Officer ROC-ing time

By Mark Gullick
A STUNNING six-goal final term slung ROC past a disappointing Keysborough by 29 points at Officer Recreation Reserve.
The Kangaroos used their blend of pace and youth to overrun Keysborough, which held a five-point lead at the final change.
The first half was an even, tight contest with ROC leading by eight points.
“Second week in a row that we’ve led at three-quarter-time and capitulated,” Keysborough coach Brad Canavan said.
“We’ve dominated both third quarters, but haven’t put the score on the board. We had really good momentum at three-quarter-time and Waata Wells kicked a goal after the siren, but we just capitulated and embarrassed ourselves again.”
Canavan has identified several issues for his team to work on.
“We had a lengthy chat after the game and looked at all our stats, and I think our biggest issue is goalkicking,” he said.
Keysborough’s better players were new recruit Joseph McClelland, the consistent David Prib, Anthony Brannan, Ben Hoskin, and Tyson King through the midfield.
