Mernda awful the first 15 mins of the game and last 15 mins of the game, in between should have been(with all the play they had) 6-7 goals in front by 3/4 time, terrible kicking for goal and no pressure either,will be at the next game between these two sides should be more definitive contest
Mernda weren't awful, they were simply outclassed. Panton Hill rose to the occasion and they played better football. In other words... Panton Hill wanted it more, they were hungrier.
Mernda do seem however to play through No.9 all the time, and that is easy to be coached against, Mernda had a few players running down on their own, yet players just kicked it to No.9...
Rohan Davies, our captain. Had a good game, as did Reesy. Millsy was wasteful in the forward line but on another day would have had a bag.
Haydock was very good, his setting up goals from the backline was a joy to watch, and to see PH follow the set play on this was great to see,Mernda rely on their quickness whilst PH's aerial dominance was a tallying factor in the result.Mernda need to rotate their midfielders more frequently as well.
Yes Panton Hill just had too big bodies for us, and that helped them win. All in all though it was a cracking game of football, shame there had to be a loser.
