TOPIC:

2 mins in the forward line with not one touch so thought the boys be better off if I'd drag myself and go back to to holding my board mate..... Haha

2 mins game time and never touched it .....next thing you know the fellas will be calling you Doggy

I thought it was a hard fought game with neither side giving an inch and was played in great spirit for most of the game ... yes Forrestdale was a little undermanned with injuries .... but we had 18 on the field 1 player who did his ankle in the second and myself who went on for 2 mins so I take nothing away from my lads who played their hearts out to get the win... as for bad blood their is none from our side of things... I had a few beers and a chat with a few of their players and their president and did not see any hard feeling .... actually have to say they are a good bunch of lads who I enjoyed having a chat to and who a still one of the teams to beat come finals !

That's my point. No team would genuinely be dropping players to win a thirds flag.

As for Warnbro V Brentwood well I think we played half of there Reserves team based on what there reserves team played and looked like!! Also based on quiet a few new faces from last time and the fact they almost rolled us before we managed to steady and win by 4 goals. Apart from that a good game that was good to watch!!
Looks like the top 4 might be interesting towards the end of the year!!!

I can categorically say that you did not play half the ressies team. I am confident our thirds would beat our ressies by 10 goals and we never, ever bring ressies players down to thirds. We have a lot of players that come in and out of the team probably use 40 players or more during the season.

Was a good, close game. Thought we were going to pinch it at the end but we ran out of legs. The first couple of quarters in particular felt like a finals game - lots of pressure and very little time to make a decision.

As for top 4, I thought it was still top 5 for finals?

It is top 5

Haha easy there big fella.....just a bit of tongue in cheek from some of us regarding this topic.....it was mentioned a couple weeks back that we were dropping ressies players back but like you guys and prob all the other 3rds, 4ths, 5ths teams etc. we have a large turn over of players for obvious reasons that you have mentioned......all fun and jokes aside great win by you boyz yesterday and we look 4ward 2 our show down with you's in a few weeks time.

Also. The selfishness of the kingsway coach is a joke. Think he should learn from his assistant and goal assists

Also something something dropping players

Unsure why the E2 forum is getting a bit narky!! Chill out everyone and enjoy the social footy and the beer afterwards I say.
To answer all your questions about Forrestdale, there are a number of injuries and we are low on players but we will give it our best every week. Good luck to all this week!!

Think it's just a bit of friendly banter

Big game against CWP this weekend! Always enjoy playing at that ground for some reason.

Should be good E2BF
We finally might field 20 blokes this week (it is only thursday tho). The 2nd half of the year has been a bit of a struggle for us but it is always a good game between our 2 clubs. Looking fwd to it.
