Seniors vs Carey
Really good game early vs Old Carey. Tight contest with both teams having good passages of play and the intensity around the ball was high. In every game its important to win the contested ball inside. Early in the game we won our share of contested ball. At times we let the ball get outside the contest too easily. I was impressive with Old Carey’s ability to get the ball from inside to outside. When the ball got outside, we were slow to react and apply pressure, their leg speed through the midfield and off HBack gave them plenty of supply inside their forward 50. We were a bit off with our pressure around the contest, plenty of missed tackles which was our strength in the early games. Our turnovers by foot under no pressure is something we need to go to work on.
We were still very much in the game at ¾ time even though I thought we hadn’t played to the level we expect. We moved Ben Hart forward with instant success, Ben kicked two early goals in the last. Again, our intensity around the ball dropped off allowing Old Carey to control the footy and give their forwards plenty of supply. Around the 15 minute mark of the last they took control and hit the scoreboard with consecutive goals.
We were pleased with some of our match ups, they also did their homework on our prime movers from the week before which is a credit to their coaches. It’s another good reminder to our players that if you’re off a little in B grade you will get punished on the scoreboard.
Liam Thomas was good again up forward. Caleb Finlayson was lively in the forward half, Josh Holding and Will Day played good defensive roles. Lachie Harker worked through a heavy tag and that will be great for his development. Garnet Brennanwas good in the ruck and took contested marks around the ground.
The main take away from the game is we need to be switched on from the first bounce. Players agreed during the pre game we seemed a bit flat and that something we need to improve. We can’t afford to be 10% off in our pressure. This week we took a lot from the game and now we need to learn from the loss.
