Don't pin your hopes on the Colts boys as we all well know the good ones get drafted.

Patience....luck and management with your talented youngsters will bring you success. 3-4 year plan.

Not all will be drafted Roman every club just needs to ensure they keep enough of the good ones around to play league football and become 100 game players for their clubs.

I didn't mean all Dwert. The kids with natural ability will.

Correct Dwert. That is something that this club has not managed well in a long time.
Sure you might lose some to the draft but it is keeping the best of rest at the club and bringing them along.

I came up from Australind for this game.
And half we through the first quarter it was all over.
Bitterly disappointed nothing has changed except my bank account.
Pathetic.

I left at half time. I stayed a qtr too long.

If 41,43 and 44 played I can't remember them.

Listened to the quarter time huddle. I thought the forward coach (what's his name?) was excellent along with Earl. Both pretty pissed off but nicely measured.

16 and 17 never played.

You reckon number 19 is not up to it. That was only Matty Taylor's second game. Give me a spell TFAF.
