Hmm, Some interesting results today have shaped the first week of finals in both the A and B grade. Well done to all those who have made it.
As for us today it was a touch of Deja Vu as the game and our performance was very much the same as when we played Rosewater. We were in front at quarter time, down by goal at 3 quarter time and ended being run over the top of and losing by 52 points, as Smithfield finished strongly with a very handy breeze.
It was a disappointing way to finish off the year as we were all over Smithfield in the first half. We were playing some good footy, while they were trying to take blokes heads off, but after half time it all changed. We switched off and they started to play footy, so credit to them for turning it around like they did. There was plenty of heat in the game all day but when the siren went, we all shook hands and everyone was cool about it.
A huge win by the B grade means their into the finals with a bit of a bang, it's probably broken some records aswell. Smithfield even though they lost, it was good to see them come out and play the last game. My hat goes off to the 12 or so blokes (and LM for that matter) that came out to represent their club.
And just a quick 1, Michael Taylor, wow he is something special. He's got some serious talent and is going to be a great player in the years to come. For a little bloke he is so strong through the core and upper body and his skills and footy smarts are excellent. Smithfield should work their arses off to keep him but IMO he should be looking at paying some higher grade footy- perhaps he should think about going out to Centrals, cause he is good enough for sure.
Good luck next week to all the clubs in Div 5 involved in the finals and bad luck to all those that didn't make it. We'll hopefully see you guys in season 2012.
