Sometimes a hard fought out grinding victory is more satisfying and does more for a teams self belief than an easier victory. Such was the case against Chelsea Heights who always provide great opposition. Jaz Allen handled the footy cleanly and didn’t chance too many short deliveries going long on every occasion. A great duel unfolded where our own ‘Sandy’ Johnstone was all over Travis Johnstone like Talcum Baby Powder for the whole game and won the honours in a disciplined display. Christian McCarthy battled hard as did Gilbo and Nudge out of the guts. Mark Marasco again showed his value at CHB and was like a salmon swimming upstream on several occasions turning the ball back into our forward line. This week we travel to East Malvern and must continue to gather momentum as we count down to the business end of home and away season.

As the rain began to tumble down and the footy became a cake of soap, it became a game where the 2nd or 3rd man to the contest had the greatest chance of winning possession. In a hard fought contest, we had winners in on-baller Ben Carracher, 3 goals - and big James Marasco ‘Sealed’ the deal with a return to form. Bryce Hayes who relishes the wet conditions (his father was a mudder) racked up 29 possessions whilst James Fisher also chipped in with Pratty down back to help restrict the Heighters to only 2 goals.

This was an important match for both sides trying to establish a position in the finals. In a tight contested first half we trailed by 2 goals and couldn’t find a forward target despite the efforts of Bob Carracher in the midfield. After Half time Matty Blee went into the ruck and completely dominated the hit outs which led to continuous clearances and forays forward allowing Nick Stubbings to showcase his silky skills as we slammed through 6 goals. Herby and Hollywood Muldoon provided great run through half forward as did Dyl Stewart on return at CHB. The 37 point margin was a great result. Well done boys.
