I took comfort out of your report, as obviously the major switches in players and the large use of new players would have produced major swings in the game. There was a slight fade-out before half time though. Good to see they finished strongly though.

Where was LRT? Is he going to be playing this year?

LRT must be carrying an injury. He wasn't listed as due to play. He doesn't seem to have been part of the main group of players during training, so hopefully its just a case of nursing him along slowly.

There was a group of non-participating players hanging around on the ground just before the start, all sporting what seems to be the new "uniform" of dark greenish/grey polos. (The coaching staff were wearing the same.) This included LRT, Hunt (I think), Sundqvist and a few others. Two were dark-haired, medium sized and I had thought one was Thewlis, given he wasn't listed as playing. But then he appeared out on the ground. One I think was Crawford, maybe the other O'Mahoney? No sign of players like Seymour, Barry, Ball, Doyle, Davis, O'Loughlin, Saddo, Crouch though. Maybe they were all tucked up somewhere nice and dry!

I saw Doyle, Davis, O'Loughlin and saddington around during the clinic, and then literally walked into plugger, apologised profusely and looked up at who i ran into then went "Oh!"

I saw most of the guys who didn't play around the ground, either during or after the game. Most of the seniors were showered and changed during the second half. Willo came out at full time, with is daughter on his shoulder. Bolton (J), Goodes and other senior players were on the sideline through the 4th quarter PACING to go on, they weren't given the chance. And in retrospect is was good that they weren't because the guys dug deep .... however, I was desperate for them to go on ... we looked like losing (having been ahead fofr most of the game) until the last few minutes!

Declan O'Mahony listed as player in Record and on this site - still no front at game. Meant to ask Kennelly what was happening - but he was away before some of us had a chance to get all the autographs - unforturnately.!!!
Anyone any wiser re our Irish Rookie??

According to Kennelly's brother He went back to Ireland and isnt returning.

That's a shame - we were never given any guarantees though. I know that he went back to Ireland to think about it. Who knows anyway, we'll hear from the club about it one way or another.

Its hearsay but I gathered it was set in concrete. I agree that it is a shame as he would probably have had a great career out here.

Neither side could be unhappy with the way they played and the press Aus wide seems to be happy with the young players of both sides. Both Roos and Sheedy can take heart from a good exhibition.
