Heroic Efforts

[SteveG]

Maynard's efforts continue to be heroic.

He made a Statement in the first 30 seconds, with a spirited tackle on Langdon. It was seconded by his Captain and carried by the Vice Captain.

In the last quarter, when the game was up-for-grabs (again)
Maynard came from the clouds with a Classic Shirtfront:
intentional; major impact; and brutally honest.

Just what the fans loved, admired and wanted.

^ and this is how you tackle a player that bends a knee to lower themselves ...

Yes, Maynard was heroic all day, and kicked a spearing pass to Pendles.
Yes, only Pendles (and Buckley) can kick a ball with speed to the place where a team-mate should be.
Yes, Ginnivan cleared a self-less path for Billy, who humbly put it through.

But when everyone was celebrating, with 1.42 to go,
it was the 19 year old Ginnivan who pointed the way to a half-concussed Checkers:
"Backline (Remember?)"

These, and every other effort by The Pies were heroic.
Again.

...the Nick Daicos punch towards the boundary from which Hoskin-Elliott swooped and kicked forward; then the desperate smother from Lipinski in the dying seconds...GOLD
