Round 15 - 09/08/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 16 .11 .107 vs. Fitzroy 6 .8 .44
A great way to finish the seaon with a thumping win over the 2nd top team. The way the boys developed over the year to play a great brand of selfless footy was nothing short of sensational. Thanks for 3 great years and the support given to me from the boys and parents and the St Marys Junior F C. I have enjoyed every bit of it. Congratulations to Ben Mossuto and Nick Dean on 100 fantastic games and Brendan Robbin on 50 fantastic games.

Round 14 - 02/08/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 8 .13 .61 vs. Park Orchards 10 .10 .70
In our penultimate game, the boys tried in trying conditions. Park Orchards, who with a win today cemented a place in the finals, wanted the ball that little bit more, hence the result. We still have one game to go, so let's knuckle down and go for broke.

Round 1 - 27/07/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 10 .12 .72 vs. Banyule 4 .2 .26
A great 4 quarter effort by all the boys. Great to see all the boys contribute to a very good win over quality opposition. 4 boys are yet to kick a goal this season - Nick Delanty, Marco Cvetic, Jordan Galea and Jacob Hart. We will endeavour to get all of you on the scoreboard by seasons end. Well done boys.

Round 12 - 19/07/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 6 .12 .48 vs. Macleod 14 .11 .95
In windy conditions the boys fought hard for a half but left too much to the regular triers in the second half. Its disappointing that the 5 or 6 who give their all week in and week out for 4 quarters are let down by their team mates. To be a successful team we must all play our part on and off the ground.

Round 11 - 12/07/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 10 .8 .68 vs. Greythorn 7 .7 .49
A great win against a quality side entrenched in the 4. Out team work and ball carry was great. It was always going to be hard in the windy conditions, but the boys stood up to the challenge as the result showed. Next week another big challenge against McLeod. I'm sure the boys are up to it.

Round 10 - 28/06/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 13 .16 .94 vs. Bundoora 8 .7 .55
On a windy Sunday afternoon, we arrived with a much undermanned team. But the boys came to play. With Bundoora eveningup to 16 a side, the boys ran it out with a hard earned win. Bundoora took it up to our boys with some hard, skillfull footy, but the boys ran it out to the end. Keep it up Burra. This week was a great win against the odds. With a full side, we will be a formidable team.

Round 9 - 21/06/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 16 .6 .102 vs. Surrey Park 5 .12 .42
With no bench to work with, our boys played their best footy of the year. Clean disposal and first options make a huge difference on the score board. The boys ran hard, defended hard and played a great brand of team footy. We need to keep that same effort every game. Well done boys.

Round 8 - 14/06/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 7 .12 .54 vs. Camberwell 18 .6 .114
3 phone calls morning of the game - 3 cases of the flu. Its hard to win with 17 players and 1 injury during the game, however that is no excuse for not giving a 100% effort during the game by alot of players. It's disappointing that when the game is not going our way, alot of our players drop their heads instead of trying to pick themselves up. It's a case of leaving too much to too few. Next week let's all have a red hot go and the result may surprise.

Round 7 - 31/05/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 15 .12 .102 vs. Balwyn 2 .4 .16
A great win due to the players team work and the help each other gave their team mates. We gave 1st option all day and presented the player in best position with the ball. A special thanks to Keiran Lester, Julian Sapiano and Ben Kelsey who came across from the Blue team to help the boys out. All 3 played great games - well done.

Round 6 - 24/05/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 7 .6 .48 vs. Fitzroy 9 .16 .70
Not good enough on the day to cover the loss of good players other players have to lift their work rate which isn't happening at the moment. Its time to take boys out of their comfort zone and prepare them for the rigours of under 15 football next season.

Round 5 - 17/05/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 12 .8 .80 vs. Park Orchards 8 .14 .62
Our first win for the year was a good one. In Brown for the remainder of the year, we must remain positive every match we play. With the loss of alot of key players, the remainder of the team must lift to fill the void if we are to be successful. Good win - let's keep it going.

Round 3 - 03/05/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 4 .1 .25 vs. Kew 10 .18 .78
Up against a very good team in Kew our first half we had too many boys unaccountable for the opposition, hence the 50 point margin. In the second half we took responsibility and showed we could match it with the best and were only outscored by 2 points. Next week we need a 4 quarter effort and who knows, we may even stay in Gold.

Round 2 - 26/04/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 3 .7 .25 vs. Fitzroy 7 .20 .62
The team performed very well in trying conditions and with no available players on the bench. This week was a big improvement on the previous, particularly with their attitude and commitment. The boys also displayed endeavour and worked to play well for team mate Nick Smith who was playing his 100th game. Their were a number of highlights, the majority being in the team aspects like supporting, shepherding, running and encouraging each other.

Round 1 - 19/04/2009
St Mary's Under 14 - Brown 2 .1 .13 vs. Ashburton 18 .8 .116
Attitude is everything, Accountability is everything. Bar a handful of players we lacked in both departments. The boys are now in Gold which is a big step up, but there is no excuse in letting your opponent dominate you the way most of our boys did. We must train the way we want to play if we want to be competitive in this grade.
