ROUND 7: UPDATE

10th June 2007

Round 7 was a massive weekend for the OMFC. The seniors and reserves faced a strong Old Geelong while the 19's faced third placed Ormond AFC. The reserves started of proceedings against the team they beat in last years Reserves Grand Final. Old Geelong were out to get revenge against the panthers, but the panthers didn’t let OG run over them, the game was neck and neck until OG got a couple goals ahead in the final quarter, but the panthers clawed back to make the scores even. With some great defence in the dying seconds from the backline OMFC were able to secure 2 points with scores being dead even. The seniors were next, having won 5 in a row, they were keen to make it 6. With a well earned break at Nachos Cantina on Tuesday, the boys were pumped to get off to a flyer, 8 goals in the first quarter saw the panthers up by 6 goals at the first break. Old Geelong did not give in however, kicking 8 goals to 2 in the second half. Gareth 'Snoz' Snow was again on fire, Anthony 'Chicken' Palmer was pure elegance all day while  Jakey Moon continues to show his sublime talents in the forward line. The final minutes of the game had OG in front by 3 points, with the ball driven into the OMFC's forward line, David 'Cocky' Cochrane was able to take what could be considered mark of the year and convert the 6 pointer to put the panthers in front by 3 points. The 19's were up against another top team in Ormond. With a more than disappointing game at Oakleigh the week before, the young pups were keen to make amends. With a tough opening quarter, OMFC gained the lead in the second quarter with 6 goals to 4. With Matthew 'Staggas' Campbell back to his best and the year 11 schoolboys dominating, namely Mitchy Brown, Jarryd Allan, Keiffer Smith-Cameron, Mike Myers-Synders and Jamie Brohier, the panthers were able to run over Ormond, eventually running out victors by 29 points. Mitch 'Kiblet' Kibby was again amazing in the middle, with the comeback kid Simon O'Halloran dominating in his first game back for the panthers since last years Grand Final.
