I was a part of one the best C3 games we have seen at Portland second to our win against Old Iggies a few weeks ago. Not one passenger on our behalf. Every one had put there hand up which hasnt been the case for too long now. Seaton were great on all parts and when the incident early on in the game occured the usual took place and all behaved sensibly instead of flying off the handle. Umpiring was at time tesing but again both sides just ran with it. We basically had 16 players towards the end of the game. Player going up to play B grade and to top it off injuries leaving blokes up forward just for numbers. To go down by 3 points to a top 5 side is promising but no way should we take it as an honorable loss (sh!t i hate that saying, a loss is a loss)
Credit to the Seaton Coach. Came over and shook my hand at the start and end of the game. I went in to speak to the Seaton biys at the end of the game and thanked for again was the best game played at our level there for a while and asked them in for a beer afterwards (cheeky buggers thought they were for free

They were great blokes and hope the next one is as good.
The only critiscism i have is of the guy who went down in the scrap. If the reports are correct (told to me by another Seaton player) that he has a condition which any type of collision occurs he will basically be off to the hospital. If it is this serious why play on? No disrespect to the bloke but there has to more to life than possibly dying on the field. I have been injured enough as most of you know but christ why with that condition risk it. The feedback on the actual hit from both sides wasnt as bad as it looked and he goes down almost completely gone. I know the bloke that scuffed with him is a big man but bloody hell that shouldnt be the result. Please dont take this the wrong way. I went in the rooms straigh after he was taken off to see how he was and asked for updates throughout the game and i think it was his mum i spoke to at the end of the game to ask again what the story was.
Cheers Seaton and I hope we can move forward and maybe play off in the 5 at the end of the year
