Round 15 – Part 2 – All’s good in the world again!
From our guest reporter Darren Spence
All’s good in the world again! The Demons have had a great win and to top it off we wiped the floor of one of our traditional rivals. What better way to spoil the Bombers 2000 reunion shindig by pulling their pants down! And what a performance it was…… Let’s look at the highlights:
Ø At last we managed to get a way to a good start (in fact we kicked our highest score for the first half this year)
Ø The old heads pulled their weight with Green and Bruce both dominating (Green incidentally must be a smokey for All Australian (AA) honours if he keeps up this rich vein of form)
Ø Trengove again showed his class, Dunn did more than an admirable job on their skipper and Jones toweled up Stanton
Ø Sylvia showed us just how valuable he is to our team by breaking lines with his strong body and sublime kicking skills and Bennell played probably his best game for the Dees
Ø Jordie McKenzie (or J.Mc2.0) is a ripper…….he must be a certainty to make our senior list next year. His shepherd to allow Bruce to kick his first goal showed the endeavour and commitment that is so essential to success
Ø Jamar again showed why he is in AA form and perhaps surprisingly had a world record 7 kicks for the game (his most ever)…..an historic day for the big Russian on all fronts
Ø LJ got through the game unscathed and showed glimpses of why his is and will continue to be a crowd puller whenever he plays, and
Ø The comeback when Essendon put the pressure on in the 3rd quarter shows we have the ability to dig deep when it counts and won’t be brushed aside by other teams as easily anymore
I could go on and on as across the board there were strong contributions and undoubtedly some pleasing headaches at the selection table this week.
