Another soft goal to Box Hill. Our "tackling" as pathetic as our goalkicking today.

28 - 54

[one-eyed]

Trezise on the run from 40 and of course we miss again  .

29 - 54

[one-eyed]

Ball falling short at the Brunton Ave end all day and our forwards continue to play 5m behind their direct opponent when these high balls are kicked in .

[one-eyed]

Davidson long and Gray gets a free for a push 25 out. Let's see if we can finally find the middle between the big sticks. '

Hooray! Finally! 

Rich  4.11-35

Banks and Bauer leaps high to get his hands to it but isn't paid the mark. Siren.
