I'm feeling so happy tonight! It wasn't such a pretty game, but we looked to have great skills and know how to use the wet ball well. Big yays for our second win of the season, so happy for the boys. They looked like they were really enjoying their footy today.
Our first draft pick from last year, #2 overall, was introduced and what a fantastic debut he had! 26 possession game, 3rd highest behind the usuals in Lappin (31), Campo (27) & Scotland (27). So so proud of him already! His day wouyldda been capped off if he couldda kicked a goal, or kept hold of the speky of a mark he went for. You could see he was going to go for it, I was sitting right behind him, he took a run, the huge leap, the crowd went up, but the kid came down without the sherrin ... oh well. So excited for his career to blossom following on from this debut. He looked so calm out there, and on a few occassions his kicks didn't quite make their target, he looked so angry with himself, was shaking his head and clenching his fists. It was topped off quite lovely by an lovely run in and instead of having a shot himself, kick out to Scotland who kicked a nice goal, and the entire team got down to Walker to encourage him, and straight after his goal, Scotland ran after Walker as if he was running for his life. The ffort the guys took in getting to Walker to encourage him was fantastic.
He's a little cutie too!
So proud of the way we plugged awa,y and keeping Weagle goaless until mins into the 3rd quarter was a fine, fine effort by all, but especially the backline.
Banno did a great job on Judd and little Walker even had a few runs alongside Judd. So so happy and proud.
YAY Blues!
