[Hes My Hero]

I noticed that Jake Carlisle was name in the best for the Cannons, but what posi was he playing ?

Surely he would have played forward wouldn't he ?
Although he wasn't mentioned as a goal kicker.
Can someone please explain  ???

Not sure HMH. No mention of Carlisle in the match report....

Midfielder keeps the Falcons dream alive
Brent Diamond | September 14, 2009


Allan Christensen

GEELONG Falcons midfielder Allan Christensen reminded recruiters of his midfield prowess and leadership abilities as he notched 31 disposals in a best-on-ground performance in the Falcons' 41-point semi-final win over Gold Coast at Visy Park yesterday.

Falcons coach Garry Hocking said Christensen, an evasive and quick thinking onballer, took over the leadership responsibilities of skipper and top-10 draft prospect Ben Cunnington, who struggled through the game with a hip injury. Cunnington is expected to be OK for Saturday's preliminary final against the Dandenong Stingrays.

"Our captain was a bit down today," Hocking said. "Allan can fill the breach leadership-wise and can also perform well on the ground.

"He was terrific. Through the middle, half-back, up forward. He plays in many spots. He was terrific over the footy. He uses it very well.''

Billy Smedts and Zac Ledin also racked up a swag of disposals, while another highly rated gun, Gary Rohan, was "lively".

The Falcons avoided an embarrassing straight-sets exit - after finishing six games clear on top of the ladder - to keep their premiership dream alive, 11.14 (80) to 5.9 (39).

Jake Carlisle played himself into a first round definate yesterday. He was able to match Butcher in all facets as well as being an attacking defender who started attacks. He also looked dangerous as a forward.

Stingrays knock Falcons off perch to set up Cannons grand final
Brent Diamond | September 20, 2009

DANDENONG Stingrays upset flag favourites Geelong Falcons with some unheralded potential stars shining in the lead-up to the AFL draft during the upset 41-point win at Visy Park yesterday.

The Stingrays will meet Calder Cannons in Friday night's TAC Cup under-18 grand final, after the Cannons won by 32 points over the Eastern Ranges.

The Stingrays won with minimal impact from touted No. 1 AFL draft selection Tom Scully, who was shut down by Michael Sodomaco.

But they had plenty of match-winners in the engine room including Madison Andrews and Ryan Bastinac, who had 23 disposals each, while Luke Parker and Adam Treloar finishing with two goals each in the 11.17 (83) to 5.12 (42) win.

Coach Graeme Yeats praised his hard-at-it midfielders, who ground away against the highly regarded Falcons.

''Madison has been a real consistent performer at a reasonable level,'' Yeats said.

''Today he was really determined to do well to try and push himself up into the eyes of some of the recruiters. He's been consistent. He's probably had a quietish month so he was very determined.

''He and Ryan Bastinac are our two best contested ball-winners,'' he said.

''We certainly highlighted the fact that we needed to be good in the contested position situation. Those guys really stood up for us,'' he said.

The Stingrays knocked the Falcons - who had won 17 of 18 matches during the home-and-away season - off their perch in what was a dominant display after taking a 23-point lead at the main break.

Calder Cannons took control of the clearances in the second half against Eastern Ranges to earn a grand final berth, 13.9 (87) to 8.7 (55).

It was a raft of the Cannons' bottom of aged players that stepped up including touted future father-son selections Thomas Liberatore and Mitchell Wallis.

Dion Prestia was brilliant around the stoppages and across half-back, while Jake Carlisle continued his outstanding season.

Powerhouse forward Jacob Thompson booted four goals for the winners.

Serhat Temel, who had kicked 14 goals in the past fortnight, didn't have the same impact on the scoreboard but was equally affective according to coach Martin Allison.

Eastern Ranges paid dearly for a knee injury to forward Ben Griffiths.
