Round 15, Brentwood Booragoon V’s Kalamunda
The Cougars expected a tough game against the Bulldogs who they defeated at home in round 6 by 11 points. Since then, the Bulldogs have improved their position and now sit in 3rd position on the ‘B’ grade ladder. The Cougars who are currently showing good form, would have felt confident that they could repeat round 6 and come away from Karoonda Reserve with a win.
This did not happen as an undermanned Cougars, were outplayed by a tall fast skilful Bulldogs side.
In the first quarter the Cougars matched the Bulldogs around the ground however, they spoilt their scoring opportunities with poor delivery in the forward line.
In the second term the Cougars lost concentration and with it control as the Bulldogs raced ahead and with accurate foot and hand passing kicked 7.2 to the Cougars 1.3 to lead by 37 points at half time.
Coach Bolton at half time summed the situation up by referring to the ‘spectators’, not the ones on the boundary, he was referring to the ones on the field!
At that stage all aspects of good team football had deserted the Cougars.
In the third the ‘usual suspects’ did everything in their power to rally the team with some effect, to kick 2.3 while the Bulldogs went on their merry way kicking another 4.2 to push their lead out to 50 points.
In the final term something strange happened, whether it was ‘encouragement’ from coach Bolton or the Cougars became ashamed of their performance, or the Bulldogs ‘put the Cue in the rack’, the Cougars rallied and kicked 4.3 to the Bulldogs no score!
Again, our Cougars must realise, that to win at a higher level there must be a commitment to a higher level of concentration for a whole innings, not just the first over!
Final scores: Brentwood Booragoon 13.7 – 85, Kalamunda 9.8 – 62
Highlights: Zac Whites performance up back and Ritzie’s gallop in the 4th.
Best players: the usual suspects
Goals: Tyler Mouritz 4, Trent Pottinger 2, Ben de Guzman 1, Michael De Gasperis 1, Daniel Griffin 1.
