What a good game, especially good to see Wheatley backing up his quote from yesterday. Did very well indeed, plus his trademark long goal.

A great first half. He'd be my number one choice for the kick out also.

Yep, Wheatley in good form is a valuable player. That big kick really helps us break out from defense, where we often tie ourselves in knots.

For that matter, a fit and in form Bizzell is pretty handy too! I'd say a solid game worthy of keeping the spot.

In fact, how good was our defense today? Very heartening.

Whelan, Rivers, Bartram all to come back soonish. I'd say it's a VERY strong outfit if Frawley and Petterd continue to develop even moderately well.

Maybe Fagan is right with his best 22 comment after all. I've always been a fan of Wheatley. He hasn't been that good for the last year but he can play. A couple of years ago he was the player we gave the dangerous medium forwards like Hird - hopefully he can maintain his form and get back there. He is also so important for the kick outs.
