We faced a big challenge on the weekend up against the 4th placed team from our lofty position of 3rd. We started the game in good fashion with Dave Arthurson giving the onballer's first use of the footy from the center bounce's. The forward line was nice and open as we wanted to isolate their backmen one on one, so our small forwards had space to work in and it did work in our favour at times. Our ability to run and carry the footy through the middle of the ground is a major weapon for this team. The backline was also well on top, creating turn overs from the pressure they put on Mentone. Their willingness to get to contests and outnumber the opposition, back themselves and take risks is fantastic from a coaches perspective. Overall the scoreboard told the story 32 shots on goal to 11 shots on goal. After disposing of that 4th team we face their replacement this week.
Cheers Karl
