Bullant Bulletin - Round 4

Match Reports

Under 19s

The U/19.5's delivered a clinical and strong performance in Round 4, securing a 124-point victory. This win showcases the team's continued momentum as they hit the scoreboard from start to finish, powered by an impressive 24.25 goal-kicking display. Cookson again led the charge with a 8-goal haul, supported by Billy McKenzie with 4, while Squarci and Bratovic added 3 apiece to the tally.

The depth of the squad was on full display with several others hitting the scoreboard and a solid list of "best" players—including Squarci and Leggio, ensuring the opposition had no room to breathe in what was a comprehensive team effort.

Reserves

The Reserves showed great character to hit back after last week's loss, securing a hard-fought 36-point victory over the Lions. After a slowish start that saw them locked in a tight contest, the Reserves proved they were far better when they put the heat on their opponents, eventually pulling away to finish victors.

It was a much more even team performance this week, with Lucisano and Chivers leading the scoreboard with three goals apiece, while Martino, Abbey, and Cowell each chipped in with two. The defensive pressure and midfield work from best-on-ground contributors like Howard and Hildebrand ensured the side remained in control, setting a positive tone for the weeks ahead.

Seniors

The Seniors again started strong but failed to capitalise on the scoreboard during the early stages of their Round 4 clash against the benchmark of the competition. Despite some missed opportunities, the team showed great resilience to keep the game in the balance at 3 quarter time.

However, the Lions proved a bit too strong in the end, pulling away in the final term to secure the victory. Jessup led the goal kickers with 3 majors, while Haj and Simonsen were named among the best for their consistent efforts. While the result wasn't what the club hoped for, there is clearly a lot of improvement left in the team and much to take away as we look to tighten up our execution in the coming weeks.

From the President’s Desk - Greg Chivers

I just want to start with a huge shout out to our clubs medical team — our amazing trainers Lachy, Amber, Themi and Jaiaan.

They are a team within a team, the role comes with many perks, extra cash, learning some craft, and general enjoyment being part of the Bullants family. However as we know one of the downsides of Aussie Rules is injuries and some are more serious than others buts what shines through as those moments arise is their care, composure, professionalism, knowledge, and genuine concern for others, and when they have needed to they have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Thank you for everything you do for the Bullants, both seen and unseen. We’re incredibly lucky to have you in our corner.

Another huge shout out to our social media team. Every one of these fine Bullants is juggling full-time work and/or Uni or TAFE, on top of their football commitments and life outside the club. How they find the time is anyone’s guess — but they keep showing up and delivering.

As a club, we’re striving to be as professional as possible. But the reality is, so much of what you see behind the scenes — the videos, graphics, write-ups and newsletters — comes down to passionate, club-first people giving their time and expertise for nothing more than the love of the Bullants.

We don’t take it for granted.

A sincere thank you to Logan Parris, Harry Vogler, Jack Anderson, Conor Whiting, Sebastian Correa and Daniel Tonelli.

GAME DAY

Here's Senior Men's Assistant Coach Robert Schnieder's take on our day at Fairpark:

It was great to see the Under 19s winning streak roll on, and what a win by the Twos. A really tight first half in a high-standard contest, before the lads lifted to another gear after the main break and kicked away strongly — fantastic to watch.

Not our day in the Seniors. We looked really good at times, but a sustained four-quarter effort will be the key to bridging the gap on the top two. We're more than capable of doing that if we keep working on a few areas.

Thanks Rob.

And that third quarter — wow.

Seven rallying goals of scintillating team football, finished off with some sublime, clutch majors.

The Bullant faithful absolutely loved it.

Marcel Haj ruled the airways.

Gee Skipper Jack Anderson hits the footy at full pace.

Jamie Cortese is building into some serious form.

We look incredibly dangerous when the Sherrin is in Hamish McClean's hands.

Our big Bull, T. Rat, locking horns with their big bull was great viewing for the purists.

And Wattsy didn't take a backward step.

This week we’re excited to host the Doncaster Sharks. They’ll be hungry and circling for their first win, so all signs point to the beginning of a strong local rivalry.

We’re also looking forward to welcoming our Junior Club—free hot dogs for all juniors in Bullant apparel, plus some half-time entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

See you at the game.

Go Bullants!
