When it’s this tight , it’s so good when the teams around us lose.

Billing’s, Bowey or Sparrow as sub

Will eventually be a midfield star as well.

The forward is starting to look really settled and it’s the best it’s looked in a while, with the form of Turner , Roo and the return of Melksham, who is a definite leader up there and also frees up Fritter. (Kozzie in career best form too) Do you think it’s the best set up we’ve had in a long time and do you give kudos to the coaches for sticking with youth not only in the forward line but with the confidence and continuing development of Windsor and Roo, McVee AMW and the Kolt?. Rivers has been a revelation the middle and will give us an extra string to our bow and our mid rotations in years to come.

I think he knows what he is doing. He has faith in the players and he can spot the young kids that have that competitive nature in them. Under much adversity has been very creative so much kudos to him.

McVees footy iq is through the roof and that’s on top of his cat like reflexes

Exactly, it made us find something else and it’s bloody worked! Rivers in the middle plus our forward line us the best it’s looked in a very long time.

Turner is a helluva competitor too hey?

If Max doesn’t play , they will go with the same set up. Van Rooyen as the main ruck with Petty and Turner relieving him. Blind Freddie can see that the Roo has come of age in the last few games. you can rely on him now to give you a contest every time. After just watching the replay to me me he was amidst the most important player as he quelled the influence of their supposed ruck advantage.

How nice to have some Joy though? We have had a lot of adversity lately. Gives me so much hope that these blokes actually have something about them. They seem to love each other, and that film about Kozzie going home and images of Koz with his baby girl at all the team huddles and stuff. Love all that!

Scuse the French but , Live this F…..g bunch of kids.

Imagine the Kolt in 2 or 3 years time after he bulks up a bit in the gym. He would be a real unit I reckon.

I’m not worried about JVR , he is a big lump of a lad that loves crashing in. I don’t think we will burn him out he loves it. Mark my words, he will be the Key superstar forward we are looking for.

Windsor , Kozzie, Rivers, McVee , Van Rooyen and Langdon have hit some serious form, and Melksham hasn’t missed a beat. Oliver improving each week. They seem to have found a new team spirit created by the brilliant kids we have in both character and endeavour . Rivers in the middle though F…..g brilliant What a find!

I’m feeling optimistic about this game. We will tag Merrett heavily and Petty will go with Draper around the ground using his defensive skills and providing an outlet marking option for us. Apart from Trac and Max being out, the others have hit good form at the right time and I reckon this the statement game of the year for us.

Has anyone been to training to see who has trained in the ruck position?

It could be Petty down back and TMac in the ruck?

If it’s an ankle , then why did they strap his calf??

This kids got gumption

Koltyn has great energy and really needs to stay in the side, he was terrific today.

We are starting to look good again and have our energy and pressure game back. Great bunch of talented kids and forward line is taking shape and looks better just with Melkys presence. JVR is the one. Anything can happen from here , but geez I’d love to have Trac back.
