Brighton were very good on the weekend. Hardly missed a tackle in the first 3 quarters, and ran hard and in numbers. Flinders were flat and applied very little pressure for 3 qtrs as well, allowing Brighton easy exits from D50 and subsequently easy and clean F50 entries. They were allowed the middle of the ground far too often and I thought FP's defence held up reasonably well considering how quickly and often the ball was coming in.. In the last qtr it reversed and FP played good footy and applied pressure, and put some respectability back on the scoreboard. Whether Brighton had taken the foot off the pedal, who knows..
FP need to be smarter going forward as well. Ainger had 3 or 4 blokes on him at times but they still always went to him. He did kick 6.4 for the day so he more than held up his end, but they need to lower the eyes a bit and use the forwards who's opponents peel off and out number Ainger. They start doing that then they will be far more dangerous

Just for the weekend. Went and watched Aing play for Flinders and see how Brighton looked..

Has been out injured last 3 games but will hopefully return this week. We've already used 31 players in the A grade so we haven't been immune from injuries.
I see smosh have a few clearances this week? Understand they are looking at relegation but still disappointing to see players pack up and out before season end. Also surprising to see number 33 for plympton looking to go to Hume football league? Good fast little forward, can any one from plympton tell us why?

All of the above are going to leagues that play this weekend. Clearance page doesn't distinguish whether it's a full clearance, permit, temporary transfer etc. so more likely a case of blokes heading home for the long weekend and playing a game whilst home. I know that the Plympton player is from Albury which is Hume League area so I think your post is a case of "easy tiger".
