IT WAS fourth versus 11th on the MGFNL ladder, but it was always thought to be a much closer clash than what the ladder suggested.
The Demons had been on the wrong side of too many matches that could have gone either way, and were desperate to turn their season around against the home ground Kangaroos.
What unfolded however, was Boolarra’s biggest loss of the season and perhaps Fish Creeks’ most impressive win.
“A really positive performance from the team. A solid four quarter effort with everyone playing their role. We now have a big game against what looks like the dominant team for the year and then a well-earned bye,” Jarrod Walker, Fish Creek coach.
As Fish Creek have impressed, slowly building a formidable team that looks likely to be able to match any in the competition, the “mojo” just hasn’t been there for the Demons in 2023.
The closeness of the competition means that Boolarra are far from being out of the picture, but in reality, they will need to find winning form sooner rather than later, and in the week ahead they meet a side in much the same position, Mirboo North.
