A good game yesterday- despite the umpires, well played Hope Valley yesterday getting up by 5 goals. A very even team across the board and all contributed sucessfully. I thought it was our best game for the year we kept up with HV for most of the match everyone fought it out well.
The umpires were again in full flight make interesting calls left, right and centre that was killing a good game of football. A few guys said after the game that they were some of the worst umpires they've come across. This was further proven when after the game as one A.Burridge told one of them that "If I go home and neck myself you will know why"

One of the worst one was when a HV player got a free kick for high contact after Jake Watts reached over the top of him, spoiled the ball cleanly and then brought the ball to ground in a fair football contest- should of been play on.
Special mentions to Jake Watts who yesterday let his emotions get the better of him after the game. He is pretty much playing on one leg, he can't see, he can't train, it takes a week for him to recover and shouldn't really be playing but he played a fantastic match yesterday and was clearly our best player. At presos last night our Assistant coach Shane Griffen who played with Jake for a long time, was brought to tears as he named Jake best player. Never before have I seen such a man get so emotional over one of his mates. I hope everyone takes some inspiration of that and take into next week, I sure did
As for next week we have Rosewater and it's going to be on, can't wait. This will be my first time playing against Rosewater and from watching previous battles and hearing all the stories about the battles we've had over the years it's going to be a huge game. We must win it.
