Scratchy win by the Devils today over Coburg Districts. 5 goals in the end and just happy to hop on the freeway and leave Cumberland Rd with the victory.
CD had a real crack and always play well at home. They have a heap of blokes of solid build, who relished the conditions. The ground was really greasy underfoot and not in great shape. To be fair, I understand it is new grass, but it did effect the match.
Elkins (7) absolutely killed us in the middle and must have had over 40 touches. He is some player and wouldn't mind seeing him in the red and white.
CD were 2 points up at 3/4 time, but we ran over them in the end and had some good efforts all round. Would say Eldridge was probably best, followed by Devlin (5 goals), Wilson and Lucas (5 goals). Also old man Craig Thomson was fantastic in the last quarter.
I don't think Heath Shephard had one possession. Phil Crea also rode the pine for most of the day. Not much in the magoos though so you have to play with what you have I guess.
Food at the canteen was all class. I had 3 hot dogs and 3 dim sims.
oooooooo wait till you taste the d/p (highly rated by me) hot dogs in the new rooms.........
they have come up a treat.........
