CHIDLOW continued to experiment with players in different positions during their 25.6 (156) to 7.9 (51) win over Bullsbrook.

In the round 14 game Chidlow started Joshua Liddle up forward while Luke Elliott and Tim Huntley began on the ball.

After five minutes of contested football the Cougars began to attack the goals.

Jake Forman picked up possessions at will delivering the ball deep into Chidlow’s forward line where Matt Mallaby, Joshua Liddle and Shane Fitzgerald lined up to have turns at kicking for goal.

After a string of four goals the Saints managed their first through Rory Bennett.

Injuries and FIFO workers continue to take their toll on playing numbers with Bullsbrook starting with 18 players.

Full credit goes to Chidlow's sportsmanship for agreeing to start with 16 players on the field, which allowed the Saints to have two on the interchange.

Having the ability to be able to rotate players probably helped Bullsbrook finish the game without further injuries.

By the end of the first quarter Chidlow had six goals on the board compared with the Saints one.

The second quarter had the Cougars kicking six straight to have a very accurate score of 12 goals and one point at half time.

James Thompson was winning his fair share of ruck contests for the Saints but Chidlow players Luke Elliott and Blake Offer were reading the ball better.

When the Saints did manage to go forward they were breaking down around half forward where Chidlow’s Zane Lyall was quick to mop up and drive the ball back over the centre while Forman continued to find space and create the overlap.

At times all that the Saints midfielders could do was watch the ball go over their heads.

Cougar Shane Fitzgerald was having a day out finishing the game with 10 goals while his teammate Matt Mallaby came to life in the third quarter with a couple of accurate long shots on goal.

Coming off a Wes Hall run-up seemed to work for him.

For the Saints Dylan Bailey combined with Jorden Healy to push the ball forward allowing Sheldon Aplin to mark and kick a goal but Chidlow held such a commanding lead heading into the last quarter the result was already decided.

The two teams kicked 11 goals between them in the final quarter.

James Thompson put in a big finishing effort when taking the centre ball ups, then dropping back to mark strongly in defence and even working his way into the forward line to score a goal.

Rory Bennett added another two to finish the game with three goals.

Benn Wood rounded off a strong four quarter performance.

Rory Crosby and George Schneider had a variety of roles in both attack and defence in an attempt to give the Saints more momentum.

In the end it was Chidlow with a 105-point win.
