Quinnys (A grade) Postgame Report

 

I'll start this by saying well done to Tristan Shaw on 100 games for the PHOS Football Club. Shawy, also known as "The Difference" had his hands full early Saturday but in true fashion fought back to win his position! His leadership and steadiness down back is greatly appreciated and admired by his team mates and coaches! 

 

We played for the Clements/Salisbury Cup on Saturday. Only played for once in 20 years so to win it was great and to have Bruce and Family there was extra special and enhances our culture further. 

 

Plympton had a red hot go at us Satdy and their tenacity and intensity was a credit to them.  In saying that Plympton undertook similar tactics to what we've confronted numerous times this year! It's ideal for us as it's character building and we are having really good results from it! I'm very proud of the lads ability to just get on with it and remain hard at the footy. Dylan Gambles very hard but very fair hip and shoulder on a player yesterday personified the attitude that if you are patient and remain ready to strike the chance will present! I believe that act changed the course of the game in what was a bit of a see saw prior! 

 

It wasn't a pretty game but both sides played some good footy! I believe our structure and fitness and willingness to seek improvement was the difference! All players contributed and really seemed ready to play and stick at it! Very pleasing from a coaching view! 

 

Goal kickers were spread with Dylan Gamble 4, Hamish Gordon, Tom Quinn and Steve Williams 3. Singles to Aaron Bergsma, Daniel Hill, Sam Williams, Brent Van Gils and Matt Jacquier. 

 

Our best players were plenty, again everybody had a serviceable game and some were real good. Some copped a spray and responded very well ie Teddy and Rama and showed terrific character to improve so well done lads. I thought Orry Cross and Steve Williams had good games in the Ruck and Forward and wore down a very good young ruckman for Plympton. Hamish Gordon played a great team game kicking goals but his courageous acts and annoyance of Gambo's tag was good. Brent Van Gils was solid all day around the footy and Jarrad Braley was excellent at centre half back. Kris Evans was his normal intense well skilled self and Ryan Reavley solid across half back. Smythy was very good on ball adding to his versatility despite knocking off a kransky 20 mins before the game! I thought our three best were Dylan Gamble, 4 goals and a great physically controlled game despite a hard tag, Aaron Bergsma for grunt and work rate through the middle as well as first class direction and intensity. Our best was Tom Clarke in the back pocket, faultless display with leadership, courage, great decision making and very good skill! 

 

So all up, a good win and at the half way mark of the year sitting 7/1 with a good percentage things look solid! We are continually working to improve and "get good at being good" and a real highlight is our depth and pressure from the two's. Craig is doing a great job with them and they are playing great team orientated footy and seem ready that when their chance to come up comes, they’ll be ready! Popey has the C's having a good year and despite a couple of losses if they keep working hard they’ll get a win this week. 

 

Seaton this week. Let's hope we can all just play footy. 

 

Ta, Quinny.

Craigs (B grade) Postgame Report

 

 

After having a week off with the bye it would've been quite easy for our boys in the B grade to come into last Saturday's game with a relaxed mindset but to their credit they came out firing for a big game.

 

Our first five minutes was a bit scratchy with Plympton keen to take it up to us but they couldn't capitalise with our back six including Brent Eddy working hard to keep them out.

 

Once we found our feet and got our game going the players moved the ball well with precision and speed producing goals from defense by running and carrying the ball. The work rate from our midfield including Mitch Molnar, Harry Walters and Jono Koutsikas was great with the support of Harry Young, Sam Willcocks and Josh Marton who gave us a physical presence around the ground while Andrew Harris rewarded the good work done further up the ground by kicking 7 goals from full forward.

 

Having a game like we did on Saturday makes it hard to leave players out of our best as everyone contributed heavily to the win. Anthony Flett had his best B grade game this year running several opponents ragged, kicked 4 goals and handed off a few more while Ben Toohey had a great game in the ruck giving our mids first use at stoppages and getting plenty of ball himself. Wil Papatolis kept his good form in the midfield going getting plenty of the ball and kicking 2 goals. Tom "TJ" Finn dominated in the backline creating plenty of rebound footy by attacking the contest and Lachlan McDonald had another good running game on the wing including his hanger, much to the delight of the crowd.

 

This was a game where we could have let our standards drop, but to the players' credit they maintained their intensity and work rate from the previous game which is a sign that our young playing group is focused and maturing, great work fellas!

 

Well done to the A's for grinding out the win against a determined opponent and bad luck to the C's who I know will work hard to regroup for a win next week.

Quinnys A grade Pregame

 

Tomorrow we head to Plympton on what's predicted a great day for footy. After the long weekend where the boys hopefully relaxed and enjoyed their time I think it's fair to say we are all looking forward to getting into it! 

 

Out of our A grade side is Sam Inglis due to injury and Harry Walters and Harry Young go back to the two's for no other reason than they've been squeezed out by Matt Jacquier and Daniel Hill coming back from a week off and Adam Scholz returns to the side after being injured in Round 1 and playing well in the two's last game! A big inclusion to compliment the group! 

We are really proud of the lads who've come in and out of the side! They've rolled with the punches and keep delivering to put their name up again! With the club almost injury free it can be frustrating but hang in there as its helping our club no end! 

 

All the best to Craig and the B's, great performance before the bye and Popey and the C's no doubt keen to fight back this week. 

 

Have a great time at PHOS Square tomorrow night, support the club! Most importantly, look after each other and the people who come to our club! 

 

See you Satdy, Quinny.

Congratulations to Tristan Shaw who plays his 100th game for the club this week..all the best Shawry!.

 

Tight win in the As & good win by the Bs (2 weeks ago) against Old Ignatians. Cs looking to a rebound after there first loss for the season against Kennilworth.

 

Round 9: is the local derby, we play for some silverware!, The Scott Salisbury / Steve Clements Cup against Plympton FC.

 

Scott played over 200 games (including 2 premierships) for SANFL side Glenelg, played state footy in 1987 and was awarded All Australian honors in the same year. Scott played Junior & senior football at Plympton.

 

Steve Clements hails from the Clements family who have been a massive part of the club in the past 20-40 years. Steven’s father Dennis (ex A grade Team Manager) has the Dennis Clements Cup named after him, which is awarded to the best of the junior best & fairest recipients. Steve’s brother (Bruce) is an ex Club President, A grade captain & club record holder with 275 games, A grade premiership player in 1989 & captain coach of the 1999 C grade premiership side. Bruce will be at the game to award the cup to the winning side in honor of his brother who sadly passed away in 1995. The Phantoms would like to invite all family & friends of Steven's to the game.

 

The 2014 Bulldogs team finished in 7th position with 7 wins 11 losses, missing out on the finals.

 

This year the team is also in 7th position with 2 wins and 5 losses, the wins were against Mitcham & Seaton. They lost there game against Golden Grove so will be keen to do well against us.

 

Changes:

(Ins):  M. Jacquier, A. Scholz, D. Hill

(Outs) : S. Inglis, H. Young, H. Walters

 

Plympton Bs are in 8th spot with only the 1 win.

 

The C's take on Scotch College Old Scholars at home @ 12:15pm..the SOC's are flying undeafeated in top position with 7 wins 0 losses, the boys will have to be at there best. Hope to see all of the Popeys boys across the road at Plymton to watch the As with good news.

 

Go Phantoms

 

Craigs B Grade Pregame

 

After a good win before the bye we must be switched on and not let complacency set in this week against Plympton. The hunger and desire to win should be stronger and we have definitely now set a standard that we want to maintain for the rest of the season.

 

With second spot up for grabs we must be ready for anything that Plympton is prepared to throw at us and ensure that everyone sticks to playing their role in the team.

 

We get the 3 Harrys back this week with Harry Young and Harry Walters back from the A’s who will both want to stamp their mark on the game while Andrew “Harry” Harris can add to his goal tally this week after having a few weeks off. Simon Brozel also comes in and will give us some more explosive speed around the ground after an extended time out of the game.

 

This Saturday is all about backing up the good work we have done in the games that led into the bye and maintaining momentum, keeping up the intensity, tackling pressure, teamwork and working hard for each other, things that have got us to where we are currently.

 

With so many players available and in form it is definitely making it harder to select a side each week, unfortunately we can only select 21 and to every player’s credit they are all maintaining their high standards at training and every Saturday to push for selection to keep the coaches on their toes. Looking at the big picture this is great for the club and it is showing the class and character of the players we have, well done lads!

 

Good luck to Simon and the A grade and Popey’s C grade in their top of the table clash.
