Redbacks Review - Round 11

Footy felt like it was back this weekend!!  Many teams returned to more normal numbers as holidays drew to a close.  

The U12s and U11s had great advantage to those that had been resting (aka sunning themselves somewhere exotic) as they enjoyed matches against touring teams from Perth on the Thursday 7 July and Saturday 10 July.  

The conditions were cold yet clear.  The grounds are soft and the boots are dirty.  Just the way we like it....

There are only 3 more rounds until we hit finals so it is time to make the most of every training session and every game.  Rumour has it that if we continue to take good wins, it is a possibility that we will have 9 teams playing finals.  There's only two words left to say "GoAshy"!!

Redbacks Review - Round 10

School holidays created havoc during Round 10 as teams were decimated of players, many lost to warmer locations!  Many of our teams invited players to 'play up' from other teams and this was a fantastic development experience for many of our players that were given this opportunity.  On some rare occasions, we were required to forfeit due to low numbers so enabling players to still get a game was a good reward for their commitment.  Opposing teams experienced the same difficulties so across the Club and League, our results were up and down.

Thanks to all the families that organised holidays around the games of Round 10 and braved the cool temps of four degrees recorded on Sunday morning at Burwood Reserve.  Frost was on our grounds and Redbackers were jumping up and down to avoid hypothermia!

Redbacks Review - Round 8

It appears that some spiders like the wet conditions and others don't!  There were some tough days at the office last weekend as we fought it out against the winter rain.  Our newest team, Colts Black, is doing a spectacular job in such a short time and last week, narrowly missed another victory.

And as it is the long weekend this coming Sunday, you can sit back, have a read and relax.   

See you on Sunday 19 June.

Redbacks Review - Round 5

We kicked off Round 5 with Friday Night Club Night.  

A visit from AFL legend, Luke Hodge, Hawthorn FC sent a wave of hysteria through our members as he joined us to present Redbacks Rising Star and Milestone Games Awards.  Red and green was mixed with yellow and brown as all the Hawks' fans came out to meet their idol.  Luke did not disappoint - he was as impressive off the field as he is on and we are thrilled he was able to be a part of our evening.

With the grading process now complete in many of our older teams, our players settle in divisions to match their abilities - sometimes we see tougher competition initially but once grades settle, we should say goodbye to white-washes and say hello to more nail-biters!
