Sam (300 club games) Williams was in everything early, but his 2 set shorts just fell short for rushed behinds. DLS seemed overwhelmed by the importance of the occasion, and consequently did not make the most of numerous opportunities. A place in the finals was at...

DLS started smartly, controlling possession, but unable to score. Behinds were kicked from play which demanded better! Somehow, out of a pack near the HFF, Christian Algeri goaled with a fine snap at the 8 minute mark. Then the heavy rain came! With the conditions...

In perfect playing conditions, we failed again to come to terms with the situation at Williamstown oval. Missing key players from last games’ team, in Adrian Indovino, (hand injury at least 2 more games), Liam Wood (Knee maybe season), Christian Algeri (Ill) and Jack...

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...

DLS scored early with Indovino goaling from 15m out. Play swung between defences, until Algeri, goaled from the forward pocket ruck scramble some 23 minutes in. Ajax quickly responded & with their 2nd, directly from the centre clearance, scores were equal at...

Wind very strong & favouring the old Dairy Bell end to which we were kicking. Effective tap by Sean Fisher & clearance saw Jake Williams streaming towards goal, but unfortunately his kick went wide. DLS was dominating play, but could not impact on scoreboard....

On the big Beaumaris ground, with a wind that was gale force at times, the game was a tough contest with DLS kicking to the end most favoured by the cross wind. Indeed, it was 16 minutes, before we registered our 1st score, a goal from backman turned forward Nathan...

Game started in good footy conditions with ground good apart from the cricket wicket area bog! Josh Cumberlidge, hard at it as usual, goaled with an out of pack snap with game in progress for under a minute. Sean Fisher’s fine running goal from distance, at the 3...

Despite DLS having more of the play, Williamstown scored first at the 3 minute mark. Sean Fisher was doing well in his new ruck role, giving plenty of support to our on ballers, at the centre bounce. Luke Lloyd, created great excitement when he broke several tackles...
