With four players celebrating their 50th game we put in a really pleasing
four quarter effort to record a 45 point victory over Parkside.
Our midfielders dominated from the start of the game with the first quarter played mostly in our forward fifty. Unfortunately we were wasteful early and were 2.7 at the first break, still leading by two goals.
A strong second quarter saw us take a 5 goal lead into half time which we built on in the 2nd half before conceding a couple of late goals.
It was pleasing to see the spread and ball use when we had possession and much improved manning up when needed. Jackson worked really hard in the ruck and was well supported by midfielders Biggsy, Oliver, Perills, Nelson and Joel who gave us plenty of drive. JJJ, James, Liam, Stuart and Will provided
multiple targets up forward. We were also very pleased with the continued improvement of Calvin, Aaron, JP and Holden with their ability to compete and win the contested ball.
As we head towards our first finals series, we will continue to focus on contesting and tackling when we don’t have possession and spread and carry when we do. Everyone in the team has a role to play and it’s great to see a more even contribution across the group as the season continues.
