TOPIC:

Well in all three games we see that in one case two good quarters can win a game, one average one against a very good team isn't enough in the colts and whilst there is improvement to see in the league one quarter against a much better side is really average.

The Colts were clearly outclassed by a a stronger more physical side who knew what to do and when to do it. There were passages of play that looked good from the boys but as soon as they got past the forward line of the centre square they really did not know what to do!

The reserves decided after half time to switch on and despite peel coming back in the final quarter they did not look like overtaking us! Marcus Ruggiero was clearly the best player marking everything in the backline, Dobbo played a very good second half and used his strengths to great advantage but for me Jed Edwards with limited touches played a really good game by just being tough at the ball and in the ruck, sometimes possessions is not the mark of a good game.

Ok I have admit that Rohan Kerr played a good game. The positives for me were that we did not concede a goal in the first minute of the game it actually took 8 minutes, our second and third quarters were good but still the lapses are to frequent and by players who should know better! K Anderson, J Ramsay, N Blee, S Mckenzie, T Gorter all played well with Shaq being my best player.

Oh well we keep seeing glimpses and we know that is the most we can hope for this year.

Agree Grump Kerr did have a good game. We say it each week nearly but a key fwd we really need. I believe the Reserves copped a bake at half time and came out after that and played much better. A week off seems to have come at a good time but I think they will continue to work very hard on the track this week.

Too big and too strong for us, only thing I can’t live with is the last quarter capitulation. Huge hidings to come if this becomes a pattern. I believe the new methods at the club are causing a very unhappy environment.

SD351 I can only assume given your title that you support SD and you say players are not happy at EP. Therefore you wouldn't be a disgruntled ex player from EP would you?

WCE, you have assumed wrong, been an EP supporter for a long time and not an ex player,

What do you reckon RL, you're a good judge of horseflesh.

AND this from the person who accuses me and others of white anting the player, club etc.

I think you should stick to FACTS and opinions based on those, if you factual information from players to support your assertions put them on here and let them stand some scrutiny
