It was great for the boys to get a win on the board, we’re really hoping that it brings some confidence for the rest of the season. It’s important though to remember that the key for the boys is development, so we’re hoping that this is a good step in that direction.
I felt the first quarter, while we outscored Compass, was still lacking effort to get their head over the ball and desire to compete. I put it to them at the quarter break and the boys really lifted. In particular Michael Allison had the ball on a string, had great ground skills and his efforts paid off with a bag of 7 goals.
Our older players really shone through and lead the way which was pleasing but most importantly it was great to see some of our younger brigade compete well and receive reward for their efforts. In the final quarter we were ahead by 80 points or so, it was a great opportunity to let the senior guys have a rest and let the younger fella’s take over, they competed extremely well and i was very pleased with their efforts and skill level.
Now we look forward to the week ahead and knuckle down and hopefully the confidence they achieved will be transferred into fast confident footy this coming game against Pongy.
Cheers,
Glenn
