Are our boys that far behind the rest Maid? Scoring only the behind is pretty disappointing. Thing with junior football is it's mainly about the size of the lads - quite easy for the early developers to have a big influence on a game.
There are a couple of lads playing regular U17s in Wise and Ramsay - would have thought those two would be up to the appropriate standard. How did they play?
yea the lads did alright,wise would have been in the top 5,a few just couldnt take that step which was disappionting as you select on what you see each week,the other leagues just look more professional and with some leagues having under 15s where they play all together week in week out not sure if that is the difference,size was a factor,we looked big at training and then we look small game day,the yorke boys where just so fast and there skill level would test some a grade sides.
Not sure the right kids were played. I know they like to get an even rep from each club but surely the majority of kids have gotta come from Two Wells, Mallala & Balak. That said we have traditionally struggled in these comps. Nothing too much to be alarmed about.
. Always gotta feel sorry for blokes who need a recon, knowing how much hard work and pain is required to get back. Lets hope he recovers well and plays footy again in 2011.
