Pooraka's midfield were excellent, and gave their forwards great delivery. They seemed to get their goals alot easier than us, and Coles was sensational at full forward. Anton Railey carved us up, especially in the first half, and the 2 rovers, Pead and Karpany were excellent too. We matched their intensity and hardness, but were a fair way off their skills and footy-smarts.
Look out when they get Howe back !!!
They are very impressive. Against us it was paradiso that did all the damage, too fast for our midfield. I would have them as favourites for top spot now. With Nth Haven and Portland fighting for 3rd place. Anything can and will happen in the finals though.
Paradiso didnt play either ! They are definately the best side we have played. I think PAOC are probably as skillful, and have a great forward set-up, but Pooraka are very strong all over the ground. I dont think lack of depth will bother them too much to be honest, their top 6-7 players are are better than anyones. Dittmar is a fantastic coach too.
