Slamtown

Thursdays game saw the Heroes take the line against the big shooting slamming flatballers from the coast.
After last weeks lack lustre performance, the green machine came out with a strong will to bring the intensity and when we got a turn over on the first point from a (insert) wayward stef throw, we capitalised and put in the end zone for 1-0. Then throughout the first half the game was relatively even with slamtown breaking us to take a 2 point lead at half. However the difference between the two teams was the initial pull on the point. I cant remember how many times we turned the disc over in our own half (and endzone) because of a great pull and chase, clamming us inside the endzone with our stack not realising it, and being to deep. With Adam out our handling line was a bit weaker and the gold coast zone worked well for the most part. BUT as soon as we broke that cup, I think slamtown will agree we walked all over them to score freely (for those 7 times.. ) But still and yes this sounds lame the score line didnt reflect how hard the game was played, with our game finishing last of the three and with one memorable 10min point. On a positive note defensively we didnt let the orange 'shooters' loose and kept the D fairly tight all evening. As soon as we stop shooting ourselves in the foot with dumb turnovers (myself included) Heroes will start putting wins on the board.
As ever this season theres no 'easy' games with most teams being able to turn up on their day and win. Next week is no different when Heroes vs the well lubricated machine that is Dojo Mojo.
Memorable moments for the game was Ye Old brown town connection being ever sweet as usual. OH AND... James getting skied by probably the shortest man in the league, Danny. Well done dan. In comparison its like thisguy in red beating this guy in blue (wait is that a Red Vs Blue reference!?!)
