Half agree with that mate.
Not sure what the reason for the late arrival of our umpire was, so I wont be too hard on him, might have been a legit reason ?
But I will agree with you, Thought the old guy from NH doing half the game on his own was more doing an excellent job, not easy to umpire a game by yourself.
Your B grade looked very well drilled, switched the play nicely and ran pretty hard.
If you can keep that group you will be hard to beat I reckon.The A Grade looked to be a closer game than the margin said I thought tho, I know, bad kicking is bad footy, but I think scoring shots and inside 50's were pretty even, the NH forward line obviously performed better in front of the big white sticks ( which is all that matters at the end of the day i guess)
Congrats to NH for a couple of good wins

This B grade team would be one of the most settled teams Ive played in. Theres only one or two changes a week, everybody knows their role, and the whole teams improving every week on little things we want to work on. And the most important thing is we're all having fun. It actually does make a huge difference in how a team performs.
On Saturday I was kinda hoping Glenunga would win a clearance, coz standing in the back pocket on the forward pocket player who was making me accountable by staying put made for a very cold and boring day. And then in the final qtr when the Rams got a run on, my legs were so cold and stiff I could hardly run to try and defend.
Thats the only bad thing about being a backman in a form team....you're hardly ever in the play.
