Quinnys Postgame

 

The boys got off to a solid start with a 91 point win against Seaton. I was really proud of the guys who kept their mind on the job when it would've been easy to bite back at some of the rubbish. 

 

Probably the biggest highlight was I believe we have a lot of improvement left in us as at times we were fumbly, a little bit of Round 1 nerves but this got better after half time as did our directness. Overall it's promising. 

 

Goals were spread with Tom Quinn (no he isn't my son as i've had people ask haha) kicking 6, Smythy and Rama 3, Bergs, Dylan Gamble and Maisey 2 and singles to Matty Jac, Teddy, Hotdogs and Ingo singles. 

 

Best players were tough, Evo was solid in a very good defence, Gambo and Bergs solid around the footy with Orry going well in the ruck. Quinny was good up forward and Matty Jac was terrific in his new role. Our best three players were Rama, Gordo and Sopes with Smythy unlucky not to be for a very good game at both ends. It's worth noting that Rama has played a handfull of games for the club due to injuries over three years and looked the goods with more to come and Gordo and Sopes are young players with a big future at our club. 

 

Yes it's round one, we will never get ahead. We crawl before we walk before we run! The playing group is aware of that! 

 

On a negative note we will lose Ryan Bartlett for possibly 4 weeks with quite a serious back injury. Teddy as Teddy does backed into a pack and as a result copped a knee in the back causing a minor fracture, although when it's your back or spine nothing is minor! He'll be back raring to go soon. 

 

Well done to Craig and Popey with the Two's and thirds respectively! 

 

I also pass on a well done to the guys who were dealt a kick in the guts at selection! All responded the best way possible and this is what strengthens the individual if the individual is up for it. Most importantly it strengthens our club and we wont take a step back with that! 

 

Round 2 off now unfortunately then we host Golden Grove! A side on the move. 

 

Well done to Jo Stagg and all helpers Satdy with Ladies day. There is a good vibe at the club and revolves around all the volunteers and support staff. It's great.

Finally Round 1. Seems a long time coming but I know I speak on behalf of the guys when I say we are looking forward to it. Although we have attracted some good new players to the side the spirit and heart remains intact and the improvement from the group on the whole is the most satisfying thing over the past six months. 

 

So now it's down to business. The boys are fit under the guidance of Dave Salter, our runner and all round good bloke! They are well structured because they have given us something to really work with and they are sick to death of crawling and it's time to walk before we run! 

 

Selection was tough and we are fielding a very strong seconds and thirds. New players in are Hamish (Spider) Gordon, Dylan Gamble, Tom Quinn, Daniel Hill, Glen Soper. We also welcome back Orry Cross and Lukas Kangur back into the Team. All the best lads!

 

I again, pass out our thanks from the playing group to the band of people who run the club! Yes we get the fun part but without the Unconditional support our cub people it wouldn't happen. 

 

All the best to all players tomorrow! 

 

SEE IT!

GET IT!

USE IT!

 

Pretty much covers it!

Great to have footy back & even greater to have such strong numbers to choose from.

 

Round 1 we kick off playing Seaton Ramblers.

 

Seaton finished the minor round last year in 2nd position with 15 wins & 3 losses.

 

However they would still be stinging from going out in straight sets, getting smashed in the Qualifying final by eventual Div 3 premier Modbury & a close loss to Pembroke in the semi final.

 

Our selected squad looks very different to last year’s team with around 10 new players in the starting lineup.

 

Retuned PHOS player Orry Cross will give some much needed help to Hot Dogs and allow Smythy not to have to ruck. Lucas Kangur played junior footy for the Phantoms pretty sure this is his first senior game for points on loan from the Bays will add plenty of class to the side. Great to see Nick Ramsey back after missing most of last year with injury. Tom Quinn will straighten us up in the forward line and provide some much need support to Jaqs who has spent a bit of time in the middle in the trial games.

 

We have a bye next week so try and get down and watch some local footy.

Craigs B Grade Postgame

 

We had a scratchy start last Saturday in the B Grade kicking inaccurately in front of goal in the first quarter while having plenty of the ball, but restricting Seaton to 1 goal was a good outcome.

 

Once things settled down and the lads got their round one nerves out of their system the game opened up for us and allowed us to play our running game with Billy Cameron and Brodhi Carracher using their explosive pace to move the ball quickly from their respective wings.

 

Going in at half time with a 77 point lead it was emphasised we needed to stick to our structures and team rules in order to extend our lead with our goal being to at least double our score by the end of the game.

 

Again, inaccuracy in front of goal in the third quarter restricted us but the work rate had definitely lifted, we just needed the rewards.

 

In the last quarter we finally got our eye in and kicked 10 goals with a mountain of work being done in the packs by our on ball brigade.

 

Saturday was a game where every single player contributed at a high level which made picking best players very difficult. Mitch Molnar was best on ground in his first game for the club for his heavy work around the packs feeding our outside runners while Billy Cameron had a great game dominating his wing. Dale Marriott was impressive, rucking most of the day and giving great service to our midfield while Andrew “Harry” Harris and Sam Williams both showed their class by kicking 6 goals each with Sam giving off at least another 4. Credit also goes to our back six restricting Seaton to 3 goals and working together well as a unit when the pressure was on them.

 

It was a great day for the club on Saturday with 3 solid wins, the challenge now is to keep improving.

 

Craigs B Grade Pregame

 

After starting in November, pre-season has finally finished and we are now into the real stuff. With some good recruiting over the summer and many players turning up wanting to play senior football with us this year we have had a massive squad to pick from with a wealth of talent right through the group which has made life hard at the selection table coming in to Round 1. We welcome 7 players into the B Grade playing their first game for PHOS, Tyson White, Dan James, Josh Marton, Mitch Molnar, Josh James, James Cadzow and Sam McGill all of which will push for A Grade selection at some stage. These lads have all shown over the summer they will be handy players to have around the club both on and off the field and will definitely compliment the established playing group we already have.

 

This week we have an established and experienced back six with a new look midfield who will deliver to a forward line that has a good mix of height and speed. With those sort of qualities on offer in the B Grade we need to make sure we stick to our structures and play the game on our terms for the full four quarters, once this is achieved the scoreboard looks after itself.

 

Good luck to all grades tomorrow and let’s kick the season off with 3 wins.
