Roley ventured to Mundijong at the unusual time of 1 pm and on a windy and occasionally wet afternoon did battle. A few late and a couple of non-arrivals required some changes on the field however the boys adjusted quickly.

Due to the rain and wind, the ball was difficult to mark and often went over the back of packs. Jake Spanjers gained many early possessions and put on some good midfield tackling pressure. The midfielders played intelligently remaining across the half forward line and rebounding the ball any time it came out of the forward line. Eric Mitchell was again very solid across half back crashing the packs and sending the ball forward again. The first quarter was a 3 goal to 1 result for Roley.

The Kardinya Kats made the trek ‘all the way up the hill’ to play the Roley 12s for the first time in 3 seasons. They were greeted by a friendly warm autumn day and confronted by a desperate Tigers looking to atone themselves.

The tone was set within the first minute with Jake Spanjers rebounding off the half back line and Eric Mitchel’sl bulldogging, resolute defence. The first fore into the forward line resulted in a goal from Jayden Batley following a desperate tackle. Jackson Morfitt chimed in with two first quarter goals following good solid overhead marks and long shots. Mark Fraser appeared to be everywhere gathering many possessions around the midfield. Riley Gibbons knocked the ball forward in the ruck to set up several attacking passages, and he threw his body into contests protecting his team mates and clearing a path for them.
