The AOS Development Squad Round 1 Report

The AOS Talent Development squads kicked off their first fixture against South Fremantle on Tuesday in wet and windy conditions at Fremantle Oval.

The Year 8B squad started off the day slowly and struggled for most of the game with South Fremantle’s skills being a game changer.
Goals: J. Steele and J. Carriera
Best: W. Fransden, S. Collins & C. Grant
SFFC - 9.12.66
EFFC - 2.2.14

The Year 9Bs were much the same as the previous game with our skills not being up to South Fremantle’s standard. We had a lot of the ball, but didn't use it well enough to score and the turnovers hurt us.
Goals: J. Warren & E. Neesham
Best: J. Paton, C. Farrell and J. Baleu
SFFC – 8.11.59
EFFC – 2.4.16

The 8As had an excellent game with good ball use and great run. Sam Emery and Brandon Walker showed fantastic skills and decision making throughout the game. There was excellent team play and unselfish football by the squad throughout the match.
