ROUND 2 - 02 MAY 2010

WERRIBEE V SOUTHERN SAINTS - CHIRNSIDE PARK

These two clubs had never met before in this ‘rivalry round’. Chirnside Park is a magnificent oval and hosted a VFA match the previous day. The o47 started arriving at 10am with some venturing to main street Werribee for a pre match meeting involving coffee and cigarettes.

Werribee is a thriving suburb and the marauding gangs of ‘’crips’’ and ‘’bloods ‘’were nowhere to be seen.

O 47s

Werribee 6.5 lost to Southern Saints 16.11

How could they win without Fitzy? In a horrific training injury on Wednesday this hand model/ruckman broke his nail. When he saw blood and started screaming like Ned Flanders it was a code red for all the trainers.

The Saints won this game with teamwork and pace. In what is termed ‘reverse flooding’ the saints managed to flood their forward line with players all running in. Joey managed two long bombs when Ron F was taken off him (word was that Frankie shut down the Joey machine down for maintenance).

When the Saints went forward they looked for Gorgeous George and then they had running options of Joey, Fleisch, Craig, Pepe, Joffa, Wayne, John Boy , Sniffa.

Ruck work was shared by first gamer Mario and Rod Harrop. This usually resulted in Neil or John Boy getting possession.
Before the game Werribee used their number one draft pick on Ronnie Frank. They already had a ‘Ronnie’ and a ‘’Frankie’’, I suggested ‘’ T Bone’’ like in the Seinfeld episode (..better than Coco or gammy).

Goal kickers:
Wayne 4, Sniffa 3, Joffa 3, Craig 2 Joey 2 Fleish 1 George 1

O47 continued

Final note: If Joffa gets multiple knocks to the head why is he complaining about a sore knee??

After the match we had presentations and food was made available by our hosts. Werribee presented a six pack for the best player of the opposing team, which was won by John Boy (excellent game Boy).

Oh, by the way did you know Werribee players had bottled water while the Saints used ‘recycled water’ during the game. Drink up boys....

Best Players Werribee: T-Bone (Ronnie F), stiffler, boner, meat, love-pump, donger

Coaches Report Southern Saints v Werribee.

After a lackluster opening term, where I believe both the Coach and the players underestimated the strength of the breeze and also had difficulty in adjusting to the vast playing surface, the Southern Saints knuckled down to increase pressure on the Werribee ball carriers and ground out a half time lead by the end of the second quarter.

Once we started hitting our targets we got right on top and Werribee had trouble bringing the ball through the corridor as they had earlier, our tackling was fantastic allowing us to get the ball free to our ball carriers.

JB and Skins were outstanding again and Baby Face gave us first use and a big presence around the contests. Billy D cemented his reputation as the competitions premier 50 year old player.

Huge game at home on the 16th against the also unbeaten Frankston. I urge everyone to make a special effort to get to training over the next fortnight in preparation for our biggest test so far.
