Colts 2 Round 9 Match Report
Colts 2 Round 8 Match Report
| Fitzroy Colts 2 were visitors to a fourth-placed Bundoora 2 at Telfer
Reserve this week. Bundoora 2 were 4-3 and playing to secure a spot
in the final four. Fitzroy had suffered a bad defeat the previous
week and were looking to bounce back. |
 |
 |
The first quarter started with a bang – the Fitzroy boys had
received clear instruction and they responded, kicking 5.6 to nothing
against the breeze. Tom and Nikos were giving our on ballers (Francis,
Julian T, and Martyn) first use of the footy and these centre players
made sure the opposition did not have any easy clearances. |
| Our back line was repelling Bundoora’s attacking thrusts and
giving our players good first use of the footy. The feature of the
first quarter was the clean handball receives, team work, talk, and
hardness at the contest. |
 |
 |
The second quarter saw Bundoora bounce back, kicking four goals
to the halfway point. This is where the Fitzroy boys dug deep and
found the courage to answer with four late goals of their own to even
up the quarter – a turning point for this side. In the past
the team had tended to drop its head when challenged. Instead they
fought to maintain the quarter-time lead…a brilliant effort
by all. |
| The third was a tight affair as Bundoora threw everything at us.
They were very physical at the contest, and running hard from their
half-back line. Again, to our boys’ credit, they responded to
every challenge with some outstanding acts of courage and run. Fitzroy
took the 3rd quarter honours by a point. |
|
 |
In the last we were kicking with the breeze and banked on our fitness
level to run the game out hard. Again Bundoora kept coming, but our
back six stood up, which had done so well all day with great help
from our midfield getting back to help, and then running hard into
space to create forward thrusts. |
| The forward line was kept open as our thrusts forward kept hitting
the hotspot to our advantage. In the end Fitzroy ran out winners by
50 points. In so doing, they kept the season alive – only one
game out of the final 4. |
|
 |
Keep working hard and anything is possible.
Well done Colts 2!
