After a fairly ordinary performance from us against Myponga we were all keyed up to make amends.
The day started with Ryan Crockford pulling out crook, then Justin Young doing an abductor in the warm up. Not a great start but away we went, the team played well in the 1st quarter kicking 3 goals to Victor's 2 but lost star recruit Jared Greenbank in the first 10 minutes with an ankle injury. Needless to say, our flexibility from the bench became a concern
We battled on all day and I couldn't question the commitment to the footy this week, but far too many mistakes caused turnovers in the 2nd and 3rd quarters seen Victor kick 7 goals in each far too easily.
The game was gone at 3 quarter time but the team battled on for an acceptable last quarter kicking 3 goals to Victor's 4.
We need to better at it for longer periods to push any teams this year and a little bit of luck wouldn't go astray either.
