Seniors vs Caulfield
The bottom line to winning games at Caulfield’s home ground is your ability to use the breeze and defend when they have the breeze.
We had the breeze in the 1st qtr and failed to use it to our advantage. Caulfield put two behind the ball and we evened up by one, pushing Ben Hart forward from defence. We scored 2:3 in the qtr and allowed Caulfield 5 shots on goal for 1:4. The lack of scoring with breeze was going to make it a challenging 2nd qtr.
In the 2nd qtr we applied the same strategy as Caulfield din in the first by dropping two behind the ball. We did slow the game down and controlled the ball for the first part of the qtr. Unfortunately, we couldn’t sustain the pressure and allowed Caulfield to hit the scoreboard. Going in at half time 11 points down was a positive result considering Caulfield’s dominance in the back half of the second qtr.
We failed to utilise the 5 goal breeze in the 3rd qtr. Going into the ¾ time break 8 points down we knew was going to put us under pressure in the last. The boys gave it their all in the last. We couldn’t question our effort in the contest, and we had opportunities against the wind to score kicking 3:1. Josh Blew played a defensive forward role and was rewarded for his efforts with 2 goals. Lachie Powell was outstanding down back, intercept marks and his use of the ball under pressure easily had him as our best for the day.
The B grade competition is tight, and we need to win games at home to keep in touch with the leaders. This week against Old Geelong is an important game to keep us on track before the bye round.
