We opened at a great pace, run was good, hitting targets. Worked up a good lead to half way through the 2nd quarter. For the rest of the quarter we missed some shots at goal but we were still well on top. The third quarter started the same, but PNU were certainly more determined. Our bad kicking let them keep a sniff, but we stayed out in front to record an encouraging win first up.

This was a good win, Scotch were certainly taller but it was our quickness that overcame them. Our attack on the ball was great and when we didn't have it we applied significant pressure to force a turnover. Could have really finished them off in the third term but we were a bit inaccurate in front of goal.

We weren't good today, not hard at it, bit sloppy with disposal and some undisciplined things cost us. It was a bit wet and we had a shocker in the 3rd quarter. Carry said to be at training early on Tuesday.

Modbury opened positively but we stayed in touch at quarter time. We kicked the first 2 in the second but they steamrolled the next 8 to half time. We fought back well in the third and again in the last but we let them get too far away.

We were right in the mix at half time leading by 4 points. 3rd quarter was very disappointing. Kicked the last 7 goals of the match to fall 1 point short, although that was a very dubious point.

A great first quarter kicking 6.1, and then let it slip kicking the reverse 1.6, but still held them to 1 goal for the first half. Should have really killed them off but missed some set shots at goal. They were more competitive in the second half.

SHOC started well getting a good jump on us. We fought our way back during the 2nd and 3rd quarters. There was only a goal in it at the 10 minute mark of the last quarter, after that we let ourselves down and SHOC ran away with it.

We had to play catch up football all day after they bolted from the blocks. Managed to wear them down in the end but it was goal for goal in the last quarter. Scotch will cause some sides a few problems, they certainly caused us one today but we were good enough to take the points.

It was a high scoring and close first half, where the quality of the football was great. After half time, we made a few mistakes (not as many as the umps, but their allowed to make mistakes, did I say that) and PHOS took the points. We lost Duigan, Skurrie and Zanker before half time which didn't help unfortunately either.

What a great win against the odds. There were 4 changes from last weeks side due to injury and the boys really stood up against the top side. It was a tight contest with a strong breeze playing a part in the first half. After a good third quarter into the dying breeze, we hung on in the last after missing a couple of opportunities to put them away. Trishy took contender for mark of the year in the first quarter.

Came crashing back to earth with a thud. Only 7 points in it in the third quarter and if not for poor kicking in front of goal we should have been in front. After that it was one way traffic.

They kicked the first 3 of the game and it was a bit of a worry. The boys responded to kick the next 6 of the quarter. We were dominant all over the ground. Skuz at full forward surprised with a handy 6. Finals are still a chance if we can win the last 2.
