New look to the squad & some unavailable for the trip up to Basso - the lads had better be up for it or they'll cop a flogging.

Spot on Southerner...missing 5-6 of our best IMO youngsters need to stand up or we will be flogged

One big scrap , scrape & bruise - but to the club's credit four valuable points were snatched

Confirmed the thoughts I had that 6 pointers will be hard earned this year & the midfield was where it's at for us

Even more valuable was that a bunch of kids got brutal exposure to a fanatic opponent on a traditionally difficult patch of grass to win at.

A bogey out the way

Full respect to the Black Ducks on another big effort in a game that could have gone either way

Well that was a pleasant surprise to get 4 points , but honestly scoring a low as that on a day like today ... wtf ? 7 and 8 goals respectively bugger all, great for a win but both sides going forward Will need to a room of mirrors.

Good 2 get the 4 points but suspect we will get flogged by a rejuvenated PFC next week...

Any word on Pickett? & Main injured early yesterday?

Yep, going to have to lift the ratings and the scoring big time to beat Perth going by what they did on the weekend.

Pleasantly surprised with the result on the weekend like a majority of SF supporters I did expect the worst...

This week will be a huge test as the Dees did look impressive against the WC reserves.

Whether we have got the midfield grunt to go with the Dees for the whole of the game is yet to be seen?. I would like to see a couple of youngsters be given the run with rolls on a few of the Dees prime movers to aid their development.

Picky might be another week away depending on a fitness test in a couple of days - great news from the ressies where Brendan Verrier made his comeback & got a heap of the pill & guys like Florenca , Russell , Reed & Steve Verrier got a good run
Mainy might miss a couple unfortunately

Munkara had to serve a NTFL imposed one week suspension last week he might be an outside chance to come in ? clever and exciting forward..

Kyle Hamersley is a young midfielder who had a good game on the weekend in the twos he has plenty of grunt and has got a great motor give a him a role to run with one of the Dees midfielders. Didn't make it to Basso on the weekend any news on our style this year. Previous years we have been a high possession team that turned the ball over far too often and now with a younger group would need to need to tidy this up?

More than likely he'll come back via the Ressies given missed game time - definitely blessed with natural raw talent

Getting a few experienced guys back in will help delivery into the forwards , we missed Picky with that and I honestly thought we were pretty rusty everywhere on the paddock

Quite a few lads will see senior game time this year no choice there and it will be good to find out what we have nurtured in the past couple of years
