Today we travelled to Glen Iris for a game that started at 3pm. We have never had a late start and with only 18 players fate was not on our side.
We did not start well and allowed Glen Iris to score twice. Maybe we were asleep but we couldn’t get into the game.
Yes the team [...]

Canterbury 17. 7. 109 def Richmond 9. 6. 60
Once again Canterbury played exceptional football with strength in the midfield. Good running from their wing and centre attack proved too strong and beating Richmond by 49 points.
Richmond showed good poise and repelled with their strength from the half back line. At times particularly in the last [...]
With the last meeting against Ivanhoe going right down to the last few minutes to find the result, this game on paper looked to be a very even contest again. The Tigers were missing last years Best & Fairest (Matthew Facey) and Runner Up in that award (Lawrence Miriklis) along with 2-3 other players so [...]
Today was a very important day for two reasons….
1. This was the only team that had beaten us.
2. Tilly was celebrating her 100th game and family and friends were there to watch her skills.
It was a windy start to the game and it didn’t let up all day.
We had a full team plus our 4 recruits from [...]

After a very slow start when completely overun by the opposition, we at least were more competetive in the 2nd half, and if a lesson was to be learnt from this game it would be how the Fitzroy team were able to put amazing pressure on us when we had the ball and cause turnovers, and [...]
