Logan Cobras Vs Redlands Black, Under 11s

Date : 07 Jun 2008

The team got away to a very slow start and for the first half of the game they were out scored by a very well drilled Redlands team. After half time the team played the type of football we are capable of and made Redlands work hard for every possession. The backline played particularly well and all over the field the Cobras played good aggressive football to gradually work our way back into the game and we finished all over the top of Redlands.

Well done to our captain Bailey Nichols who celebrated his 50th game for the Cobras with a typically whole hearted performance. Bailey has really put his head down this season and his improved efforts at training are starting to show on match days. Congratulations to our Award winners, Dylan Sipple who never stopped running and attacked the ball hard all game and Travis Miller who also worked hard during the game. Travis has also shown more commitment to training this season and his skill level has improved greatly.

Many thanks to all of our helpers Drupal CMS, Josh Balm who handled the time keeping, John Balm who looked after First Aid, Anton and Jay who ran water, Chris Elves who was the runner and Neil Jones who was our goal umpire.

Logan Cobras Vs Coorparoo White, Under 11s

Date : 24 May 2008

Once again we jumped out of the blocks and for the first part of the game we were well on top of the opposition. We used the ball very well and created plenty of scoring opportunities for our forward line and when Coorparoo had the ball we applied plenty of pressure and forced them to make mistakes with their disposal of the football.

However once again we eased off and let Coorparoo back into the game when we stopped manning up, chasing and tackling. During the third quarter we gradually worked our way back into the game and played some of the football we are capable of and during the last quarter we were once again the dominant team on the field.

Well done team but lets try for a consistent four quarter effort from now on.

Congratulations to our Captain Jesse Longden who played a major part in our comeback during the later part of the game and well done to our award winners Blake Rhodes who worked hard and constantly won the ball and created opportunities for his team mates and to Jason Bennett who marked strongly and always used the ball well with his hand and foot passing.

Thanks to Rhys Carr who handled the goal umpiring and Todd Bone and Jay Longden who looked after the water running duties.

Logan Cobras Vs Mt Gravatt, Under 11s

Date : 17 May 2008

The team bounced away to a great start and for the first half of the game, played some outstanding team football. Every time we had the ball we used great foot and hand passing to set up numerous goal scoring opportunities. Our chasing and tackling was also first class and we constantly forced Mt Gravatt into making errors with the ball. After half time we let Mt Gravatt back into the game when we relaxed and gave the opposition too much space and allowed them to kick easy goals. However in the last few minutes we once again produced some good football to kick the last few goals of the game.

Congratulations to our captain Steven Phillips who led form the front and played an outstanding game. And well done to our award winners Hayden Sym who also played a great game and Nikita Kemenyvary who attacked every contest and worked hard to keep the ball in the forward line.

Thank you to all of our match day helpers. Jodie and Callum who ran water, Chris Kemenyvary who handled the goal umpiring and to Chris Elves who helped with the running.

The Cobras will Kick Off the Auskick 2008 season on Friday Feb 15 and will finish on the 18th April.
This years Coordinator is Ben Maxfield.

Our last game of the season and despite missing six of our regular players the boys continued to play a great style of team football. It was pleasing to see every player step up to cover for the players who were unavailable. Every player in the team has improved in all areas of the games and they all should be proud of their efforts throughout the season. For the second time this season we had co-captains in James Elves and Bailey Nichols, who both played fantastic games. James has developed into a very good player in his first season of AFL and Bailey has proven to be a valuable member of the team, who regularly takes on bigger opponents but is rarely beaten. Special thanks to under 8’s Jordan Miller and Nathan Bennett who played for us on Saturday and a big thanks to Glen Miller who handled the goal umpiring and all of the parents who made the effort to get the boys to the game on Saturday.

Congratulations to Mark Marsay who plays his 150th game for the Logan Cobras this week-end.

Mark played his first game for the club in 2000, his 50th game in 2003 and his 100th game in 2005. From his early days at the club Mark regularly played above his age group and quickly gathered a reputation for his strong, reliable style of footy. He has played at both ends of the ground with equal success and during his stint as a key defender in the under 12’s Mark earned the nick-name “The Rock” for his solid defensive work in repelling many opposition attacks.

Mark puts 100% effort into every game he plays and in more recent seasons he has demonstrated natural leadership through the way he trains and plays plus the vocal encouragement he provides to his teammates. Now in his eighth season with the Cobras, Mark enjoyed premiership success in 2006 as a key forward in the under 14’s team and, although still eligible for under 14’s in 2007, Mark chose to stick with his premiership teammates and join them in the under 16’s this season.

A great effort Mark. Be proud of your achievement and we look forward to you playing your 200th game.

V’s Redlands Grey 11-8-07
Our last home game of the year and once again the boys competed hard all day against a well balanced Redlands side. After a patchy first three quarters the boys really turned it on in the last quarter to produce our best period of football for the season. The boys in the centre continually won the ball and pumped it in to the forward line, where the forwards shared the ball unselfishly which led to easy goals for the team. On the few occasions the ball went into the Redlands forward line, our backline held firm and cleared the ball out quickly. Well done boys, lets finish the season on a positive note and keep up the good work this week against Wynnum. Congratulations to our captain Steven Phillips who played a superb game and he has taken his game to another level this season. Thank you to Wade Thomas, who handled the time keeping, Cathy Cameron, who looked after the first aid and Nathan Bennett who did an excellent job of the goal umpiring.
