Good win for the Blues. There was no doubt about the strength of there list and the result highlights this. Probably an expected result, considering from all reports they have had a solid pre-season, recuited well and definately look to be the league front runners, whereas Jervios are apparently on the slide from the powerhouse they once were.
I went out to Mannum to watch the game against Tailem Bend, and I must say I was impressed by the Eagles. There has been a lot of hype about both of these teams, and many consider Mannum as a top 3 contender. From what I saw, both sides are very improved from last season, and it was a bit of a slog for the first half. Quinn had a good first half then was quite. Then Tailem broke the game out and were comfortable winner by 35 points. I was impressed by Muffy, the bloke hasn't lost his touch, Raidis got plenty of kicks, and Lynch showed some great desperation when the game was there to be won. Hogarth gave plenty of drive into the forward line and Shultz on the wing was good, with a bit of dash. The big man Comer bagged 5 or 6 to top off a good day for the Eagles.
I think the positives to come out for Tailem is there best footy is still to come, but still had a comfortbale win. Andrew Coombe, Crunchie Aspel and Adam Robertson all still have to come into the side, and recruit Matt O'Brien who played in the 2s for some reason.
The bad thing for Mannum is there has been a lot of hype surrounding them, they'll be dissapointed with the loss.
Heard that Aaron Hockey has at best a Very badly sprained Ankle or at worst has broken his leg. Any report from that Drama
Grade 3 torn ligaments Yetti, he's having scans tomorrow to double check though.
Unfortunate for Mannum as he had kicked 3.6 to half time and was playing quite well apparently
Hockey was playing well at full forward gave them a target, also Harte was playing well onball but when both went off late in the third quarter mannum chances of winning became harder
