The forward line again was working Of all the games we have played in the last 6 weeks I was well together opening up the space and it didn’t take long for more nervous about this one. The reason being that our us to score a goal which given the wind was a fantastic game plan really consists of wide open spaces and pace. effort. They were using their pace well and started to get out Park Orchards match up well against us as they are also the back of us a little on the rebound which caused a number very pacey and they are also highly skilled. There was much of scary moments for us. Harrison Boothey, Eddie Georgelin, talk about their tall guy and the blonde midfielders so we Wilshy Khan and Jackson Hribar in the last line of defence spent a fair bit of pre-match planning around how they were were getting peppered luckily were standing tall ensuring they couldn’t score while Ryan Griffiths, Zac Gucciardo,

But the game was still in the balance. as they took some momentum of the finish of the first quarter Three quarter time – 4.4.28 to 3.0.18 The good thing about and kicked a goal into the wind which caught us a little bit off the playing group is that they continually do the right things. guard. However, we did have a lot of the play with Sam The positive of doing the right things often is that eventually Carmody continuing his good form in the ruck feeding it will provide success and now that we have 25 even players Johnny Hynes and Jamie Torey in the midfield. Up front, right across the ground, well rested with their rotations on the Lachie Irwin was marking everything and really controlling bench, it doesn’t matter what a team does against us in the the game while Benny Tricarico and Steve Moffat were doing first 3 quarters, they wont be able to keep up.

That was the end dangerous and continued to have a slender lead at the main of Park Orchards. Final score – 7.8.50 to 3.0.18 break.
