Fitzroy vs De La Salle

by Andrew Needham | Sep 2, 2023

De La Salle vs Monash Blues

by Andrew Needham | Jul 8, 2023

Conditions were intimidating. Sunny, but with a 5-6 goal blustery wind favouring the John O’Halloran scoreboard end, to which DLS were kicking. As so often happens to a team kicking with the “aid” of a very strong wind, we blasted away, scoring 5 behinds before Adrian...
