Another Game Through Our Fingers


After three narrow losses, this game was one to make amends.  Back at home and against a Wollongong side we had beaten in our past three encounters.

Knowing not to expect a win, we played hard aggressive footy and dominated the first half.  A few minor lapses kept the opposition in the hunt but we comfortably led by 18 points at half time.

A warning to our players at halftime not to be complacent as the Lions would coming out firing after the major break.
Unfortunately, we did not listen to this - a 5 goal to 1 term led to a 10 point deficit into the final term.

Although we managed to take the lead twice in the last quarter, it was our opposition who finshed the stronger.

Nobby O'Brien was our best finishing with five majors.  His perserverance at training paid by his kicking accurately in a match.  Our tall timber in Dusty Miller and Janis Blums consolidated their good form and selection in the representative squad.

The last month has been one of lost opportunity.  Even if we managed to win one of the 4, we would be sitting just out the 5.  In time we will learn to win these close encounters.  Within the club culture we have made significant gains and now need to learn kill off an opponent whether it be in the first 10 minutes or scrap to the final siren.

On a positive note, it was not long ago that we were losing to teams like Sydney Uni and Norths by 100 points.

For the remainder of the season we must continue working on the processes that have put us in winning positions. Consecutive wins is a goal for the remainder of the year with an opportunity to jump to places on the ladder this week against St George.

See you at the game.

Call To Arms - Help Us Tackle Cancer PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 30 June 2009 16:42

Give cancer the kick

Australian sportsmen are encouraged to join Call To Arms during July to help tackle their toughest opponent – cancer.

Call To Arms is Cancer Council’s annual national event to raise funds and awareness of cancer, a disease that effects 1 in 2 men by age 85.

Sporting clubs are invited to participate by nominating a day in July to hold a Call To Arms match where players wear a yellow armband in a show of support to men who have survived cancer, those currently facing the cancer fight and to remember mates who have lost their lives to cancer.

Clubs are encouraged to run fundraising activities on the day or throughout the month and donate to Cancer Council. All funds raised through Call To Arms go towards helping to prevent cancers in men, finding new treatments and funding support programs for men in need.

While Call To Arms is primarily a chance for local sporting clubs to rally together, many professional clubs, such as co-founders, Essendon Football Club, along with Adelaide Crows, West Tigers, Adelaide United FC and Socceroos star, Tim Cahill, have joined the Cancer Council’s 2009 Call To Arms campaign.

Call To Arms is a great way for men to get involved in the fight against cancer and to help save the lives of men facing cancer across Australia.

Every day 171 men in Australia are diagnosed with cancer. The reality is, it could be your father, your brother, your husband, your son or your best mate.

To help the Balmain Dockers support the Call to Arms you can donate money using the following link:


Call To Arms was launched in Victoria in 2007 with founding partner Essendon Football Club to support team-mate Adam Ramanauskas in his fight against cancer. Players wore yellow armbands in the inaugural Clash For Cancer AFL match against Melbourne Football Club. The match has since become an annual game between the Bombers and the Demons.

Even though the scoreboard didn't show it on Sunday - going down by over 100 points against a very good side, Macquarie University - the boys put in a very good effort. Macquarie University dominated the first quarter kicking 9 goals to our 1 however the boys didn't drop their heads and came back in the 2nd to be more competitive. They lifted again and out scoring them 3 goals to 1 in the 3rd quarter, then Macquarie University were too good in the last quarter running away with the game.

Once again our side changed dramatically with four players up forward playing their first games for the season. Under 18's coach Glenn Fowler playing half forward and centre gave us plenty of run and drive. Big Adam "Hopper" Coles and Elliott Styles gave us the targets we've been missing all year and I'm sure they'll get better with each game. Also 1st game for the club for Jason King, the coach from the woman's AFL Newtown side, doing a very good tagging role with Neale Merrick in the second half. Also back in the side after a four week holiday was Eden Bennell taking a lot of strong marks across half forward, it's good to have him back in the side.

Best players on the day were Glenn Fowler, Jason Fretwell, Paul Di Vito, Eden Bennell, and Elliott Styles.

Next Saturday we play UTS at Trumper Park. With a full strength side and 3-4 key players coming back this week we will be a much more competitive side then the last time we met UTS and, I'm confident we can beat them this time round, I know the boys are hungry for a win.

Over the last seven rounds all our games have been very close in First grade with 2 wins and 5 losses to show for it. If only it was the other way around, which it could have been! This has been both disappointing and frustrating but shows that we are now a competitive team who can’t be taken lightly. The team needs to re-group this week and give it all against the St George Dragons, who are always a tough opposition to crack. It was good to see the continued good form of James Miller and Janis Blums on the weekend and we congratulate them on their Representative Squad selection. Nick O’Brien is also hitting his straps together with Daniel Napper.

The Ressies had a tough time against Macquarie Uni but never gave up and it was only in the last quarter that the scoreboard really got away from them. This was a much improved effort with a high turnover of players making the team bonding even more difficult. Stick at it guys and enjoy your footy!

The U18’s had a real turn around from their previous encounter with Wollongong when they were smashed by over 120 points some weeks ago. The boys lead at half time on the weekend and just couldn’t sustain the pressure and run against the talented Lions. A very good performance from our boys, they should be proud of their efforts – we were!!
Some wins would be nice; let’s stick to the task and stay positive – go Dockers!!
