Thirds vs Marcellin
The Thirds went into an early rematch with Marcellin who were looking to get their revenge after a narrow round 1 defeat. Our Wellers suffered some very important early injuries in the match which left us a bit hamstrung for the rest of the match and gave Marcellin the lead which they held onto for the entirety of the match. It was a spirited last quarter where free flowing, fast footy was what was asked and it’s exactly what we got from them. Chris Young played hard in the guts all day and Lucas Noack was brilliant with his run around the ground.
Unfortunately we went down by 4 goals in the end but given the adversity it wasn’t a terrible result. We get ready to go again this week at Ford Park against Old Carey!

Women vs Old Xavs
A trip to Princes Park in Caufield to face Old Xavs (not St Kevins, Romy) was the assignment for the Wackettes last Saturday. Xavs were in fine form and their more experienced side beat our girls. Despite the large margin, the girls gave their all. Romy Klooger, when she wasn’t mistaking the opposition for their mortal enemy, played superbly and was rewarded with a fine goal.
Steph Pride continues to develop her game, Maclyn Matheson enjoyed a fine last quarter when swung into the ruck, Abbey Sharbanee did some nice things in defence and Silia Thanopoulou is showing signs she will be a very good player for the club. Lans led a busy defence with plenty of voice, Maddy Riddle continues to impress and Bella Griffin did some really good things in the mid-field.
The day was marked by a Holocaust Memorial Service honouring the survivors and featured some emotional moments where descendants of survivors gave thanks that they were able to play our great game when many others were not. It was great for the Old Camberwell girls to stand shoulder to shoulder with their Ajax teammates and support them on this special day.
Best Players: romy klooger, Isabel Dedoncker, Isabella Griffin, Madeleine Riddle, Alannah Frampton, Isabella Burke
Goal Kickers: romy klooger 1

Seniors vs Old Geelong
The weather gods were on our side as we were treated to some perfect conditions away at Como Park against Old Geelong to renew our acquaintances after 6 years .
The boys disappointed after last week’s late fade out a last week were super keen to amend. Tom Oliver & Locklan Powellwere back into the side to strengthen our back line.
The first half saw a very even contest with the Wellers keeping in check a very quick and determined Geelong outfit prepared to run the ball through the middle at all costs. Our defensive pressure was at a high level restricting the oppositions free flowing ball movement and scoring a few goals the other way curtesy of the elusive Laukens & hardworking mids Harrison Veitch & Dave Mccoll.
Youngsters Pat Blew & Josh Gale were getting plenty of the footy on their respective wings and Jimmy Allen was working tirelessly through the middle. The boys would go into the main break with some confidence and a 7-point buffer.
Unfortunately, our second half was full of missed opportunities to put some scoreboard pressure on our relentless opposition. We would make some mistakes late in the game and Old Geelong would storm home and capture a well-deserved 16 point victory.
George Kalagyros was in everything all day in the middle & Dave Mccoll was again lively across half forward
Plenty of positives from our other talented youngsters with Jack Spaulding & Lachlan Oneil both impressive down back .
Another huge game this week at home against Old Trinity, we hope to see you all to support our boys.
Best Players: Patrick Blew, James Allen, Harry Veitch, Josh Gale, David McColl, Kellan Percy
