a light breeze, sun is out
finn is a late withdrawal
dylan wins the toss
off to a strong start
the midfield machine on fire
intense contests all
leeroy takes chances
roman to ollie sneaks one
fist pump from his mum
I make some changes
we are still winning contests
and into the breeze
the captain attacks
the way all good captains do
jasper’s on the ball
leeroy soars; 8’s down
“looks good for us” says Roman
the bench is pumped up
last half, breeze is up
I see that yuri is puffed
gus is strong and fast
johnny’s hands are clean
he has reached the next level
paddy roves his own kick
marlo is possessed
henry is reading the play
frankie takes no crap
we all tackle hard
the crowd know our names “go theo”
seb and matt are fierce
meg, strong in the wall
our intensity lifts still
it is hard to score
some hits behind play
now the wheels might come right off
I ask for cool heads
richmond are not cool
the coach said ‘you hit ‘em hard’
I don’t like it much
the breeze is stiff now
we so want to win this one
we throw ourselves in
elias and karl
ollie trying their hearts out
just one more goal please
they get away quick
olive, joey desperate acts
Leila tackles tough
siren sounds too soon
you wouldn’t be dead for quids
we did not concede

Love it
That’s exactly how I remember the game. The kids were terrific. Thanks Coach Yabby.
