Disappointing weekend for the tigers with just one win from our four outings. Netball girls again had a 50 / 50 result with the yellow team suffering form the same injury curse as the footy boys. The Under 19s had the bye due to Croydon not having a team with the reserves and senior’s depth tested with no less than 15 injuries. DON’T Forget to CHECK IN Tomorrow / Monday when our resident photographer Debbie Stingell will have some great shots of the action and there’s also some great photos from Paul Corris another great friend of the Mitcham Football Club floating around
Reserves Coachs Report
Footy is a great leveller and we certainly had a lesson from Croydon as they outplayed us in every aspect to win by 10 goals, as can happen in 2’s footy we had 6 changes from the week before so we had to call up 3 U19’s to help out. Croydon have played finals in Div1 for the past few years so you do need to come to play and unfortunately our boys were off the pace on the day. We spoke after the game about not dwelling on one performance as we head this week back to Walker. Another hard oppo we will face in East Ringwood so improvement and how we respond will be our focus, thank to all that came down to support.

Senior Coaches Report
This week we came up against the 2019 grand finalists in Croydon out on their home ground which is always a tough proposition. It was a game that turned out to be eerily similar to last weeks game against Mooroolbark. At half time we had a slim lead and had played some very good football with our defensive pressure at a really high level and our ball use also causing Croydon some problems. Unfortunately in the 2nd half when Croydon upped the ante we were unable to go with them and they ran out comfortable victors. We have learned some valuable lessons over the past 2 weeks and we will look to bounce back strongly this week at home.
