Good day at Mitchell Park on the weekend. Ground was incredibly good condition! Especially given the rain we have had this season, couldn't believe how good it was.
First time seeing the new building - change rooms are (obviously) far superior to the previous ones, also liked the layout of the canteen and the space there. Couldn't get upstairs unfortunately as had to shoot off had young nieces / nephews with me, but did like the upstairs viewing area.. having a crowd up there on the tins hurling abuse & banter was quality, added bit more to the game and atmosphere.
Wasn't a huge fan of the look of the building though - reminded me a bit like a school building. Still pros and cons I guess.
Both games were hotly contested - they're a well coached outfit Mitchell Park, and have a lot of dangerous players. Staggers belief that they're sitting outside the 5 at the moment. Probably should've won both grades - B grade Ingle Farm just got the jump early and Parkers had to play catch up, A grade it was really about a 40min burst from Ingle Farm either side of half time that was the difference.
With Weekley at the helm, the Lions are on the right path - and honestly, would say they're in a better position than if Cabbage had stayed on.. really a blessing in disguise.
