YOU BEAUTY!!!
What a game! Nothing like slogging out a win against a fancied opposition in the wet! Although i knew it meant the crowd would be well down for the main game and would look crap on tv, was glad the rain came down.
The end of the 1st quarter was probably their best patch, where they were able to run the ball into the wind and score fairly easily.
Glad the rain came when it did, stopped Willy from playing open footy, and denied them using the strong wind effectively in the 2nd qu.
Well done Patty Hassett on BOG, great to see. Thought Sammy Rudolph was sensational all day, in fact the whole backline worked hard together, and really shut willy down.
Gooch up forward was great, especially his 2nd goal in the first term, (when it was still sunny) on the boundry and under pressure. Spent a good minute or so fighting with little number 11 in the last term as the ball kept passing over their heads. Would love to see him given a go at seniors. Poor old Cooky did his hammy in the last, but did well while it was dry, and worked hard when it was wet.
Though Sammy Gibson was great, Holmes, (Shane Brewer look-alike) was hard working, Gibson... the team just played so well together. Big Stuey Hill kicked an important goal in the last term and really stood tall with a couple of important mark. A bit nervy when Willy hit back in the last term but we steadied well.
Great scenes in the middle of the ground at the end there, Willy looked so dejected, it was great! Couldn't stick around for the seniors GF, but was so glad i got down to see hopefully what is the future of the Box Hill footy club.
As Arthur was heard to say .... WHAT A VICTORY!
