What a great day, and what a fantastic performance by the Crocs on Sunday. The boys showed the spirit and determination that the boys with the green socks have always shown over the last 25 years!

Kicking with the wind in the first quarter our boys were a little wasteful in front of the big sticks and came in at the first break with 6 behinds and no goals. To make matters worse the Allstars were able to kick 2 valuable goals into the wind. Fair to say that the OM’s came out with a bit of confidence in the 2nd and the Crocs defence was put under immense pressure. The opposition added another 3 goals, but kicking 2 goals into the wind gave the boys a lot of confidence going into the major break.

The third quarter is often called the premiership quarter and it was critical that we put on some scoreboard pressure and created a decent 3 quarter time gap. 4 goals 4 to no score was a great effort, but would it be enough to hold the Grammarians.

The Crocs kicked an early goal, then another. Their confidence was up and the ball was successfully repelled from the opposition forward line a couple of times. Corcs kicked a snapped goal, and when Silky ran into an open goal and pumped it through it was all over.

 A 5 goal to 1 last quarter, kicking into the wind was the stuff of legend. How much of an effect did Roos’ bombshell have on his troops, and was it the difference? No-one will ever know.

What will be known for evermore is that the Crocs are the 2010 Club XVIII Premiers!
