A’s Match Report
Round 16 Coaches Report
Hi All,
After a disappointing result last week against Glenunga we were excited to be back at home against Seaton on Saturday.
Whilst we had a few players back, we also had a few out from the side that took on Glenunga. We had another 5 changes last week which seems to be par for the course with us lately.
We started the game well and led by 4 goals at quarter time. I thought our ball movement was solid and our defensive game was exceptional in the first quarter. Seaton, in true Seaton style came at us all day and we never felt really confident that we had the game won until the last 10 minutes despite a comfortable lead all day. In the end we won by 31 points and reclaimed 2nd position on the ladder.
A very pleasing day for the club and we have now set ourselves up well leading into the last month of footy.
I would like to mention Justin Whitford who played his 100th Senior game on the weekend. A great achievement for a fine young Phos Camden man! I am sure there is plenty more in store for you Whitto.
Better players on the day were Mac Nield in his first A grade game for a number of weeks. Mac was very clean with the ball and brought some great defensive actions to win our best on ground award which was voted by the players this week. Will Papatolis had an outstanding first half and set us up with run all day. Declan Grant took mark after mark in the backline and he put in another strong game for which has been a very good season for Declan.
Others to note were Tom Unger who kept Seaton Key Forward Brett Harland (who is leading the Div 2 goal kicking) to 3 goals and Steve Williams (Hot Dogs) who has really given us something since he has come into the side and is leading our rucks.
This week is a massive week for our club. As has been mentioned, this week is our Mental Health round at home, we take on Henley in what promises to be a great game of footy.
Thanks to everyone for your support
