The Whites took a giant stride towards securing the prestigious wooden spoon in only their first season on Saturday with a magnificent display of confusion, hesitation and complete ineptitude against their closest rivals. The talk before the game was of possible capitulation, following last week’s draw against the Crows a potential win was on the cards which would surely of handed the spoon to Uni. But the Whites were never going to let this phase them and all but secured the soon with 4 games to spare as they put together their most disjointed lacklustre performance of the season, easily underperforming Uni who could do nothing about the 6 goals Whites let in to see their chances of a spoon slip away.
After 2 point blank saves from stand in keeper Doug, the Whites got into the their stride and shipped 3 goals in the opening 9 mins. Moments later returning defender Dave, back after a 3 week break showed that his haircut had done nothing to affect his skills and effortlessly gave away his 3 penalty of the season......4-0 inside 10 mins....game over.
The remaining 80 mins raced by as both teams harrumphed their way around the pitch, abusing the ref, the opposition and each other in perfect rotation. The linesman, who had set his own personal best for punching the most number of consecutive cones only minutes before the game started, came in for some abuse as the game and most likely significant parts of his life seemed to pass him by in red-eyed haze.
Final score 6-1
With only 4 games left, 3 of which are against opponents with a chance of making the top 4 the Whites look destine to battle it out with Saint Kilda form the AFL to be the first team in Aussie history to finish the season with a perfect record.....4 more defeats seem to well within our sights.
The biggest challenge facing the club now is how to hold on to the talented squad that has set this season on fire. As the whites hit rock bottom and start digging rumour has it that the local mining firms are keen to secure the services of the squad for a particularly tough line of stone 1km below sea level.
Next game – away against Russell Vale....god help us!

ReplyDeletepredict the most likely outcome!
I would like to say RV 0 Whites 4, but more likely RV 6 Whites 2.
ReplyDeleteThe maroons can thank the whites at the end of the season when they make 4th place 1 point ahead of Bally after we held them to 1-1.
