Drama wrote:I went out to watch Tailem Bend's trail match on Saturday. Very impressed with what I saw.
They played Phos, a Div 2 side and were rather competitive, in pretty awful weather.
Raidis played well, gathering a few touches and Hogarth is a goer. Was in everything. Impressed by Lynch, Vickers and Aspel. As well as young Linde.
And from what I can gather, Tailem played pretty well without the likes of Muffy Kartinyeri, Shane Comer, Adam Robertson, Brad Bell, Michael Thomas, new bloke O'Brien and Jason Marks- who were all unavalible to play.
The boys, understrengthed, played pretty well and only lost by about 5 goals to quality opposition. Only a trial, but some good signs.
Heard the week before tailem got convinceably beaten by strath. maybe denty is only there for his previous playing 'ability' not coaching skills. are all there recruits really that good?
