Umpires Sleep and Clayton were in charge a slight breeze favoured the school end.

Both sides attacked early in the first quarter Daly score the ‘Pies first, he would go on to kick four goals for the game to be a consistant source of annoyance to Roopena.

His partner in crime Prokopec would engage in a contest with Roopena defender Kane Grund.

The big full forward would boot six goals and spend the last quarter on the bench, he would take the honours over his opponent, but Grund wore him like a glove.

By quarter time the ‘Pies had grabbed a three goal lead, it was obvious Roopena were struggling to find winners up forward North were rock solid in defence lead by Wohling who would go on to be north’s best player.

The second quarter started with a goal flurry for the ‘Pies, one goal to Medlin and two goals to Prokopec had the Roos reeling.

North were skirting the packs and meshing as a team, Josh Trezise, Seymour and Menzies were creating havoc insuring their forwards were getting plenty of opportunity.

Their use of the ball was impressive and if not for some great defensive work by Grund, Seeley Brereton and company, the damage could have been a lot worse.

Luke Seymour broke the goal drought with two quick goals.

Roopena’s two goals for the quarter came from Ewings and Zucker.

North’s defence continued to shut down any Roos attacks but were ably assisted by some terrible kicking to position by Roopena which not just missed their target but allowed the Magpies to rebound and put the pressure quickly back on the Roos defence.

By half time North had cleared out to be eight goals in front.

The question at the start of the third quarter was could Roopena get back into the contest.

That was quickly answered when the Magpie machine went into overdrive their run and clever use of the ball continued Trezise became even more damaging and is quickly becoming one of the best in and under players in the competition.

Daly kicked another two goals one snap shot on a tight angle was brilliant.

Preiss in ruck and Wohling, Grimm and Harding in defence ,Menzies, Seymour,Clothier around the football all contributing to the relentless pressure applied on the Roos defence and mid field.

With so many forward attacks the icing on the cake was Prokopec bagging three for the quarter to bring his tally to six for the game and a well-earned rest on the bench.

By three quarter time it was game over.
