Seniors vs Hampton
Great to get back on the winners list. The focus this week was to have a consistent 4 qtr effort, and to keep the energy up after half time. Our 2nd halves have been an issue we’ve been working on. The theme was to address the next qtr at every break, and what we need to do for the next 30 minutes.
We started the game slowly, but we could feel the energy up right across the ground. Again, our stoppage work started to get us going forward. Some of Ruben Hopkins tap work was first rate. Jimmy Allen and Ben Carlisle started to get on top of their direct opponents and win contested ball at the stoppages. We still made fundamental ball handling mistakes and turned it over in dangerous parts of the ground. We gave Hampton the ball back and they made us pay on the scoreboard. Josh Holding and Josh Gale provided good run off half back in the first half. We moved Caleb Finlayson deeper forward as a small target which worked well. Caleb used the space inside the forward 50 and got on the end of some good passages of play.
At half time the boys focused on the first 5 minutes of the 3rd qtr to ensure we got off to a good start. The coaches felt there was a real desire in the group to improve our 2nd half performances. Our ability to stick to the plan and apply pressure at the contest was first rate. We did still have a few lapses with our decision making but nothing that can’t be rectified for this weeks game. Our forwards pushed higher up the ground and applied pressure to help turn the ball over and give us scoring opportunities. Ben Carlisle with 16 tackles and to shut down one of Hamptons prime moves was outstanding on the day. James Harker’s move to CHB was encouraging for the team, James has also shown he can play through the midfield as well.
It’s the first time in awhile since we’ve had 15 scoring shots in the 2nd half of a game. This must be the benchmark going forward. We need to give our forwards the supply to hit the scoreboard. We felt our forward 50 entries when going to the right spots gave our forwards scoring opportunities. Looking at our vision we still felt we went a bit shallow with our forward entries at times. This will be one of the focuses this week.
