JONTY: It was a traditional winter’s Saturday...
DAVE: Excuse me, it’s not winter yet. JONTY: I’m going to ignore that interruption Dave..
.where you needed your coats on the weekend, but there was some good footy played across the region. I’ll start with you Marcus, what was your best action? MARCUS: A few weeks back, Dave highlighted two screamers that Garfield took within five minutes of each other; well this week, we had the same thing with two Kangaroos leaping high.
DAVE: OHHHH, like it. MARCUS: First we had Riley Perkins take a ‘Jesaulenko..
.you beauty’ hanger as far as getting your knee up on the shoulder of the opposition; good elevation, decent hang time and a heavy fall. And a few minutes later, his teammate Riley Wierzbicki came from four deep in a pack.
He’s a tall fella so he got his arms up high and took it at the highest point. He went over the ruck for Gembrook-Cockatoo, Paddy Snoxell. Unfortunately, he missed the shot at goal but those two marks were definitely the high points at Officer.
DAVE: My best action this week goes to an old-fashioned ruck from Olinda Ferny Creek. He wears his socks up and looks like he’s come straight out of the 1960s. Olinda jumped Pakenham on the weekend and Josh Wallis, six minutes into the game, does a Tom Hawkins; he pushes his opponent out of the way, grabs the ball out of the ruck and snaps it over his shoulder.
It was probably the highlight of his season. He’s not an overly skilled player but it was a skilf.
