Last week we travelled to Kingston Beach Oval to take on an improving Kingborough. Its always hard to win down there with the small ground throwing up something different than what we're used to.
We wanted to start building some momentum for the coming weeks and needed to put in a strong performance against quality opposition. We were able to take early control of the game with our midfield working hard and our forwards on top. We went into the first break with a 3 goal lead but knew we had work to do. The second quarter seen us waste opportunities, we made some poor decisions with the football and turned it over far too much but were able to extend the lead to 26 points at half time. The second half was much the same with us not being able to completely shake the determined young Tigers until late in the game and finally ran out 42 point winners.
Better players on the day were captain Nick Braslin who continues his great form, Brendon Johnson was fantastic through the midfield, Robert Harwood is starting to hit good form while our whole baclike continue to stand up every week.
Next week we're back at home when we take on Brighton. Daniel Willing |

In muddy conditions the Two Blues failed against a revitalized Brighton team that held no resemblance to the team we played in round 1 of the season. The conditions again called for some hard straight line football and a desire to win the hard ball. We as a side didn’t lack the desire, but what was most disappointing on the day was that we continually turned the ball over and in the end it cost us. We also were very deficient when going forward to convert our opportunities. We had winners all over the ground and we had a fair share of the football but at the end of the day these are just excuses as we did not come away with a win. We still don’t play the wet conditions very well and this could be a problem until the grounds dry out a bit. Better players on the day were Andrew Clarke and Nick McWilliams who relish these hard conditions. Mitch Leale and Trent Laird are now finding some good form and Nathan Hollis and Paul Jackson worked hard. Next week we take on Claremont at home in hopefully a better performance than the week just passed.. Kaine Menzie |
