MSJFL B&F Award
Congratulatons to Kurt Lopo on his joint 2nd placing in the U11E MSJFL B&F award. Kurt shared 2nd place with Nick Edward from Caulfield with Mitch Clark from South Melbourne the winner. Well done Kurt on another great season for Mordi-Brae!
From the Coach’s Corner
The Preliminary Final was the tough, hard game that we expected from East Sandringham but we slowly worked our way into it and pulled away in the 2nd half to record a comfortable victory.
Congratulations to all the boys for making the Grand Final in U11 East. It is a fantastic achievement to have finished in the top 2 then make the Grand Final in the top division of the age group. It shows that we have played good consistent football throughout the season.
We now get another opportunity to play Caulfield and prove that the 2nd Semi Final result was an abberation and not how we want to remember this season. If every boy puts in 100% effort at all times then there is no doubt that we can reverse that result in the Grand Final.
Code of conduct
Unfortunately for our club, there have been more instances of inappropriate behaviour (senior supporters and an official), which have resulted in MBJFC copping a fine. While we know all our supporters are being careful about adhering to the league and the club's code of conduct, we must remind you all of the following:
(1) ONCE TEAMS LEAVE THE ROOMS AND ENTER THE ARENA, ALL TEAM OFFICIALS KEEP THERE MOUTHS SHUT TILL THE QUARTER/HALF TIME BREAKS.
(2) PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME IN A SPORTSMAN'S-LIKE FASHION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES AND RESPECT UMPIRE'S DECISIONS WITHOUT QUESTION.
(3) SPECTATORS KEEP COMMENTS POSITIVE AT ALL TIMES OR SAY NOTHING AT ALL.
(4) IMPORTANTLY FOR EVERYONE - HAVE SOME FUN ALONG THE WAY REGARDLESS OF THE RESULT.
Your support in making our club one of the best in the league is much apprecaited.
Ladder Information
If you have logged onto the MSJFL website then you may notice a difference in the percentages with the ladder produced for the weekly newsletter handed out at training. This takes into account the MSJFL percentage mercy rule for U11’s, where percentage is only calculated up to 60 point margins. The MSJFL website currently shows the percentage based on the actual final scores for each game.
Carpark Safety
Please be aware when driving in an out of the Walter Galt carpark, that there maybe players retreiving balls from the carpark area.
