Round 3 - Senior Development Match Report with Head Coach Daniel Haines

Peel Thunder Senior Development - Round 3 v Perth

PE 15.5 95    d   PT 10.13 73

A disappointing finish to the game after a promising start.  We had more inside 50's and more scoring shots than Perth but didn't capitalize on those opportunities when the game was there to be won in the third quarter.

Goals to Perth late in the quarters cost us and is something we will need to address during the bye break. Our pressure and attack on the ball was strong but the composure with the ball in hand needs to be better to give our forwards some quality supply.

Better players on the day were Chris Wrigley who played his best game for the year,  providing plenty of drive from half back/wing and finishing with a great goal from long range.  Nick Merritt finished with 4 goals and is starting to build some consistency over the last few games.  Kegan Power had plenty of the footy but was a bit wasteful going forward.   Piggott, Dean and Mathers were all solid in defence.

We will look to freshen up with the bye this week, ready to attack East Perth at Leederville next week.
