Thunder Down The Demons
Round 13, Perth v Peel
Bendigo Bank Stadium, Saturday 27 June 2015
Perth 1.2 5.4 6.5 8.8 56
Peel 4.4 7.8 14.12 17.16 118
Peel Thunder continued their impressive form this season with a comfortable win over a disappointing and undermanned Perth side in fine conditions at Bendigo Bank Stadium on Saturday.
It was the Thunder that kicked the first goal through former Demon Gerald Ugle in the opening minutes. Peel was well in control early on with regular Fremantle Dockers Zac Clarke, Paul Duffield and Tendai Mzungu all combining well in the centre of the ground.
The home side made good use of the breeze in the opening term and took an advantage of 20 points into the quarter time break after kicking 4 goals 4 to Perth’s 1 goal 2.
The second term saw Perth slowly work their way back into the match through the hard work of Adian Tropiano and Liam McKenna, who were picking up important touches in the midfield. Perth managed a couple of goals through Brennan Stack and Mitch Morton, who were both lively up forward, however Peel steadied close to half time through Matthew Taberner and former Perth Colt’s player Max Duffy to lead by 16 points at half time.
The second half really saw Peel ascertain their ascendancy on the match with a significant height advantage over their opponents all over the ground. Perth could only score one goal for the term while the Thunder pilled on 7 goals to set up a commanding lead at the final break.
The last quarter saw Perth certainly fight the match out with Brent Latch along with both Tropiano and McKenna in the thick of the action but once again scoring options were few and far between with Peel well on top in the back line.
The final winning margin of 62 points was certainly disappointing for Perth fans with the side lacking a considerable amount of height with both their regular ruckman in Christian Eyres and Ben Power still out injured.
The usual suspects played well for the Demons with both Tropiano and Mckenna continuing their outstanding form in the midfield, however as has been the case all season Perth lacked key marking targets up in their forward line.
Next week Perth has a bye and then returns home to Lathlain Park to play the Falcons.
Goals: Stack 2, Morton, Chester, Tropiano, Payne, Collard, White 1.
Best: Tropiano, McKenna, Latch, O’Sullivan, Borrett, White.
