Coley said before the game that we wouldn't be bossed by their big players as we would keep possession away from them. So what did we do? Hoof the ball in the air for most of the first half! Macc did a Stanley on us and chased, harried and defended from the front to deny us time on the ball. In the second half we got our passing game going at last, but after going ahead we hoofed possession away against the 10 men in the final seconds, Jacobsen attempting a ridiculous, over-hit cross field pass when he should have turned and played it along the back line. 2 points thrown away, although were honestly flattered by the score at 1-2. Joyce, Proccy and Gornell were the pick for me. I had better not mention my special bete-noir though, missing 3 good chances and giving the ball away like there was no tomorrow as usual.
