TOPIC:

Got there early so ran a bit of water for the 16's game. Some good footballers out there for both sides. Interesting to see a real stracevich, one that was hard at the ball and player.Couple other boys that impressed.

Colts game was an interesting game for us, we had been playing not quite good enough football for this level but yesterday's game showed we can play a very good colts game.

I thought the work during the week on structures and ball movement showed out and we reaped the rewards. The backline lead by Mr Haddon was tight and the support and the run and line movement of scruffy Decke and Tom Gorter was great.

The midfield on Wright, De Campo Mill and others were quite dominate at times in the game.

Subiaco looked like they could get a run on but it did not eventuate either through our efforts or by not having the player to step up. They played well so well done.

A good win and a bye next week before Peel.

Missed the colts game how did Borowski play? Stats indicate a forward role.

9 possessions. 7 kicks, 2 handballs. Also 2 marks and kicked 1 goal 2 points.

played well for first game back and 2 training sessions

Grump how did the Black Ducklings look last week as I only caught the last qtr due to the Fwy closure?

Thanks for the info guys. Super quick, can take a grab, fantastic long set kick and a nice bloke but 2 training sessions and gets gig. Unsure of message (or messages) that sends to his team mates especially those not getting a game who have completed a full preseason.

Kelvin has just completed a full season of athletics and the group knows that when he comes back from that he will probably be a walk u into the team, good kick and extremely quick so there is acceptance.

They looked the goods again. Quick. hard and solid in their play. Seems that the model from the past couple of years for your development is working well.

Can't remember to much about the players but will do better next time, sorry.

Borowski was at more than 2 sessions prior to selection.
He was held back from the Swans game due to not training enough.

Grump you apparently misinformed me but the point of not many training sessions was understood. Never mind even if its 5 or 10 sessions it is no where near the 50 to 60 that others would have completed. No doubt the other players must accept the selection process regardless if they agree with it. There is no dispute on Borowski's ability or if he is already at an adequate level of fitness to play this is not about him. This senario I would assume happens across all the WAFL clubs and it was the message that was sent to the other players that I was trying to get opinions on. I am not a big fan of the practice and was hoping for some others to input.
