Round 5

Sunday we travelled to Alphington to take on Parkside who were 3rd on the ladder. We kicked into a strong breeze in the first quarter where a couple of unlucky bounces resulted in 4 Parkside goals. It was always going to be tough to peg back the 4 goal margin but with our boys never say die attitude we played the better footy after quarter time. Unfortunately we didn't make the most of our many forward attacks but I walked away from the game extremely proud of our boys and in the end ran out of time. Caleb played his best game for the year & the tackling machine Patty continued with his great season so far. Corey also played his best game & James is continually improving & both he & Grayson did some good things in the backline. Morgan added some strength & vigour and made his presence felt in the ruck in the 2nd half & Jordan mopped up nicely across half back. We just need to learn to play 4 quarters boys & the wins will come.
