Commentary
We travelled down to Heathmont in a game against the bottom team. Well they certainly didnt play like a bottom team and they got away to a 4 goal lead early. We just had to work our way back into the game with some hard work and hardness at the footy and use the ball better and smarter. We worked our way back to to trail by 11pts at 3/4 time, due to everyone starting to run straight at it and starting to share the ball around. We peppered the goals in the last quarter, still spraying our shots and with the backline really holding up well and the midfield getting on top,we managed to get in front with about 3 minutes to go due to a great mark and very steady shot for goal by Cam Churchil. We held on to win. Some really encouraging displays from Jack Chisolm, Timmy Christou, Ben Dinardo stand us in good stead for the future. Really, the whole team responded when they had to, which is what good teams should do.

What we did learn today was not to underestimate any team in the future and show respect to teams we play. We dug ourselves out of a hole, which is a good sign, but we must learn to play with the same committment and desperation we did in the 2nd half, ALL OF THE TIME.
