We finished this game as we started, unorganised at the back and not covering each other. First time we've played Broadway, they came into the game above us and 2nd, the annoying thing is for most of the game we played really well, the best we have in a while! We were winning by around 5 goals at one point but for whatever reason, fitness, concentration, composure; we let them back in the game.
Off the back of last weeks dissapointment, it seemed as good a time as ever to move back to half-way defending with Graeme being back. While it took the team a few mins to settle (allowing them a 2 goal lead), once we relaxed and put our foot on the ball, we started some good passing and link up play. We had Stimos brother Dave playing for the first time and he did a good job covering the back. Allowing players like myself to push forward a bit more than usual and with the halfway tactic, Stimo way given more counter attacking opportunities.
Second half started as the first ended, we were playing a nice tight defence, covering really well for each other and when we countered, usually playing some good footy. Looking back, a key turning point may have been the incident with Burke and one of their players. I don't think we should give any f#ckers from the other team such mentions like this on here but I don't know how the guy only got a 2min sinbin. I felt the ref let us down a few times to be honest and his indecisiveness caused us to concede an important goal late in the game.
Anyway, the incident seemed to rally their team and when we couldn't make the extra man count, the return of the sinbinner applied more pressure to us and they broke us down.
Next time we should have Craig, Ken & Rob playing so i think those who played last night, will be expecting some revenge because we deserved more than we got.
Bring it on!
