Senior Men’s League Coaches Report – Round 3

Unfortunately with the 2 outs of our Vice Captains Josh Ryan (Concussion) & Kaiden Brand (H&S protocols) it took a little while for the backs to settle and we had to move Keough who kicked 4 last week back to help steady the ship after a 3 goal to nil Eagles start.

From there we outscored the eagles 7 goals to 5 and showed some true grit & determination to stay in the contest, and with some better skills & decision making who knows what might of happened?

I was super impressed with the third game of Josh Carmichael with 30 disposals, 8 tackles, 11 clearances and 2 goals proving very productive! Hamish Hartlett across half back showed poise & composure plus hardness at times which was important. Jordon Boyle on the wing ran hard both ways all game and was rewarded with 8 uncontested marks. Callum Park impressed again in his role down back especially his ability to win the ball, the backs generally held up well with Keough, Karpany, Morrish & Hupfeld defending tirelessly. Max Marslen on debut with 3 goals was a nice find and should only get better the more games he plays now.

Norwood next week is a big game as it’s more than likely going to be Jono Beeches 200^th outing so what an achievement for the stalwart of our footy club.  Hopefully everyone will realise the significance of the occasion and pull out a big one to honor him.
