The day didn't start well when 2 players selected to the team didn't show up leaving the team 2 players shorts in the interchange bench. This would play right into the ands of Tor. Dingo's coach Mike McFarlane who could use the advantage to rotate his players giving them much needed rest through out the game and finishiing with fresher legs.
The side didn't look right from the start with big Manny Matata propped up in the forward line on 1 leg after twisting his knee the week before.
Writing this on the fly as i was not present it look's like the boys again didn't come out of the gates fast and were behind the right from the get go and were not able to macth it with the Tor. Dingo's who were hungry and full of self belief. A strong 3rd quarter left the bys only 12 points down with 20 minutes to play but they were not able to match it with a stronger 4th term as the Tor. Dingo's pulled away to win by 17 points and go into the OAFL Grand Final for 2010.
A disppointing season that had many ups and downs.
A big thanks to Travis McKenzie who stepped up with 1 round to go to take over as coach when Steve Curran was unavailable for the remainder of the year.
And as always the team couldn't do it without the work by Team Manager Bill Conway who is there each training night and game no matter where it is. Thanks so much Bill, it is a pleasure to work with you.
We now turn our attention to the annual awards night which will be held mid October, stay tuned as we confirm the date.
