WEEKEND WRAP | SENIOR MEN

After a few tough weeks, it was pleasing to see the group respond the way they did against Northern Saints on Saturday.
We’ve been hit hard with injuries over the last month and probably haven’t been playing the brand of footy we expect, but I thought our pressure and intent around the contest was back to where it needs to be. Defensively we were really strong and our ball use going forward allowed us to finally make the most of our opportunities in front of goal.
A few of our experienced players really stood up. Jordan Kosteas and Jordan Hollow have both moved through the midfield and given us great drive, Ryan Capron is starting to find form again and Adrian Alfonsi was outstanding with nine goals up forward.
We’ve had a new look forward line this season through injuries and player turnover, so we knew it would take some time to build chemistry. Sitting at 3–3 with the number of players we’ve had unavailable is something we’ll take, but there’s still plenty of improvement left in us.
The exciting part is we now have a number of players pushing back for selection, which creates strong competition across the group heading into this week’s game against East Sunbury.
