Round 15 - 09/08/2009 St Mary's Under 13 - Blue (W) 5.10.40 vs. Fitzroy 6.8.44

Playing our last game for the year and the boys wanting to redeem themselves for last week. The boys came out and put in one of their best 100% efforts for the year. All the scoring was done at one end of the ground and it was only in the last 30 seconds of the match that Fitzroy hit the front. The boys should be proud of their efforts today and for the whole year. Some real positives from each and every player for the year. Make sure you stick together as a group for 2010.

Round 14 - 02/08/2009 St Mary's Under 13 - Blue (W) 0.0.0 vs. Glen Iris 12.4.76

Playing our last home game for the year, the boys were primed for a good game after last week. But being 2nd in for the ball and not manning up cost us dearly in the first half. In the second half it was a much better effort. But it was left to too few to do the work. With one game remaining, the boys need to finish off with a win and restore some much needed confidence. Let's get to training and finish off the year.

Round 13 - 26/07/2009 St Mary's Under 13 - Blue (W) 2.3.15 vs. St Marys Blue T 5.3.33

Playing against the other St Marys team, the boys were pumped for a big game. They came out hard at it and attacked the ball really hard it was a close contested game. An unfortunate incident saw a player stretchered off. In the end it was a great game and our boys should be proud of their efforts. Let's finish off the season well.

Playing in very windy conditions, the boys did very well in restricting the opposition. It was very much the same in the 2nd term. Not enough guys however put their bodies on the line. The 2nd half saw a complete reversal, the boys were first in, ran the ball well and most importantly got the score on the board. A fantastic team effort and something to be proud of.

Round 8 - 14/06/2009 St Mary's Under 13 - Blue (W) 1.4.10 vs. Richmond 13.7.85

We took the field today with the challenge of playing the top team. The boys came out and showed plenty of heart and desperation in the first half. This wasn't rewarded on the scoreboard. The 2nd half saw us drop away through not following their men and being 2nd for the footy. The backline did a great job allday, but received little help from others. Today showed us that you have to work hard for 4 quarters not just part of the game.

Round 7 - 31/05/2009 St Mary's Under 13 - Blue (W) 6.6.42 vs. Ashburton 15.6.96

Struggling with injuries, we used Ben Money and Connor Griffin from the Under 12s. The boys in the first half were second to the ball and not prepared to man up when we didn't have the ball. Plenty of changes to the team in the 2nd half saw a more determined and focused team effort. Being first in for the ball, gave us first use of the footy and enabled us to play to our terms and move the footy the way we wanted to. In the end 2 quarters of footy cost us. Something to work on guys for next game. Get to training and keep working hard on the track.

Our boys started the game well, 3 goals from Brusa in the first quarter. Attack on the footy was fierce and every player put their body on the line. The opposition got back into the game through some lack of manning up. We got back into the game with great movement of the footy and great tackling and attack on the ball. In the end we just fell short of getting the points. but boys the wins will come. Keep up the hard work.

With only 18 players taking the field, we were up against the top team. Our 1st quarter was full of great tackling and tough football. The next 2 quarters we didn't man up and we paid the price on the scoreboard. In the last quarter the boys tried hard and manned up well and left their passage of play for the last minute of the match. Get to training guys and work on what went wrong.
