Straight From The Sauce – Round 8 League & Reserves

On Sunday we went to Norwood Oval to play the Redlegs and we went down by 44 points.

The first quarter we were able to create chances but didn’t cash in on them when we knew the start was going to be important. Fundamentals started to drift and when against good teams they punish you and Norwood did that. We weren’t able to get our hands back on the ball to put pressure back on them. This continued on in the second as we lost control of the game and we were hard up against it at half time with Norwood up by 25 points.

The third quarter we knew we had to start well and they kicked 2 inside the first 3 minutes. While we were able to work our way back into the game in the 3^rd we weren’t able to get enough scoreboard pressure soon. In the final quarter we fought the game out right to the end, kicking 3 important goals late to trim the margin back.

Credit to Norwood, they played some good footy and we look forward to improving and playing them again as they are looking as the measuring stick.

Better players on the day were Ted and Herb, Dawks and Moorey and I thought Weck did a great job up forward competing hard.

6 days break, looking forward to taking on Central District at Maughan Thiem Kia on Saturday.
