On the windiest day this season we won a hard edged game of footy that pleased some of the old purists who love it tough and hard, I could see the smiles on their faces at each and every one of the 110 stoppages for the day!! It was ugly, it was hard but at the end of the game it was ours! We worked exceptionally hard in the 1st half to square the ledger at 2.5 a piece with a very determined and physical Fitzroy who were playing for their season.
Out we came in the second half determined to run and carry and that we did with good clean hands around the stoppages and faith in our style which came to the fore as the game opened up. We had many contributors but again B Stafford was our best player, closely followed by Mattison with great support from the skipper Brosolo, G Power, M Stafford, G Brine, Luccarelli and Woods with another fine contribution of 3 goals from 9.
In summary a real team effort that resulted in a tough and ugly win - Selkirk, Hill, McMahon etc left the wonderful Brunswick St oval with a couple of reds under their belts and smiles on their faces.
Cheers, Feuta
