AJAX v De La Salle - Away
This match was a great opportunity and experience for the Development team to measure themselves against a long time A Grade footy side in De La Salle. The stakes were high so the Development team focussed on Voice, Energy and Aggression for the first half.
First quarter was a disappointing one with very little Voice, Energy or Aggression towards the contest and which has been a common thread across the first three matches this season. To their credit the team fought back well in the second quarter and were first to the ball at most contests, to find themselves back in the game.
In the third quarter the team continued to battle valiantly but couldn't run the game out against the stronger and fitter De La Salle side. A common theme so far in the first three rounds, the opposition ran harder for longer and in the end, managed to shake off a tired AJAX Development team in the 4th quarter.
They played well in patches but consistency is needed across all 4 quarters in order to be competitive in B Grade reserves.
Next week sees the Development team play Williamstown at a home game.
Goals: N Micmacher, Gold, Rozenwax, Light, R Spicer
Bests: L Zielinski, Israel, Carp, R Spicer, Light, Rothschild
