The 8Bs kicked off the day in wet conditions with South Fremantle scoring first. Kobe McMillan was influential in the ruck, running hard throughout the game. South were a bit too strong for our boys and used the ball well in the wet to come out winners for the first game.

The 9As were red hot from the first bounce with Keanu Haddow and Edward Curley showing some brilliant work through the middle. The game saw 9 Midwest boys take to the field which is fantastic to see and all played very well. Up forward Haddow, Simpson, Curley, Carroll Stedman and Dann were instrumental and the midfield contingent of Walker, Browne and Emery proved too strong and quick for the Bulldogs. Our defence was strong and the rebound off to our midfielders created our scoring opportunities. Josh Stedman had a very good second half in which he took some great marks up forward and kicked truly. Credit to our forwards for the accuracy in what was a brilliant display of football. The team work the boys showed was tremendous and they all helped each other out when need, which contributed to the dominant display. The Sharks finished 76-point victors.

The year 10 squad had their moments when they worked together as a team but South were a lot stronger physically and used the ball very well. Riley Sutherland showed that size doesn’t matter as he put his body on the line whenever he could and showed great determination for the football. Tyler Marci showed some goods signs along with Finn Gorringe as they did their best to try and counteract South’s strength. Johnny Narkle coped well in the ruck and showed some very good ground ball use for a big man. Teague Knight, Denim Ranger and Jordan Penheiro gave us some forward pressure resulting in goals which were a few positives for the 10s.

Our year 10s showed more promise in there 3^rd outing, with a number of players out due to rotations and injury. South West played good football and team work which enabled them to use the football well. At times we were second to the football which made us have to play more defensibly. Turnovers and our skills hurt us on the scoreboard which resulted in South West being a bit too strong. We can take some positives out of the game with some boys really taking it up to themselves to play different positions to help their team.

Best Riley Newton, Tyrone Papertalk and Kobi McNally.
