The boys knew it was a ‘must win’ game and they did themselves proud fighting the game out to the end to gain the valuable four points. The win keeps us in touch with the top teams and a place in the finals is there to grab if we are good enough. After this week’s match versus Nunawading, we play Eastern Lions, then two teams hunting for the final two spots in the four, Glen Waverley and Kilsyth. Our destiny is clearly in in our own hands.
Well done to Graeme Johns who continues his great year by kicking another 6 to pass 50 for the season. Josh Hughes also provided another avenue to goal, playing a wonderful role up forward while it’s also great to see Ben Myers back on the field and doing well.
The Seconds battled hard but were beaten by a better side, good to see Youngy out there and kicked two goals as did Blake Mios.
The Under 19’s took it right up to the undefeated Donvale only to fall just short for the second week running. James Box has shown great form this year and again so last week.
This week at Nunawading we have the opportunity to take a position in the top four, so we are looking for a team effort to take this game that will hold us in good stead for the last three rounds of the season.
We welcome back Dylan Westaway into the side after returning from a few weeks away chasing the sun, and with the Under 19’s having the bye Paul Collopy will be another of our young up and coming players to make their senior debut for the club this year.
If you can get out to Koonung Reserve to support the teams please do so.
Most of you would have read or heard that Senior Coach Scott Hamill has been reappointed for the next two seasons, which is another step for our club to build sustainable success in the years to come. Congratulations Scott.
