TOPIC:

The side today should be at full strength.
Other than injuries i would imagine todays team will be the same for round 1.
The coaching staff should have an idea by now who fits where and that should be on display today.

Agree today's lineup should be pretty close to what we will see in round 1. There may be one or two players given a final tryout with some slight tweaking before next week.
Will be interested to see what Eagles players will be included today. Apparently Tunbridge trained with us during the week so probably will play. McInness and Smith may also play. I don't think they will be released again before round 3 bearing in mind we have a bye in round 2.

Reason being freeze has a match report to compile afterwards & we all know the waflonline statistics page can be a little unreliable at times!!

Fair go Mr Hutton it was the first half not quarter I would have done the whole game but I had to go out. I was only going of the stats on WAFLOnline as I was unable to attend the game due to the fact I had to go out.

How do you think I was able to tell who had all the stats and who was dominant in the quarters. I'm good but not that good

A Smith hasn't played any scratchies so far, is there a problem?.

I presume that you are referring to Ali Smith and not Ashley.
I understand that his farming commitments have held him back but would expect that he will line up today as his last chance of a good work out before round 1.

Ali played today and looked pretty good as usual.

You know you are having a bad day with the umps when Moody gets (accidentally) kicked in head by EF player running past, and umpire gives a free kick for a trip!

Reimers played Ressies and kicked 7, dont know why our top recruit was playing in the twos.

Tunbridge looked okay pity he will most probably cop a couple of weeks on the side lines, reported for unduly rough play by the looks of it.

does anyone know the scores please? couldn't make the game today.

Lost by six thanks to 3-4 late goals by EF.
