Wow, didnt see that margin coming. Thought Heccies would win, but not by over 100 points.
Heccies travelling nicely, sliding under the radar as they would like to.
I'd love to say that the scoreline didn't reflect the match but I'd be lying. Heccies came out far more mentally prepared and blew us out of the water before we could even raise a whimper. They hit harder, ran harder and in numbers and we just never looked to be in the hunt.
One umpire gave us nothing all day and we had 3 late pull-outs at around 11am on the Saturday, they were the only things that we could look at for any excuses on such a poor performance, hardly worth the 100+ point schlacking though.
Heccies played their ground superbly, they took the correct avenues and made us look second rate, they hit their targets, and applied immense pressure on the ball carrier all day which caaused turn-overs.
I guess we'll just re-group, assess the areas that we failed in on the weekend and try to bounce back in the local derby at home this week.
On a happier note, at least our B's were competitve this week and put up a good fight against Heccies, it was an entertaining game which went down to the wire.
Well done Hectorville, put on a good display of footy, beautiful day for it, their crowd was excellent, they could've given us a real serve flogging us the way they did, they were more interested in supporting their own team though.
