ROUND 14 vs Footscray
After their win last week, Port are the only team guaranteed finals. All we need to do to make finals in beat the team 11th on the ladder. Let’s see how hard we can make that look…
For the first time of the year, we’re at the magical place that is Windy Hill.
Sophie Ure, MadGray, Eloise Ashley-Cooper, and some other yobbo.
La Presidenta is on scoreboard duty on the far wing, where you can say anything and no one will know.
We give up the lead, and steal it back just before half-time. It’s 3.0.18 to 2.1.13, but we’re mostly being out-worked.
Nek minute: the Dogs rapidly double their score, and we are looking at missing finals.
Kenny makes a rundown tackle for a set shot… misses. Then she gets in space, kicks from 25 on the run… hits the post! Argh!
A draw would mean we miss finals.
Mia gets whacked, distant ump has to over-ride the local. Slots it!
AND THEN THIS HAPPENS!
The last quarter is 20-2 in our favour, to eventually win comfortably 41-28.
Pressure like this Sutton rundown was how we turned the game around:
Kenny looking after a dazed Pearson – she copped a late hit to the head, and Wilson with a GOOD DOG.
Disposal-wise, it’s the usual culprits up the top: Molan 25, Chaston 21, Dicker 16, Sutton 15, Ryan 15 and 2 goals. Prpic has a game-high 6 clearances… from 7 disposals!
SHUT. UP.
