Unfortunately it was not the best start to the year with a narrow loss to Romsey. We were probably lucky at times that Romsey didn’t kick straight, as the game could have been over at half time. In saying that, we missed some chances and have learnt a lot from the game. The first quarter was fairly even with both clubs missing opportunities. The second quarter was not the footy we want to be seen, or renowned for playing. Defensively we just didn’t work hard enough. We got out numbered to the ball and our ability to run and support was non-existent. The third quarter was much better and our general effort and intensity at the ball had significantly improved. We kicked 7 goals to 1 and went into the last quarter up by a couple of goals. We started the last quarter well but just let ourselves down with some basic errors and Romsey come over the top with a 3 goal win. The pleasing thing was that our best footy will be as good as anyone’s this year. The players have learnt that without a sustained level of effort and intensity we will fall away quickly.
