Intraclub Match Day

[pitmaster 3,087]

For those of us who can't be there, is anyone planning on reporting on the intra club, say quarter by quarter with a comprehensive wrap to finish?

I'd like at least 1,000 lucid, coherent insightful words please.

I'm taking my iphone with me so, if I can transmit an the battery holds out, I'll try to provide some descriptions of play.

[pitmaster 3,087]

That would be much appreciated - and I think in your case I can take the lucid, coherent aspect for granted. Cheers

Well, we're in front but only just. MFC Red leading White. Brad Miller (2 goals), Petterd, Bail among the better players. Buckley running through the lines. Jetta kicked a nice goal. And started the second quarter with another.

Well I'm nervous, I Don't know about you guys.

[Demon Jim 145]

I heard Rivers is injured already?

We're still winning but now it's the MFC White team by 8 points. Petterd BOG to date. Martin, Garland, Grimes and Miller doing well. Neville Jetta moves well and Strauss is a good kick. No Jack Watts.

[45HG 1,539]

Any sign of Jurrah?

Aussie had a strong quarter and Jamie Bennell came into the game. Shane Valentii and Nathan Jones are getting a lot of the ball. Lynden Dunn looks a bigger unit this year and rookie Trent Zomer is doing OK up forward. Jake Spencer is rucking well.

Rivers looked to hurt a foot or ankle in the first quarter and hasn't been back on.

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

Lets not freak out until we know a little more...

If Rivers is injured I'm calling the engagement party off, not worth it

A good win at last. Aussie, Valenti had good last quarters.

More later.

Thanks for the udates WJ

[Yencks 8]

good to see valenti cementing his spot hopefully. also good to hear about jones. would love to see an improved version of his 07 form back in action.

btw, what was the crowd like? was there a good turn out?

[demonwithin 46]

Good turn out crowd wise.

Not Playing - Robbo, Jurrah, Watts, Wheatley, Davey, Jamar, Blease, McNamara, Maric cant think of any others.

Hard to tell who was who from the new boys and the Casey fill ins.

Wona - Great looks magnificent BOG for mine.

Strauss - Boy can he kick. Really like the look of him.

Bennell - very good.

Jetta - just as good.

Whelan - good.

Garland -ditto.

Meesen - eh !

Morton - got better as the game went on plenty of touches by the end

Pettard - great physique played quite well.

I think it was about 13 goals to 11 with the whites having a win

Bigger crowd then I thought - needed to car park attendants to direct to you free parking spots

[Yencks 8]

thanks mate, all questions answered there!

just a quick one, what about the ruck division? spencer?

[Jaded No More 58,886]

It's official, Rivers and football don't go together! :(

Think Spencer will give you a contest - dont know about skills though. Big enough to play with the big boys now.

Meesen - god he look good but just doesn't get enough of it nor good at the contest IMO. Did a couple of nice things. Real chance is to turn into a ruckman that runs all day and ends up with 20 touches rather then a dominating big man

Johnson -Serviceable today

Jamar - Didn't play

[demonwithin 46]

Got there five minutes in and first contest I saw was the Rivers one. !

[Keepin up with the Joneses 48]

I'm just glad Rivers isn't an animal. With his track record, he would have been put down a long time ago.

Someone needs to buy him a bubble to stay inside of.

[Jaded No More 58,886]

Well, he did play a whole 5 minutes, which is an achievement in itself

Did you see what actually happened?

[ucanchoose 1,804]

I thought that Newton was just as inept as normal. Not hard at it at all and always running to the wrong space

[demonwithin 46]

Well, he did play a whole 5 minutes, which is an achievement in itself

Did you see what actually happened?

Went up for a spoil in an one on one contest side by side with his opponent and when he landed he just landed awkwardly.

Stopped and held the top of his foot and the tried to run it out for the next minute. Doc wanted him off and he tried to stay out there but did eventually come off.

Never saw him again after that.

Might of played on in a normal game. Lets remember this was a intra club game in Feb !

Lets hope it was more precautionary then anything
