Match Report:
In our first outing for 2010 we got a good fashioned old spanking. Down on numbers the team was unsettled to start. Then Brahma Lodge got out of the blocks at a great rate. In the first quarter we gathered ourselves and gave a fairly good account. But the writing was on the wall. We were going into the wind and putting up a good defence. Grant Hure was dominating the ruck and around the ground in the air. Mat Kooyman was keeping their forwards honest and Robbie Brauer was his normal self - gathering many possessions.
But in the second quarter things started to fall apart. We were with the wind but Brahma Lodge were into attack. And this was how the game unfolded from this point on. We were being given a footy lesson and did not have any answers.
It was a poor result. But to the credit of all players no one threw in the towel. All continued to battle, but were overwhelmed by a better opponent.
The second half became a flood of goals to the Tigers. We attempted to stem the flow with Scott Hadnum having an influence, Tim Morris tried to rev the players up and James "Bruno" O'Loughlin gave a good account of himself. Making the difficult look easy.
But in the end we chased.
Best: 1. Mat Kooyman for his game out of defence. Never gives up and no one gets an easy kick (on him) 2. Grant Hure with speed and aerial supremacy in the ruck dominated bounces and marked consistently 3. Robbie Brauer gathers possessions and put us forward (and will press for higher selection) 4. James O'Loughlin makes the hard thing look easy. Very good in ruck and will press for higher selection as well. 5. Scott Hadnum has the skills and displayed them, particularly when moved to centre.
Others to come under notice included Captain Kym Rasheed, Andrew Jones and Tim Morris.
