Commentary

We travelled down to Upper Gully looking to capitalise on last weeks effort. Losing our Captain was a big blow to the side. So we made a pact to do it for Asti and all of us "step up" to fill the hole. We started off well with a quick goal, but then fell back into their style of stop start play. Turning into a very scrappy game, we seemed to lose our run and "want" for the footy. If not for our backline, led by Daimo and Harro, we could have been in big trouble. We were down at half time and in the rooms we spoke about how we could improve our attack on the footy. We committed ourselves to put our bodies in and head over the footy and win the"hard ball "and led by some great deeds of courage from Jack. G , Harro and Nick we all lifted and started to all put our bodies in. With some great drive from Nuci and Sam and our "mosquito fleet", Smithy, Simmo, Jarryd and Nick we started to get on top. Our forwards started working harder and "locking it in" our forward line, much to our backline's delight! All of a sudden it was like a disease, we all caught it and did our little bit to help out to a hard fought 14 pt win, in what turned out to be a good team effort !
