Round 13

As the great Shane Crawford famously said " THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT" wow what a game of footy we played. We played the most complete Team game of footy I have been involved with as a Coach. From the very 1st bounce we were uncompromising in the way we played our footy. In round 2 this year Beverly Hills beat us by 70 points so to beat them by 36 points, yes that's a 106 point turnaround is a testament that we have a group of kids who are willing to listen & work hard on their footy. It began on Tuesday night at training where we worked on our tackling & being 1st to the ball & boy did it carry over to our game Sunday. We were absolutely fearless on our attack at the ball all day, simply we were Harder, Faster & Stronger for longer than our opposition. I don't have enough room to mention every single act of every single player's individual brilliant acts but I will mention a few. James had an awesome smother at a very important stage & played his best game for the year, Will was as hard as nails down back & repelled many attacks & also played a brilliant game, Shimmy drove the ball into our forwards all day where our own goal kicking machine was again dangerous finishing with 2 snag rolls, Vinna was strong up forward & a good focal point as was Charlie, K laid a world record tackles, the 4 Musketeers ( Liam, Jorbell, Alex, Patty ) racked up 500 possessions between them & Morgan's game in the ruck made me proud not only as his coach but as his Dad. He was tough & strong from the very 1st bounce & beat 4 different bigger boys, his 2nd & 3rd efforts & tackling were inspiring. Now we need to bring that intensity to our remaining 2 games.
