Hello C - Bombs,
Had the pleasure of being invited down to the Gordon Barnard Reserve Canteen for some pregame fare. Nice coffees.
Certainly more spectator friendly down at Wellerland than in years gone by. The new stadium and scoreboard a big improvement from the dark days of years gone by.
The game started slowly with one goal each for the first 20 minutes and then OGGS went bang bang. Little Corney who was fab all day kicked truly, followed by a solid grab from ex Uni Blue big boy Sheridan. A sling tackle to Josh Holding who then kicked true, got one back for the Wellers and it was 2.4 to 3.1 at quarter time. OGGS by 3. The Wellers were dominant other than on the scoreboard, and apart from those 2 goals in two minutes, looked the better team.
Geelong kicked the first of the second term, and then the first signs of the Nick Adamson show began to surface. Bang..goal. Hensby smothered a ball, grabbed it, snapped it and goaled, before winning the ball a few moments later and hitting Latsas lace out for another Weller goal.
Halftime and Camberwell lead 5.5 to 4.4
At the start of the third quarter, the mighty hoops had the ball in their forward area, right in front of their dugout, but couldn’t convert. As often happens, when the Wellers finally went forward, they were the ones to score. Percy was starting to make his presence felt on ball and around the ground. Holding goals, Adamson goals and then Nick goals again. He was huge.
The Wellers went into the final huddle with a 27 point lead.
The final quarter starts and the Oggs need to get a move on. Bird is tackled high right in front and gets the first for the hoops. Then Long goals and things are getting tighter. Enter Nick Adamson who marks strongly and coverts in a real show of strength.
After this, both teams swap goals till the final siren, with the game never in doubt. Corney, Maiden and the Hoev for the hoops and Dalrymple and Latsas for the winners.
Great game, played in a great spirit. Umpires were spot an as per usual.
I gave 3 votes to Nick Adamson. He was a beast. Strong overhead, great kick, loves a don’t argue and is a bull entering the pack. Was incredible. Geelong had no answer to him.
2 votes to the big blonde bombshell Percy from Camberwell. He was fantastic. The Wellers dont have many talls, so he is often a one man band rucking. Continually smashing the ball out of the ruck 20 metres forward. Geelong used 2 or 3 up against him, but none of them had his aggression or desire for the hard contest.
I split the one vote to little Corney from OGGS who ran, tackled and tried hard all day. Great hands. A one touch player. Nippy!
And also Hensby from the Wellers who was great all day. A real leader.
Loved the game. Think the Wellers are destined for finals action on what I saw today. Go C Grade!
Cheers Hippster..
Funnily enough I was at OI v Penninsula.
Tough seeing Peninsula getting out of the bottom two.
OI will be ruing the Marc and OG loses.

FWIW assuming this occurs, is this the 3rd/4th year in a row that a team would do the double drop from B to D? Shows there isn't a lot of difference between the bottom half of B and the majority of C.
