SMS were very good, great wake up call for the Monds. I would think Ormond will be better on a bigger ground. What is the Preston ground like ?

Ormond had a few out when they beat Preston in a practice match a few weeks ago.

The surface is fantastic but it's a very small ground and they play it very well.
Yes they do, block the middle very well. Better to get that out of the way. Hope both clubs can climb up a couple of grades in the near future.
FWIW it appears the death of Oakleigh was somewhat exaggerated.....

I think there was only one ex SKOBS player out there. But he did play well.

Stand
standing just meters away, no acting required, definitely head high contact, no sooking evident, time to let go the "sook" tag IMO
3 at least
So was I with an elevated position , contact was high on the back, no free kick.
They have done very well, still have talent at the top end.
A very talented but old list...blokes that can still get the job done as long as their bodies hold up over the course of the year...great to see them competing regardless after the talk over pre season.
3/5 last week (11/15 total)...
SMS to remain unbeaten
PEGS to do the same
Oakleigh will get the job at home
Preston will be extremely hard to beat at home all year

Just 2 senior games for SKOBs would indicate he is much more a Mary Saint than a Kevin Saint.
All I said was former Skobs, didn't say how many games. Is Holmes the 3rd.

No, Holmes has been with the club since U18's, just had a year out last year.
And we will just have to disagree about Jones's free kick, part of what we love about the game, we all have our opinions and the umpires are almost always wrong
Well 2 then, both handy players that's for sure.No, Holmes has been with the club since U18's, just had a year out last year.

I think from the sidelines both clubs could benefit from a big tap ruckman. Neither side managed to dominate in this department. SMS struggled to make an even contest.

SMS and Ormond looking very good and is it too early to say 1 and 2 locked away for finals?
Bullants (have surprised a bit) and PEGS next best and have shown patches of dominance over other teams to suggest they are traveling a little better than the rest of the teams below them.
Blanket over the rest I would think and could be anywhere from 3rd to 10th by years end.

Unhappy Chump.

And all I said was that he has played more games for the Saints of the Mary variety than the Saints of the Kevin variety.
My interest is due to the fact his dad played at my club many years ago. Obviously has some ability but when he could not crack it for a regular game at SKOBs he moved on very quickly. Wonder if the young man intends to have another crack at a higher level? Maybe he can help guide SMS up the grades.
Why bother even replying with the opening paragraph, it's not a competition.

Bit stroppy today Bedders. Did you lose some of your hard earned at the bool?
I just think it wasn't worth a reply as id stated it didn't matter how many games. Been looking all over for Canada.
