A poor start cost us dearly in a valiant 3
point defeat.
After a good build up to the game, unfortunately not all
players adhered to instructions and let Mt Compass get on top with a 3 goal lead
at quarter time - even though we were very competitive in the 50/50
contests.
Evan Williams and Kiefer Zohar were on the bench with
injuries which didn’t help either.
The second quarter seen us kick 3.6 to their 3.3 and you got
the sense that this game was turning in our direction headed by Chris Johnson
on the top side wing having a blinder, not converting those 6 points to goals
also cost us in the end.
We kicked 1.3 to their 2.3 in the third and with a 4 goal
lead at ¾ time its was going to take a big effort to get on top of them and a
big effort it was, (First Gamer) Braden Altus and Elliott Schneider took a
strangle hold of the game and nearly kicked us into the lead but Compass full
forward Liddle had the answer every time kicking 3 goals from marks in the last
¼ taking his total to 8 for the game, I don’t think he missed one
either.
Over all a very entertaining game but just couldn’t get in
front, another game where it becomes very evident that we need a tall forward
goal kicker next season.
Special mention to Braden Altus in his first senior game in
what was one of the better debuts that I have encountered, well done
Braden.
