    Thanks for the tweeting. You said that Aliir spent a bit of time in the ruck, as well? Interesting. Did he show enough, to suggest that he could ruck for a reasonable amount of time in the firsts? Also, it seemed like Edwards was doing well?

      Aliir is undoubtedly a talent and it will be interesting to see how he is deployed at senior level going forward. With more KPD depth now in our squad there is the opportunity to see if we can mould him into a tall mobile fwd/winger.

      Will he be recalled to the senior backline or developed as a fwd in the ressies, watch this space

          Ugg, is this the usual official unusual batch of Best Players? How did you rate them?

          Talia "best", is he thawing and being brought back in from the cold?

            How did you see Talia's game? At some stage he needs a senior birth. Sadly there is a good chance Grundy will not be there for the next tilt at a premiership so the next tier of players need to be tested at some stage I feel

              Talia played on the resting ruckman in either Nicholls or Currie and I don't remember him losing a contest. Calm in possession and good long kick. But given our dominance in the midfield and field position after quarter time I'm not sure that equates a best on ground performance.

                Or if the MRP give one of their dodgy decisions, we may need Talia to replace Reg for his non high contact on super snipe Hodge. Making him BOG greases the rails for that to happen :-)

                  Some photos of the day. There's a covered smallish stand, but also benches around the ground and on a nice day like this it's worth sitting on those or even watch from your cars (As an aside, do any of those cars ever get damaged by an errant ball?)




                  At three quarter time got to listen in to the huddle. Interestingly Shaw addressed the midfield group only with Nicky D doing the final message with the whole group

                  Nothing too enlightening to report, obviously they were very happy with how the match had unfolded and just drove home the message to keep working and best of all enjoy the quarter.

                  John Blakey and Craig Holden were also there but were just observers

                    It's a damning indictment on our coaching staff that we have talia and Allir in the 2's, while our seniors are so rubbish.

                    Coaches SHOULD NOT have loyalty to older players. They should only be loyal to the club.

                      Our senior team had won three in row!
                      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                        Leading into the game we'd won 3 on the trot so why would you drop any of the defence? Going forward I agree that it's time to test the waters especially with Talia. Like I said earlier more than likely Grundy will not be part of the next premiership tilt so they need to look at Talia, Maibaum etc with a view to developing a defensive structure going forward.

                          You need to pick your best team win lose or draw. Of those three wins, all were against sides outside the 8, so hardly time to set the team in stone.

                            So who should have been dropped for Aliir & Talia? as you have suggested.

                              Nice 3 goals from Sam Wicks. I think he might have been mistakenly overlooked for the under 18 allies team.

                                Barracuda what do you know about Sam barkley. I thought he played a very good game as a defender, hard at the contest and very neat disposal.
