Saturday at 15:05 at Willi.
They're going very well, but we'll be back to maybe half a dozen AFL players.
The 2s are 2nd last the 1s with players dropping like flies are likely to drop out of the 8 this week or the next. I reckon when the 2s dont perform, the 1s dont either and vice versa (sometimes).
B: Cowan , Lewis, Le. Young
HB: Wilson, Akuei, La. Young
C: Phillips, Binns, Maher
HF: Cahill, Monahan, Moir
F: McMahon, Lemmey, Nelson
R: Mirkov, Goonan, Ramshaw
INT: Prout, White, Poole*, Lefroy, Harvey
EMG: Ferronato, Lambert, Stevens, Gill, Verrell, Gedi, Riley
Down by 5 goals at 3/4 time. :-[ :-[
AFL listed Binns, Cowan, Wilson and Young getting the ball most.
Not much from Moir, Akuei & Monahan.
Not a bad game at Willi.
On a ground notoriously tough for any visiting side, we're putting up a fight.
Liking the games from: Binns, Cowan, Wilson & Young.
31 pts down at 3/4 time after holding Willi reasonably well with the wind. We've got the wind in the last qtr.
Willi by 19pts 13 minute mark final qtr.
Back to 19pts. Cowan into the midfield has helped alot.
EDIT: 13pts.
7pts. With the wind behind us too. have about 11 minutes to win it.
1pt!
Level!
In front by a pt.
EDIT: Up by 7pts!!!!
EDIT: Up by 1pt again.
Did they win or not?
Rubbish free kick
Lost with a free kick after the siren. We found a way to lose.
Our defensive work was great but then the umpire found a fkn free kick.
Lost because of a bloody umpire free kick after the siren. Those humans stink.
Willi won by 5 pts... we did hit the front in the final qtr but just couldn't hang on. Entertaining game with some positives for our AFL listed boys. Liam McMahon 4 gls. Binns, Cowan and Young very good. Mirkov dominated the rucks with 44 hit outs. Liked Billy Wilsons game also.
13.10
12.11
Very ordinary free kick to give Willi the game.
What's with umpire's this year deciding games, now in both comps.
Liked how Cowans was so influential in the midfield when he went there.
Just turned on to see that we lost after the damned siren. That's the third time this year we've lost heartbreakers!
Binns: 28 disposals: must play AFL next week.
Cowan : 21 possessions - came home well.
Binns and Cowan would be the likely senior ins from that game along with Lewis Young if Weitering doesnt come up or is iffy.
Couple of old friends playing for Willi in Parks and Polson.....
Bit surprised a few clubs havent looked at ex GWS player Downie as a backup ruckman, can take a mark and has some know how.
Liam Mcmahon continues to show his talent and ex GC VFL Full forward in Brodie Mclaughlin is a player I think could make it as a senior AFL footballer, plays a bit like Georgiades from Port and is a nice kick for goal.
Pity Ramshaw doesnt have a bit more pace as he can get the footy and be damaging.
Cowan did what he needs to, dropped back and looked a cut above
Billy Wilson's pace is impressive. I'd look at him over Williams for whatever role Williams is supposed to be doing.
Good game - Binns continues to be a machine. He has been outworking all his opponents for 18 months
Ned Cahill: 1 goal 5 behinds. :(
Tom Phillips: 12 disposals - not enough from one of our few experienced players. Not doing what we really need him to do.
Harry Lemmey: 8 disposals and 1 goal :( :(
When looking down the stats for Williamstown, noticed a Harrison Minton-Connell. Sounds like he is the son of Simon who played for the Blues. Simon Minton-Connell was a talented forward who played at four VFL/AFL clubs. Wikipedia provides an interesting account of his football career: -
