A Senior's Game
Yesterday I watched the second quarter and half of the third quarter as North Brunswick Senior team played North Balwyn. It was a great game that I saw and it was probably a comeback stage by us. I saw us kick about 7 goals and them kick 2. I can't remember the scores but I'm sure we thrashed them. I saw Ange, our junior club's manager, playing. He was probably a captain coach, which was quite strange. I also saw someone take a mark in a contest of three Balwyn players. He took it then fell to the ground and let someone else take it. They scored and that was the start of the comeback. It was at Allard Park, our home ground.

Thursday Training 1
The coach wasn't at training this week. Some kids were mucking around but I was going to a birthday party later anyway so I didn't go. We don't have a game this week either
so it doesn't really matter.

North Brunswick vs. Banyul
"Mark your players!"
That was the phrase I heard the most apart from "C'mon, boys!" It was what Taxi, our coach, was saying at every quarter interval. In the first quarter there were loose Banyul boys everywhere. I was in back pocket, marking my man, but half the other defenders were standing alone, waiting for the ball. But why would the ball come to them when the nearest Banyul man was 20 metres away? It was a shocking first half, although we scored 1.0.6 to their 3.2.20 or something. After a huge talk with Taxi like: "You got Huss at full forward, he can take any player on with his size! You got Alex at centre-half forward, I put him there for a reason! You got runners like Blues, Monkey, Darzi, Sunshine! Use them!"
The second half was much better. We got 5.4.34 as a total to their 5.6.36. Even though we lost, it was like a win. Rory at full back played spectacularly well but our forward and centre started to fall apart in the last quarter. Blues gave away a silly high that resulted in a goal. It was good,yet we could of won it if we had marked them, not given awy silly free kicks and running harder. I played the third quarter in the forward pocket where I didn't play well. In the back line I got two marks, two kicks and a handball, so I easily played better than in the forward line, where I got 1 measly handball.
