Another week on the road, as the women’s squad journeyed out to Donvale to clash with Whitefriars.

Preparing pre game in the visitors change rooms that might be generously described as having the footprint of a medium sized postage stamp certainly added a cozy element to many player’s pre-game rituals!

Outside an 8 goal “breeze” was swirling, with rain coming in sideways for good effect.

Round 16 against Point Cook at Salt water Reserve, last time against Point Cook we were beaten by a big margin so this week we were hoping that a win could be on the cards. The conditions were windy once again so scoring will be difficult.

Round 16 against Point Cook at Salt water Reserve, last time against Point Cook we were beaten by a big margin so this week we were hoping that a win could be on the cards. The conditions were windy once again so scoring will be difficult.

The first quarter we actually keep with them early with our backline holding up well, we kicked our first goal through Boyd with good ball movement and with other options up forward we kicked our second through Dylan .We worked hard for our goals with Boldy giving us plenty our drive out on the wing helping set up a 4 point lead at the break. This first quarter was one of our better efforts for the season as we normally have been slow starters.

Round 15 against La Trobe at the snake pit, last time against La Trobe we were beaten fairly convincingly so with the side we had in I was expecting a better performance today. The conditions over the last weeks have been windy so we should be used to it by now, scoring can be done at either end of the ground.

From Assistant Coach Jade Shanahan:

From the bottom of my heart, I just want to thank each and every one of the playing group for your efforts this season. For a group of women who predominantly have not played football prior to this year you can all be extremely proud of yourselves for the way you’ve embraced your training, preparation and game days. I’m incredibly proud of the way you all rose to the challenges of being an inaugural club, learning the game, staying positive all the way, supporting each other and managing your lives outside of the commitment that we asked of you. Well done! Be proud of yourselves, be proud of each other!

An icy wind and semi blue skies greeted us down at The Snakepit for our final home game of the year against the club whom we’d claimed our very first victory against earlier in the year.

A torrid first quarter resulted in only minor scores being kicked by both sides as the strong left to right wind played havoc with both sides ability to capitalise on goal scoring opportunities. Fitzroy’s physicality was a bit of a worry for our girls for a while, with a lot of niggle going on in the forward line both on and off the ball. Our forwards still managed to find a way to the ball though but unfortunately just couldn’t find a way to counter the wind.

The trip down to Albert Park was probably the farthest we’ve had to travel so far this season and by far the most ‘difficult’ in terms of grounds for a lot of our players to find!

Thankfully, despite the grey skies and a bit of wind there was also a bit of sunshine hiding behind the rather ominous looking clouds and we were hoping that any rain would hold off until after our game.

Doaky and the Senior men formed a ‘guard of honour’ as our girls, keen to atone for their horror brain fade 1st quarter of 2 weeks ago ran out onto the ground, a great gesture and certainly a ‘spark’ for the Lady Snakes. Continue reading “Men Rd 12 – Sth Melb | Women Rd 9 – Sth Melb” →

A chilly but thankfully sunny morning greeted us for our first away game for a couple of weeks, down at St. James Park. Early weather signs were of a swirly, right to left wind favouring the Burwood Road end of the ground and thankfully the sun was forecast to stay out so despite the wind, the sun would at least be keeping us a little bit warm.

After overnight and early morning rain, there was still a little bit of moisture on the ground at The Snakepit during our warm up, the centre square being the main offender, where there where a few puddles, but nothing that was going to cause any major concerns for either side. By the time the first bounce came around the sun had broken through the clouds and brought a little bit of warmth with it and a whole lot of a headache if you were playing down the clubrooms end of the ground on the coaches boxes side! Ahh the joys of living in Melbourne! Continue reading “Men Rd 10 – Power House | Women Rd 7 – St. Mary’s Salesian” →
