To all those who thought our 1st Qtr s#cked
We were at the game and at quarter time I joked with the guy sitting next to me that there was a 4 goal wind. He laughed and said there was no wind at all, however the following enventuated.
To the end we started at (North I think) a total of 5 goals 14 were kicked for the evening - including Fishers one that snuck in. This equates to 44 points - or 11 per quarter average.
To the other end 16 goals 13 were kicked for the evening - equating to 109 points or 27.25 per quarter - about 3 goals differential.
So the South end was a 3 goal advantage. I like to think Roo knew it was the scoring end - was hoping we would start fast and restrict their scoring then come home with a wet sail. Maybe that was wishfull thinking.
I am not saying it was a great quarter - but to slam the boys for their errors when 5 goals 14 was kicked by both teams to that end for the night is a little much to take........ Or am I overthinking things.
PS I also said the the guy next to me that we were home and hosed at three quarter time - coz we were coming home with the wind - and we kicked 6 to 1.
PPS I also think that a game where we kick 122% and get the 4 points - pretty - or ugly - is a good game.

Jeff - There obviously was no wind - but for some reason South was the scoring end - (except in the third when we kept pace with the Kangas) I think this is the quarter we won the game in!!!!!

Was it overcast at all? Perhaps the ball was swinging.

Wind?
All credit to the boys for coming back from a deficit. The kangas looked rooted after their win v the 'Orks last week.
