After getting over the Western Region Football League back in March this year, six of the Eastern Football Leagues finest took to the field wearing the Big V on Sunday as Vic Metro took on AFL Queensland. Lead by seven goals from Norwood forward Leigh Williams, Metro kicked away to an early lead and never looked back on-route to an 84 point win over AFL Q. Shayne Allan (Noble Park) and Rhett Jordon (Norwood) also managed to get on the board both kicking majors. Understandably Williams was named Best on Ground for Vic Metro following his seven goals, Norwood teammates Matt Aver and Rhett Jordon were also amongst the best for the Vic’s.
Report from AFL Queensland:
On paper, Vic Metro was filled with individual champions. Today, they played like a champion team.
The task was never going to be easy for Queensland, as the Victorian’s came out and showed how deep their talent pool runs.
Queensland won the toss and kicked with the wind, knowing they needed to start well against the big V.
No stranger to big games, it was Robbie Copeland that got the scoring underway for Queensland, and was he pumped up.
McHarg showed his footy smarts in his first set shot for goal, with a low bullet from 45, not allowing the wind to be a factor, getting the Victorians on the board.
It was a hot footy early, but once the dust settled, Victoria seemed to have a lot more time and space than Queensland.
They weren’t rushed, they used the footy well, and pulled the trigger quickly when required. It was good footy.
Williams bobbed up to kick his first two, and give Victoria Metro a 28-point advantage at the break…
