Trial Games LIVE scores - Week 1

[Macca19]

I hope Wilson stays fit all year. Will be good having a proper target to kick to.

[Brodlach]

Yeh give Collins one more trial game and if he does'nt win it sack him !
Why waste another year with that BS style of football.

You should be happy, one less team to keep you out of the finals

Following players would push for league spots who didnt play yesterday or played in the reserves:

Birss
Caruso x 2
Hartlett
Poynton

If anyone is watching the 18s Eagles v Port game, can they let me know how Sam Rowland and Chad Ruiz go today?

Young lads from Balaklava trying to crack the squad.

I was there, but I wasn't concentrating on any one or two players.

That's what we need following the departure of Cloke.
Another wookie to partner the behemoth Robertson up front!

You saw him Saturday NM, he didn't look 125kg did he?

I think he looks solid but not 125kg, maybe 100-110kg perhaps?

[The Sleeping Giant]

I doubt Cockshell has been close to 100kg since he was 12.

He did look quite fit and moved pretty well.

I think he looks solid but not 125kg, maybe 100-110kg perhaps?

I think he arrived at Alberton around 117kg and he has played the last couple of years at 112 or close to, so he has a little to lose, but i wouldnt think that would take long.

[stampy]

Anyone get out to the Panthers internal trail at 10am this morning ?

Like to hear a bit of feedback as I could not get there.

Cheers

South Adelaide won

It's very hard to understand what you should take out from trials. Are Port the real deal? Are Westies the same old again? What was the strength of the sides that were put out on the park on the weekend? I'd like to hear from supporters of all clubs that competed in trials on the weekend. Tell us your thoughts...

I dont take trial results seriously, especially the earlier ones. No one is going to go full strength for the first few weeks.

[bloods08]

Trials mean stuff all. We lost to South by a similar margin last year and we came out and won 6 of first 8 games (or something like that) before falling away after that.

[NO-MERCY]

Both sides had players missing but Ports depth & game plan looks better at present, pretty simple really.
Port played a play on at all cost attacking game while West were more interested in defending the onslaught & forgot that you have to attack to kick goals & win a game of footy.
I think West are alot better than what they displayed Saturday & Port are definately a side on the improve with finally a player like Wilson straightening them up.
Finals for Port definately is my tip.

[RB]

Do they really have the depth?

My little brother played in the reserves on Saturday! Played the whole game at half back and had 16 disposals, fantastic to see him get a run.
