Another
successful weekend with both teams collecting the points. The message before the
game was all about being disciplined in sticking to our structures and putting
the team first, bar a couple of pot shots from the boundary we did this pretty
well.
Our tackling was first class and we never allowed the
Saints to get any real consistency in their ball movement and this also allowed
us to deliver the ball into our forwards with a bit more ease. Youngster Blake
Waight again showed exceptional poise for a 3 game player taking down a classic
one handed mark on the wing against two bigger opponents and always making the
correct decision with his disposal, he was well supported by Ruckman Marcus
Gardner, Michael Plamer and Joe Broadbent who tagged Ashley Bennett out of the
game after quarter time.
Our backline was again very disiplined in the way they
set up behind the footy allowing the Saints only two goals for the day. Michael
Booth led the way with his attacking run and elite foot skills off halfback.
Up the other end we had 11 different goal kickers with
many players rotating up forward , Ash Woodhead kicked 5 and looked dangerous
with Waight, Tammens, Gardner and Livingston all chiming in with 3 each.
We have Hutchins at Queenborough next Saturday in what
will be a big test, as we know it doesn't matter where we are on the ladder both
teams always like to get the Sandy Bay bragging rights early in the season. We
should only have a couple of changes to the side with Jed Dunstan available
after missing Saturday playing in Adelaide with the Australian emergency
services team and Brad Green is expected to return to the side after a weeks
rest.

We knew after St Virgils beat Dosa last week that this
was going to be a hard game and despite the end result showing a 90 point win to
the rainbows we got what we expected.
The second half started the same as the first half
did , a hard physical contest , but as we started to win more ball our key
forwards started to kick more goals Matuszek 5 , Connor Barling 2, and Jason
Huizing 2. In the end a nice 90 point win.
So a 3/0 start to the season is a good way to set up
the year, but still a lot of hard work ahead .
Selection again will be hard this week as up to 15
players are available that missed out last week.
Women had the bye
