cheque (not a bad return considering a new Ford XT 500 Sedan was selling for $1980.00).
Speaking in Cliche, A week is a long time in footy, and we went from chocolates to boiled lollies, because footy is played 90% between the ears.
2 rounds ago, the Seniors had on of the best wins in recent history, knocking off a red hot Mt Eliza who is tipped to be one of the 2 teams to beat this year as the challenge for the flag. The Young Langwarrin side came out and played Hard, fearless contested footy and showed a never say die attitude and won the game by 1 goal. The feeling after the game was electric. Fast forward 7 days and the display dished up against Pines, couldn't have been further away from the level of footy the boys are capable of. They were sluggish, lazy and showed no respect to their opponents. failing to follow instructions saw Pines skip away to a match winning lead by half time. After some home truths and a good old fashion bake from the coach,
Iit was a different side that came in the second half. More accountable and direct footy saw Pines key players go out of the game, and Langwarrin got on top with some solid work from Haddley Tommichael, Matt Tedge, Andy Taylor, Dylan Bosward and u/18 Andy Johnson. Langwarrin won the last qtr cutting the lead to 4 goals, but the damage was done. The disappointing issue is that in 5 or 10 minutes of play, we see that the side is capable of playing great footy that will match it with the best sides. The problem is that this young side can't maintain that for 4 qtrs. The quicker they learn and understand the demands of senior footy in this competition the sooner we will see the Langwarrin Footy club winning more than they lose.
The Twos are essentially mirroring the form of the seniors, with great games followed by poor periods of matches resulting in missed opportunities. Pressure and commitment will go along way in today's game.
The 18's and Colts continue to provide a bright future for the club. The colts had a massive win in fairly wintery conditions out at Beaconsfield, and the 18's had a percentage booster keeping Pines Scoreless. Both teams will be up the pinty end of the ladder and feature heavily in September providing a great future for the club.
A big test in all grades this week against Frankston YCW will show everyone where we're at. Good Luck See you back at the club for a drink.
