Sexton said Dawam continues to impress with his ruck work as his knowledge of the game expands as well as taking advantage of the one- on-one strength, conditioning, skills and game situation scenarios with Dan Haberfi eld. “We think that he is improving rapidly,” Sexton said. “He has a sense for the game.

The step up from playing against teenagers to AFL listed players with, in some cases, 100 plus games behind them took some adjusting. As did the endurance running required over the course of a game. “Everyone on the ground knows where they’re going, knows where to run. Sandringham has endured a fl uctuating season with a constant turnover of players each week, which has affected stability and consequently consistency. Ong hopes he can build on the experience of his fi rst VFL season to end the season playing more consistently and helping the Zebras put some more wins Photo: Dave Savell on the board.

It was a similar story for Metro without big man Tom Boyd, leaving Billings and Lennon to hit the scoreboard in another error-ridden quarter. Country at last found some forward momentum in the third term to draw within a point of Metro, but the ascendancy was short lived. First Honeychurch’s opportunist snap out of the pack found its mark and then capitalised on a

That was the candid assessment from coach Mark Ellis. And, to compound those injuries Geelong Falcons’ Lewis “I think we probably fi nished up where we were,” Ellis Taylor was absent for one match through suspension. said. Ellis said Country paid dearly for not being “clean enough “We were competitive in every game we played, but the around the ball”. old story – we didn’t play well enough for long enough. “We just didn’t have enough clean hands to get the ball “In our program we can’t afford to have blokes get injured. out of the contested possession area and move it quickly I know all teams get injuries, but we had a couple of key into our forward line,” he said. players not play.” Ellis praised Metro for the pressure they applied , one of four Country players to be rewarded throughout the match, which resulted in countless with All Australian honors, missed some games early in turnovers and squandered opportunities. the Championships, Patrick McCartin missed the match against Metro while Matt Crouch missed games also early “It was pretty ugly at times, but the boys certainly had a in the carnival. crack,” he said. and Jack Leslie Zac Jones dead-heated for Country best player as voted by the coaching staff. Ellis said Holman grasped the opportunity “to jump up and become an inside midfi elder”, with untapped potential to continue to improve. He was surprised that Holman did not gain recognition in the All Australian team “He took on the role of playing a ‘Crouchy’ (Matt Crouch) type role and he was really eager to learn. He’s a very determined young fellow,” Ellis said. “Zac Jones is just a boy who loves the contest, he’s very competitive. He works hard on his game and like all boys his age he has areas of his game to work on and he knows that. “Both boys, apart from their footy ability, are just terrifi c young blokes”. Ellis also praised the performance of Geelong Falcon Fraser Fort, who he said would benefi t from the experience as well as Billy Hartung and Taylor, the latter two gained All Australian selection. He added that Crouch showcased his untapped potential in the two games he played. “Taylor certainly has some spark about him,” Ellis said.

Vic Metro’s title aspirations were effectively punctured “He was a standout in WA , especially in the last quarter when South Australia emerged victorious with a three- when they were coming at us. It took a really big effort point win from the match at Simonds Stadium. after being exhausted to will himself forward and kept Coach Marty Allison lamented the lack of a line-breaker, committing himself to physical collisions and ended up someone to take the game on in the concluding stages of kicking a goal. the last quarter against SA where Metro fell agonizingly “And against South Australia after being down he along short in a result that determined the Championship. with Kelly really got us going and against Country he had He described that period of the match as a “big arm 23 touches, six clearances and seven tackles he was really wrestle”, which Metro were not able to fi nd a way to break good.” free. Allison liked the performance also of Northern Knights “It was a testament to the boys for not throwing the towel Marcus Bontempelli as well as Eastern Ranges ruckman in, not giving in. To lose by only three points was quite Michael Apnes and Darcy Byrne Jones. amazing as I thought on the day they were probably a three goal better side. “We had a pretty good campaign. South Australia Marcus Bontempelli played better than us on the day. “We had our chances in the third quarter where we played much better footy and we were hitting the scoreboard, but we kicked too many behinds. “We dominated the fi rst 15-minutes of that quarter, but we didn’t hit the scoreboard in the way we wanted too.” Then there was the absence of Tom Boyd, but as Allison noted ‘what ifs’ don’t register on any scoreboard. “It’s whoever is there on the day that you are judged by,” he said. Vic Metro had fi ve players – Sandringham Dragons’ Josh Kelly, Northern Knights’ , Oakleigh Chargers’ Jack Billings, Eastern Ranges’ Mitch Honeychurch and teammate Tom Boyd – selected in the All Australian team. Boyd’s selection underlined the enormous opinion of the power-forward who missed the last two games and only played 15-minutes against . But, Boyd showcased his undeniable talent during his cameo performance to have him touted as the No 1 selection at the NAB AFL Draft. For Billings it was the second successive year that he earned All Australian recognition. Allison was lavish in his praise for Honeychurch, voted by the coaching staff as Metro’s most valuable player. “He may be small in stature, but he’s a real competitor,” he said.
