This Weeks Game - Beaconsfield at Home |

Close Win For Seniors
The Seniors had to pull al stops out to beat a determined Cranbourne on
Sunday at Casey Fields. After kicking three goals in the first couple of
minutes the boys took there foot of and had to work hard in the end for
the victory. Danny Cassett (7) and Marc Holt (6) had a shootout and you
would have to go a long way to see two better forwards in local footy.
The Two's bounced back from two ordinary performances with a big win
over Cranny, Pete Pullen in top form kicking 10. The thirds struggled
against some pretty good opposition and the colts keep on improving with
a better game this time around against Cranny.

Patience
It's taking awhile to get everything together from the Hall of fame
dinner so you'll have to bare with me. I will set up a Legends and Hall
of Fame page (it's nearly finished) and then I will set up our
indigenous team page, while I'm on that if anyone can supply us with
photo's of the indigenous players it would be greatly appreciated, I
have a some but need more. Photo galleries of the night will take
awhile, a lot of pictures didn't come out due to the flash playing up,
but we still got plenty. The website will be down on Monday for 24 hours
as we have upgraded our hosting due to increased traffic and the site
will have to be migrated over to them. PS. How funny was Dave
Grant on Sunday, my sides still got a split in it. |

Hall of Famers and Legends
Over four hundred and fifty people attended the Doveton Football Club
inaugural Hall of Fame and Legends night as part of our Fifty Year
Celebrations at the Grand International Hotel Dandenong. As soon as you
walked in you could feel the atmosphere as old friendships were reunited
with past players, officials and supporters coming from all over
Australia gathered for the biggest show the club has seen.

Photo galleries and more to come ( it could take awhile I'm still hung over) |

Doves Have Big Win
Eight goals by Ryan Hendy led the way for the Doves to have a emphatic
win over Tooradin. We shot away to a four goal led in the first quarter
only to have Tooradin come back hard in the first ten minutes of the
second, but we booted away to go into the half time break twenty six
points up.

 Thanks to Sally Barnard we are compiling some photo albums
from the early eighties to the nineties, we will probably put together
about a dozen albums and the pictures in these albums will bring back
some great memories for a lot of people. With our celebrations this year
these photographs couldn't have come at a better time, so have a look,
have a laugh, and thanks Sal.

Cass Kicks Nine
In a game that looked over at half time the seniors had to fight
hard against a determined Berwick in the second half to get over the
line. After looking the goods in the first half we started making bad
choices in the second half, especially in the last ten minutes of the
game, playing on under pressure, handballing to teammates feet and a lot
of it came from experienced players, we are going have to pick up our
game if we are going to be there at the end of the season.

The Big game
With all the excitement of the Hall of Fame dinner I forgot about our
awesome win over the previously undefeated Pakenham. Led by an all
conquering Russell Gabriel in the ruck the boys put the game to bed by
half time and at the end of the third quarter were a massive
fifteen goals in front.

Great Day
Everybody involved in the 69 & 79 Premierships reunion on Saturday had a
terrific day, I met guys I hadn't seen in over twenty years and it was a
pleasure to meet up with them again. Some blokes just don't change, the
Sarge looks the same as he did in 79 and John Kristalyn doesn't look a
day older, Bullitt looked a million dollars and Fraz looked like he
could go a few more quarters. Benty down from Queensland, the Doc over
from Adelaide, it all goes well for the big show on the thirteenth. Well
done to Simmo and Bert for the great work there doing on putting the
whole thing together.
here are a few pictures....... |
