PRESIDENT’S UPDATE JULY 2010
Saturday 7 August
The season is now 2/3 of the way through, and after Saturday’s game
against Dodges everyone is looking forward to a weekend off with the
bye. All three sides have shown positive signs this season. It has been
particularly pleasing to see the continual improvement, in particular by
the colts and seniors. The seniors showed last week that they can compete with everyone in the competition, having a solid display and taking it
right up to New Norfolk. The reserves have been solid all season and I am
sure will get over the minor hiccup they had against New Norfolk last
week. The colts under Scotty Bester have become a solid unit and should
win more games before the season’s end.
We still have 3 home games to go and are always looking for extra help
on match days. It takes a lot of help to run the club on home games. This
includes finding bar staff, canteen staff, 4 people to man the gate, people
to sell the raffles and margin tickets and a couple of people to man the
BBQ and wet area. On top of this, on the football side we need 3 match
managers, people to man the scoreboard and time-keep in each game,
water boys, trainers, interchange stewards and at the start of each day
people to set up the ground. The day finishes off with people cleaning the
ground and clubrooms. In this context I’d like to thank those people who
tirelessly help each week, they have done a great job. If anyone reading
this letter can lend a hand for an hour or so please let me know. Extra
help is always most welcome.
Finally I’d like to wish the three sides all the best for the last part of the
season, in what we hope is a lead up to another finals campaign in each
grade.

Reserves Update
With only six roster games remaining for season
2010 I thought I would provide an update on our
season so far.
We currently sit in third spot on the ladder with
nine wins and three losses with four teams below
us with breathing down our necks.
When we are on top of our game we are very hard
to stop but we still have issues with playing four
quarters of football. We need to find some consistency before the finals start.
Last week we had a disappointing loss to New Norfolk. How we bounce back from the defeat, will
say a lot about our character and desire to play for
each other and for the Lindisfarne Football Club.
If we are to progress to the highs that I believe we
can achieve then we must all start making a sacrifice for each other on the field, off the field and on
the training track. We need to be improving and
not become satisfied or content with our season so
far.
Some players who have had a good season so far
are; Dave Smith who leads our goal kicking with 32
goals and he has been helped out by Mark Rutherford who is finding some consistent form up forward. Jeremy Pfeiffer regularly finds himself in the
best players and has shown good form for the
whole year. Ricky Batt always plays the game hard
and has grown into a leader within the team. On
regular occasions Chris Turner sacrifices his own
game to play his part for the team.
The rest of the season promises to throw some
challenges at us. We need to meet the challenges
head on and produce some good results.
Reserves Round 13 Report
On Saturday we travelled to Boyer oval to take on New Norfolk in
perfect conditions.
The Eagles jumped us early in the game and played with intensity
on their home turf and we found it difficult to find any momentum
especially up forward were we wasted some opportunity on goal
and we went into the first break chasing a four goal deficit.
To our credit we fought back into the game by playing some hard
in and under football led by Ricky 'Batty' Batt, Andrew 'Toungy'
Clarke and Matt 'Stoney' Stone and by three quarter time we were
only down by 2 points.
The last quarter was disappointing in the fact that we didn’t fight the
game out and we finished the game with a five goal loss.
Our preparation was low key and this cost us. If we are to progress
to the highs that I believe we can achieve then we must all start
making a sacrifice for each other on the field, off the field and on
the training track. We need to be improving and not become satisfied or content with our season so far.
Other players who played well were Mick ‘Micka' Hemming, who
steamed out of the backline all day and took on all that fronted him.
Mitch 'Lil' Leale also provided some smarts in the backline.
In the forward line Mark 'Rudders' Rutherford provided headaches
for the opposition and Jeremy 'Jezza' Pfeiffer scored two goals while
playing on the ball. Chris 'CT' Turner continues to sacrifices himself for the team.
Next week we are back at home to play an improving Dodges
Ferry. We need to improve on last week’s effort and get back on
the winners list.
Stay Frosty!
