Talks about crisis meetings and coaches getting sacked is a bit rich at this point. It seems like a good even comp but here are my FOOTY observations.
# Port seemed to travelling ok but other sides will know more about them next time around
# Centrals lost on the weekend but will be stronger when they get their full team on the park
# West only team to beat Port and if Jordan didnt kick straight would be 6th
# Sollies have hit great form beating two sides away
# South have fallen away last two weeks but were run away minor premiers last year and will be back- sure the mix of player/coach is tough but am sure this will iron out as the season goes along
# Lions would be 4th if that kick missed and would be a silly chance to win their next two v South at home and then sollies who they beat by 9 goals last time.
Lions won't pull the trigger on Duck & neither should they, he is rated by the hierarchy enough to be SGL coach. Similarly Struck will be fine as two weeks is a long time in footy. Both these guys were appointed for reasons their clubs saw fit at the time, this couldnt have changed after one round!
ST you went early and posted after two rounds "dont think any of the pt augusta sides will have to worry about Lions,Ports or sollies this year again as all 3 look pretty ordinary!! "- care to stick by that or would this now need an update?
Now I know that all cant make the finals but looking forward to the rest of the year- should be interesting.
Anyone else care to post an opinion as to how the sides are going now after all teams have played one another!
Great finish Sunday, super kick given the pressure!!
Ports played very well together and have an even spread of talent, IMO the best team we've played,
Centrals have a few players that are hard to match up on and are a close 2nd,
Sollies the form team at the moment and playing with new found confidence,
South trying to get a settled team on the park and play 4 quarters of footy,
West can seize momentum but switch off,
And Lions, saw them in round 1, it wasn't a great game but we just came away with a win and they seem to have struggled since. Wooden spoon is theirs ATM.
