Reds announce that they're the team to beat.

[Mobbs]

The Fitzroy reds made an imposing statement on Saturday.

After struggling to shake off an inspired last quarter comeback from Bentleigh/South Oakleigh/Patterson/Coatesville Demons AFC, the team climbed the stairs of the old stand, stood behind the 'Mighty Fitzroy Reds' banner, and hurled out the team song unto all below them.

While some may have labelled this quirk as the markings of the VAFA's most prominent media tarts (me? of course not!), it seemed to be an announcement of challenge. One could have read between the lines : Bentleigh (/South Oakleigh/Patterson/Coatesville), you are beneath us. We're up here. That's where we are. You look like ants down there.

The pride, and perhaps a little arrogance, of the reds, are quickly helping to make them known as a, nay THE, most formidable power in football today.

'tis grouse.

it;s a beauty.

With St. john's the only remaining undefeated side and they had a battle with Elsternwick yesterday it's all looking good for the finals.

Although we did win and were very convincing during the second quarter, we still didn't dominate the match. Bar the woeful kicking at goal by Bentleigh we could have lost. Though this may be the wake up call have the demolition of UHSOB the previous week to remind the boys that it will not be a cake walk all year.

The hiccup we had to have?
