Legends Round 9 Raiders V Geelong Everyone has their Everest to conquer. David had Goliath, NASA had the Moon, the Spartans had the Persians (and their damn rugs…always discounted. Fuck, don’t you wish one day you could just pay full price for a Persian rug?) Harry had Sally, Emilio Estevez and the Mighty Ducks had..well
Reserves headed to Casey fields to take on Cranbourne who have been undefeated all year We spoke pre game of accountability around stoppages and bringing effort and hardness to our game, as we needed competitive 4 qtr effort Our first half was fantastic, the boys really wanted to make a statement with strong tackling and
We had a really god win today in the in the 45s/Masters whatever we’re called. The result was never in doubt before the game even started, but the way our boys applied themselves was fantastic. Plenty of goals up at quarter time, but not moving the ball well enough into the forward line. Powelly pleaded
Reserves headed to Crib Point to take on Dingley in Rnd 8 This match was a season defining game for the reserves to keep finals hopes alive. The weather was appalling and wet weather footy and grinding out a result was required. The boys were fantastic all day and absorbed the Dingley pressure around the
Despite the arctic conditions that would see even a polar bear stay at home.. in true raiders spirit the forty fives took to the ice-skating rink they call Crib point. Our back line was as solid as an iceberg, with some of our over fifties showing the way ( Rugby Ross, Razor Ray, Terry and

Great day for the 45s today, and we won by plenty. We wore the black arm bands for our mate Army, and Lenny’s dear mum Ruth. I was worried that it would be a waste of time, and just plain miserable for the Mordy boys, but they played and battled well despite the scoreboard. We
Round 6 Legends Vs Frankston A big day. Not only Tugboats 200th game but also Ladies day at the Raiderdome. Hopes were high for a close game and a win. After we completed our brief warm up and loosened up a little..had a chat, talked about what was on the telly, swapped recipes and…. Yes…?
Great morning for the 45s. We won by plenty against a competent opponent. Probably/possibly our most impressive performance yet. Powelly told us how to roll and that’s how we rolled. First bounce C’Mack to Parksy and goal within 30 seconds, nice. That was impressive but more so was the tackling, harassing, smothers ,blocks, shepherds, punches
