Not sure the criticism of the United coach is warranted. He's been at the helm for 2 matches after a pretty unusual pre-season and appears to have pulled together a pretty bloody decent playing list. Give him time - United will feature in the Top 4.
On a different note - I bet APFL sides are pretty happy to see Barnett listed in the WWT Reserves team tomorrow. He was dynamite last week against Mallala - I can't remember a more dominant performance from a player (not that means much).

They have the toughest draw IMO.

I’ve seen them twice a year for as long as I can remember and it’s the same old Bute to me and plenty of other YP club people that watched Saturday are saying the same. I’m not bagging them and hats off to them for having ago but if they played Southern Eagles, Pasky, Moonta, Crows etc last Saturday they would not have won.

It was only 2 years ago that they were getting smashed week in, week out - it was looking pretty dire for that footy club for a few years. For them to beat United last week, who I believe have a better list than they did last season, suggests to me that they have improved. Time will tell i guess.

Looks like 2020 is a very even affair with a lot closer margins than previous years.

Huge win and congrats to United. Played their ground well and used their wingman brilliantly. Could aswell see they’ve been really training and focusing on their short passes out of their backline instead of just long bombing it out. Two Wells had 3 outs that I could see ( Barnett, Harry Gameau and Humphrys) so some quality outs but still credit to United on the win. Crowd atmosphere was finals like in the last quarter. Two Wells having to play its 3rd straight away game at Bute this weekend is gonna be a huge test with Bute being 2-0 and full of confidence.
