AJAX v Chadstone - Away
I guess the question I have is this:
When you live through a winter in Melbourne, how many times are you allowed to beg for another beautiful sunny day to play football on?
And with that, we were blessed with another beautiful day of sunshine (in all truth) because the big fella upstairs shone on Jeff and his All Abilities team … we were just the fortunate beneficiaries of having the game on the same day.
Go Jeff and the AA crew
The Saturday Thirds is are a resilient mob. Full of joy and happiness in going about their business, even if the starting point is seven changes to the team that played the previous week
We welcomed to the Sunday Thirds Moshe Rosenbaum, Jake Schwartz and Josh Lindell, added Charlie Gross and Jordan Friede, got back Adrian Rosenwax and lured out of retirement … Brad Nirens
Meeting an opposition that had won the same number of games as us, had the leading goal kicker in the division and a big shopping centre nearby were always going to be what looked big obstacles from the outset.
There was a little nervousness around
The team ran out in to searing heat and just like the weather by quarter time, having kicked 6 goals to 0, much of the game was cooked
The team continued to embrace the Team Themes and in the end ran out convincing winners by over 100 points
Wins are recorded in time by goal kickers, but we know that wins are built around the back six
Special mention to our backs this week who were tremendous in repelling everything that came their way. The Iron Dome, SOA, Feldy, Joshy B, Waxonoff, and Slim Shady were impenetrable
Sunny it was … pretty much the same as the Saturday thirds footy
A week off and then back to it!
