Coach’s Report: Rampage vs. Melbourne Ducks – Round 8

The week off gave us some time to reflect on results over the past few rounds as well as some recovery time for our injured teammates, most of which will be re-joining the squad this weekend.

We now head to Melbourne to face off against the league leading ducks and start our run into the finals.

The last time we travelled south to face the Ducks we split the weekend and since then both teams have only recorded a single victory. The goal this weekend is to obviously take maximum points but I’m sure the Ducks will also be looking to re-establish themselves as the team to beat, so I expect these games to be intense in every aspect.

Plan for this weekend is to focus on things we can control. If we play our own game and stay within our systems I can’t see any team in this league beating us. When we stray from this we find ourselves chasing and results haven’t been great.

With only six games remaining this season, time is running out to secure a spot in the finals. Everything has lined up for a very exciting run into the playoffs and I can’t wait to see things unfold over the next few weeks.

Team list for this weekend is:

• Derry Adler
• Harley Anderson (C)
• Josh Anderson (A)
• Jon Bale 
• Anthony Barnes
• Marco Bertossa 
• Liam Cedro
• Jack Connor
• Nick Jones
• Nick Novysedlak
• Milan Novysedlak
• Anthony Santilli
• Owen Sobchak
• Jordan Smith
• Stefan Speck (A)
• Jakub Terc
• Lachlan Young
