with 15 a side and that was ok because it is a small ground and the conditions were pretty good as well, a bit slippery under foot as a lot of guys found but, all in all, pretty good. Both teams were pretty well matched with a few first timers in both sides along with the smattering of more seasoned guys. For the black team Grimmo marked well and kicked a couple of goals, definitely looking a little thinner than earlier in the year. Graham and Tim went well and Peter Bradley played the best game I have seen him play, taking marks kicking and good general disposal in play. got a couple of falcons as well, one directly off the boot. The black team had 2 new guys to us, one of whom is now I think a soccer convert. He got a number of kicks in general play and took a couple of marks. Graham played his usual good game all over the field, causing a bit of havoc. Brownie went well with he and Scotty Bond competing for the ball and I do think that although he is a bit short of a run, Brownie got the upper hand on a few occasions in their duels. For the blue team Shane could not earn a kick anywhere, no matter what he did and he covered plenty of ground. Steve and Daryl combined well with Jimmy on a number of occasions and got the ball moving with smart accurate handball and short kicks. Chris played a great game up forward and took a number of marks, both on the chest and overhead and then converted about 3 or 4 times. Have not seen him play a better game since he joined us this year. The bride was there today, maybe that spurred him on. Everybody deserves a mention today because there were a number of very good passages of play. I think everybody got a plenty of touches and a lot of goals kicked by both teams. Darren could not earn a kick no matter what he did and Rowdy reckons he got a finger to every ball that the opposition was awarded a goal for. The whole game was played in the correct manner, that being, FOOTY FOR FUN, and I am sure you all enjoyed yourselves. |
