Match Reports
Under 10 Purple vs South Melbourne (R6) - This week’s game felt like one that got away. After easily accounting for South Melbourne in our first game of the year they turned up much better prepared this time. The first quarter was a very even affair with our boys controlling the ball but South Melbourne made the most of their opportunities and just managed to outscore us. With Seb, Paddy and Dom tackling hard and Sunny dominating in the ruck we were holding our own throughout the quarter. Paddy and Josh Marshall delivered the 2 goals for us. For the second and third quarters we managed to hold South Melbourne scoreless and looked like we were cruising (and that was not a Hewitt pun!). Unfortunately, we were not Continue Reading...
Under 10 Purple vs East Brighton Vampires (R4) - It was an early start for us this morning. So while the boys were kicking the dew off the ground during their warm up some of the parents were plucking the poo off the ground trying to keep warm. After last week’s big win the group was just a little bit cocky before the game sizing up the opposition and perhaps underestimating them from their size. It was quite a rude awakening for the team when we were being beaten out of the midfield and the ball spending most of the quarter in the Vampire’s forward line. It was only due to some strong defensive work from Sunny King, Josh Meikle and Campbell Holtham that held East Brighton to just Continue Reading...
Under 10 Purple vs Beaumaris (R3) - Banksia Reserve…..No wait, Donald McDonald Reserve. Not even a last minute realisation that there had been a last minute change to the location of our game could upset the boys today. Bec did another great job making sure that everyone got to the ground on time, the whole time ensuring me she wasn’t going to get stressed by this despite the look in her eyes... Last week we learned some lessons on how we could play better as a team. My challenge to the boys for this week’s game was to be first to the ball when it was in dispute and tackle and pressure the other team when they had it. The difference this brought to the way we Continue Reading...
Under 10 Purple vs East Malvern (R2) - April 22, 2018 – Round 2 Darling Reserve After a fairly comfortable game in Round 1 it was soon obvious we were playing a very different side this week in East Malvern. When the boys lined up we were facing quite a few bigger boys and they quickly put us under a lot of pressure. The ball spent most of the first quarter in our back line but our boys stood their ground. With Lachie Nolan repelling the repeated attacks and Luke, who was helping us out from the under 9s, taking a number of saving marks on the last line we managed to hold them to just 1.1. At quarter time I challenged the boys to increase our pressure Continue Reading...
Under 10 Purple vs South Melbourne (R1) - Facing up to South Melbourne Districts at Castlefield Oval we were expecting a tough game because they are a team that always comes well prepared. In the first quarter we were kicking into the wind but managed to match South Melbourne kicking 2.2 each. This was an even team effort across the field with the boys demonstrating great skills for the first term of the year. The second quarter we started to find our feet and it saw us kick away scoring another 2.2 while our defenders held our opposition scoreless. Will Boyd Turner and Patty Wilson were both prominent in the midfield creating plenty of opportunities for the forwards and bringing others into the game. In the third term Continue Reading...
