Great conditions for an Anzac Day clash against Wests at Picken Oval. After Anthony' Woodward's brilliant defence forces speech pre game the boys were ready to go. We started straight out of centre clearance by Dinsmore with a great goal kicked by Ben from deep forward pocket. Tackle pressure was solid early from Cooper Smith and Hugo swung onto his left for our second goal. Nick Price was in good form up forward with a kick forward, Ollie battled and won a second effort contest followed by hands to Eamon for a goal. We spread wide from defence via Leo and Zac. Dinsmore was having a great quarter and Liam soon after kicked his first goal. Bill was marking solidly down back and Noah Craven kicked well to Cooper then to Jack for a clean passage of play. Toby was punching well in the aerial contest down back and then Cooper Smith won multiple contests on centre week for a drive up forward. The quarter finished with 2 more goals - Dinsmore and Nick P for an intercept and goal. 6 goals to 2 in the first qtr. Great start. We were standing too deep at centre bounces and needed to be physically tighter to with the ground balls. Will and Eamon were winning the tap but we could improve more on our centre clearance work. 10 inside 50s, 10 tackles, 4 centre clearances. 41 points to 12. Solid.
Q2 saw more of the same. Tackle pressure was superb from Jack, Cooper and Zac. Cam and Toby were solid down back then a corridor run from Toby to Noah Dunn saw a great forward entry up to Ben. Henry was clean and strong down back, kicked to Noah Dunn, then to Dinsmore for another goal. Will then kicked to Eamon with hands over to Ben for another running goal. Sam was strong in the middle winning clearance to Dinsmore who had a dominant first half, and another goal. Noah Dunn and Ben combined to give Stref a goal. A great 2nd qtr. 15 inside 50s, 9 tackles, 3 centre clearances. Half time score was 10.10.70 to 4 goals.
Qtr 3 great tap work by Eamon to Ben with a quick kick to Dinsmore for a goal. Then came Ollies great run on the far wing for an outstanding goal from 35 out on a tough angle. Fantastic moment for him. Dinsmore and Cooper were dominant again, Dinsmore over to Ollie to Liam then to Stref. The boys were confidently playing corridor footy and moving the ball by hands and feet with precision. Henrys tackle pressure in the third was fantastic and Nick snagged another goal up forward. 9 inside 50s, 7 tackles. 13.13.91 to 4.2.26.
Q4 we continued to drive and piled on another 8 goals for the quarter. Jack had the ball on a string in the final term with forward entry after forward entry. Dinsmore kicked another snap goal from long range, Liam scored goal no 2, Leo was switched to influence No 6 as a defensive forward and found himself on the end of a great pass and kicked his first goal in many years! another magic moment. Eamon kicked a goal, and Cooper kicked another 2. A dominant display - 13 inside 50s, 10 tackles, 3 clearances.
Our boys ramped up the intensity, booting a whopping 8 goals and 1 behind. Inner West managed just a solitary behind. The final siren echoed our triumph with a colossal scoreline of 140 to 27.
Hats off to our goal-scoring maestros! Noah Dinsmore led the charge with a brilliant 5-goal haul, while Cooper Smith was not far behind with 4. Not to be overlooked, Eamon Macauley, Liam Pass, and Nicholas Price all contributed 2 goals each. Single contributions by Ben Stewart, Hugo Abe, Leo Bayliss, Ollie Oldfield, and Josh Strefner rounded off a spectacular scoring spread.

Special mention to our best players of the day: Cooper Smith's on-field leadership was outstanding, Noah Dinsmore's agility, and Jack English's tenacious play were truly commendable. Noah Dunn and Ollie Oldfield were instrumental, while Ben Stewart's forward craft efforts were invaluable.
This is a great confidence booster to our game plan strategies as we prepare for the all important home clash against UNSW next week and a couple of valuable players coming back in Josh Chapple and Jacob Lackas. Lets prepare well on the track this week fellas.
