=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 2
Allies : 3.5.23
Vic Metro : 8.6.54
=====================================
A late move to get Juggs back in the forwardline betrays just how confident Metro feel as that half comes to an end. They have this championship within their graps now as they take a commanding 31 point lead into the long break. Metro just outclassed The Allies in the wet in that half, even though The Allies have been brave and have been taking it up to them. Metro clearly wanted the footy more and have kicked more goals as a result. Once again towards the end of that quarter Metro were able to enter their fifty almost at will and keep it in there to the distraction of the Allied defenders.
Freakie has three in a dominant display so far at full forward. For the Allies, their captain is still trying to rally the troops but this must be a worrying sign for him. They could barely get their hands on it in the last 8 minutes of that term. There will be much to think about in The Allies' brainstrust over the long break.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 2
Allies : 3.5.23
Vic Metro : 8.6.54
=====================================
A late move to get Juggs back in the forwardline betrays just how confident Metro feel as that half comes to an end. They have this championship within their graps now as they take a commanding 31 point lead into the long break. Metro just outclassed The Allies in the wet in that half, even though The Allies have been brave and have been taking it up to them. Metro clearly wanted the footy more and have kicked more goals as a result. Once again towards the end of that quarter Metro were able to enter their fifty almost at will and keep it in there to the distraction of the Allied defenders.
Freakie has three in a dominant display so far at full forward. For the Allies, their captain is still trying to rally the troops but this must be a worrying sign for him. They could barely get their hands on it in the last 8 minutes of that term. There will be much to think about in The Allies' brainstrust over the long break.
