INVERLOCH-KONGWAK went into their Saturday game against second spot Phillip Island hoping for a four-quarter effort but could not prevent a third term Bulldog onslaught in an 81-68 loss.
The away side had started the game well, only trailing to the Dogs by four points at half-time, but lost their structure in the third quarter.
\u201cTo beat the best teams like Phillip Island we have to maintain our structure and meet their physicality,\u201d coach Tom McQualter said.
\u201cWe dropped our structure when they kicked a couple in the third term, which isn\u2019t much, but it\u2019s enough against a quality side.\u201d
Although the Island started behind, their third quarter run, led by Cameron Pederson who did a bit of everything, was enough to give them a healthy 21-point lead at the final break.
Pederson did not have his usual big impact, but his two goals and consistent pressure were valuable in his side\u2019s win.
\u201cI thought our big guys did a good job of somewhat limiting the influence of Pederson where they could,\u201d coach McQualter said.
\u201cI also thought Corey Casey was fantastic; he had around 15-20 tackles on the inside and worked hard.\u201d
Casey was indeed a significant part of his team\u2019s positive play throughout the game, helping the midfield stay competitive and giving his team a chance to get back into the final term.
Fast play and ball use out of the middle gave target men like Van Driel and Hawking chances they took, managing to reduce the full-time lead to 13 points.
While Pederson and his PI teammates were too hard for the Sea Eagles to overcome, coach McQualter is satisfied with his team\u2019s performance and confident going forward.
\u201cThey\u2019re the reigning premiers and despite the loss I think this was our best performance of the year,\u201d he said.
\u201cI don\u2019t think we need to change much; we\u2019ll continue to back our players and structures heading into next game.\u201d
The Sea Eagles will take on the Industrials next round, a good chance to get back to winning ways.
Phillip Island will take on fifth spot Bunyip, which should be a blinder. <\/p>\n
