Round 14 – Inglewood v Pyramid Hill

U/18’s
A dominant win on Saturday saw us defeat Inglewood, 2.2.14 – 16.12.108. Our intensity was quite good in the first half, not letting Inglewood score and generating plenty of fun and carry. After half time, we went into cruise mode for a while and allowed the opposition too much time and space which resulted in a couple of goals against. Mitch Gunther’s ball use was elite, and Nick Skinner was getting in all the right spots, orchestrating numerous switches, while also being our No.1 ruckman. Ed Caburnay was his usual self up forward, kicking 6 goals, while Ryan Salvador found heaps of the ball, rotating from the forward line into the midfield.

Reserves
A tough game for the boys with 1 v’s 2.  Inglewood really came out to play and the game was up and down throughout the day in a tight and heated contest. Going into the final break only 3 points separated us. An inspiring speech from the coach Dylan “ The Truck “ Tonkin spurred the boys on to boot 6 goals in the final term to have a gutsy win. Nato “ Big Dog “Moon was a force to be reckoned with all day and he gave all the mids first use all day. Mitch “ One Inch “ Dingwall was in rare form booting 5 goals, the resemblance of Jordan De Goey in Mitch’s game at the moment is scary. Brad “ The Fossil “ Fawcett wound back the clock,  the great man lined up on ball for the first bounce and provided plenty of run and score assists for the boys. Ryan “ Shane “ Watson was a machine on the wing, running all day and turning himself into a real utility for the side being able to play anywhere. Tom “ Pots “ Walker was a bull on the inside of the contest and set up the play well. Matt “ MM “ Moon was all class down back. He was the real general back there taking bulk intercept marks and breaking the lines with his penetrating kicks. Woof Woof #upthe2s

Seniors
 After a couple of poor weeks the boys were keen to get back on tracks and oh boy did they jump out of the blocks well. With a 13 goal first half they were up and about and finished off booting 32 goals for the day in a clinical display of football. Braidy “ Dicko “ Dickens was in rare form snagging himself a massive 11 goals. Matthew “ KB “ Klein Breteler was having a day out playing up forward setting up the play. Scott “ The Betterman “ Mann was a bull on the inside of the contest. Stevie “ Smooth “ Gunther was running all over the park and the kid could be a smokie for this years BnF. Bradley “ The Bull “ Driscoll provided a solid level head down back but wasn’t afraid to push up through the middle of the ground and take the game on. Adrian “ Dutchie “ Holland dominated the ruck battle, the big fella also worked hard pushing up forward a slotting a very nice 3 goals. Woof Woof #upthe1s
