Round 15 vs Tasmania
Body: 
[b]DOLPHINS THRASH DEVILS IN DOMINATE DISPLAY[/b] Frankston have beaten Tasmania by 79 points in their game played at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Sunny but cool conditions greeting the players with temperatures of around 10 degrees. The Dolphins got the jump on the Devils kicking the 1st 2 goals and from there the Devils played catch up. Frankston lead by 4 points at the 1st change. Frankston continued to play well in the 2nd quarter at one stage the Dolphins lead by as much as 30 points at one stage with Marcus Margliani playing well up forward and Daniel "Normie" Clarke dominating in the ruck. Paul Kennedy was also doing a great job restricting Tassie midfielder Ken Hall to just 3 first half possessions. A mini fightback by the Devils late in the 2nd quarter reduced the margin to 15 points at the main change. Disapponting news for the Dolphins at half time with Chris Oliver not taking any further part in the game with an abdominal injury. The 3rd quarter was always going to be crucial and it turned out that way as the Dolphins came out with all guns blazing led by Brett Dore, Ricky Morris and Marcus Marigliani up forward with Shaun Pollard dominating in defense and big "Normie" Clarke in the ruck. The Dolphins kicked 9 goals to Tasmania's 1 to effectively end the contest as the Dolphins lead by 63 points at the final change. Looking for a percentage booster the Dolphins continued on kicking another 7 goals in the final quarter to Tasmania's to win he game by 79 points. Marcus Margliani with 6 goals was named the ABC Man of the Match with Ricky Morris(5 goals), Brett Dore(5 goals) and Shaun Pollard also in the Dolphins best. But it was a fantastic team effort. This was Frankston's biggest score and greatest winning margin for the season. It was also Frankston's biggest score in Tasmania. A great effort to travel Tasmania twice this year and win both games. A big thank you to all the supporters who came down to Hobart to support the team. Frankston remain a slim chance at a finals berth with a 5-8 record and in 11th place. Next Sunday the Dolphins are back at home against Williamstown starting at 2pm. This will be a big occasion as well as it is the Annaul "Past Players" Day it is also Daniel "Normie" Clarke's 200th game. He will become the 1st Dolphin to reach this milestone. Lets hope we can get as many Frankston supporters there as possible.
