K Rock football | Anglesea coach Jordan Keras has revealed he wasn’t concerned when his team found themselves facing a deficit heading into half-time of Saturday’s clash with Barwon Heads.
Trailing by nine points as the players headed to the sheds after cutting the margin from 13 at quarter time, Keras was content with the Roos’ position despite some first-half inaccuracy.
That level of confidence proved to be on the mark when the home team produced arguably its most crucial quarter of the season, kicking five goals to one to build a 16-point buffer at the final change.
Consecutive goals to Anglesea Simon Umbers and Will Batson as the final term approached its half-way mark pushed the margin to 30 points, with the final score landing at 12.15 (87) to 9.11 (65).
“This year’s been just a really typical pattern for us, where we’ve had more inside 50s, we’ve owned more territory for big parts of games, and we just have not been able to put it on the scoreboard, and we’re kicking a lot of points early in games,” Keras said.
“We rely a lot on our pressure and our fitness, as we’ve spoken about for the last couple of years, and we knew at a game like yesterday that it’s which team battles it out for longer.
“We were pretty confident that we were going to have their measure in that area.”
