Official Match Report
Taylors lakes playing the undefeated Top team Maribyrnong was always going to be a challenge. The focus all year has been on improvement and 1st round they beat us by 150pts. Our on ball brigade of Steve, Thomas C, Lucas & Torey were clearly on top and pumped the ball forward regularly. Taylors lakes had the ball in their forward line for 90% of the 1st quarter but were unable to put one through the big sticks. Mitchell, Daniel T & Alec Moretta followed instructions and made every ball a contest,providing stopages and playing hard at the ball footy as always.The 2nd quarter against a strong breeze taylors lakes were able to keep Marby honest and the backline did a great Job,even thogh they scored some goals in the quarter. Kerim, Cooper,Ryan,Nathan,Lachlan & Marcus stayed tight on their opponents with Alec P & Peter working hard in and under to keep the ball moving our way. In the 3rd quarter the game opened up and Lucas Markham with his great skills weaved through the pack to bomb the ball long into the forward line where it bounced into the arms of Thomas Perry who ran onto the ball headed towards goal and kicked it through the middle of the goals from 20mtrs out.
We kept Marby to 1 goal in the last quarter which was a fantastic effort and showed that the boys never gave up and put in 100% for the whole game. Once again Jye Craggill gave us a lift after being moved into the Ruck & James D continues to provide a contest. It was great to see James S lay 3 tackles in a row in the last 90secs of the game, well done James S!Also Mitchell B took 2 valuable marks deep in the backline with Lachlan S providing great defencive pressure. The end result was 60points, we are heading in the right direction.
Looking forward to this week, keep up the good work boys.
