Thanks Vanders, Dutchy, #15 (get better soon) and everyone else, the win was definitely enjoyed!
I agree with you Fred, the younger blokes like Moyle, Hayes, Beetham are looking like they are going to take that next step this year.
Spider was sensational. I'll be expecting another few shockers before he puts in a performance like that again.
If Harves doesn't get over his injury soon, Aaron Hamill may very well take his place as my favourite player. I've never seen anyone attack the ball like he does in the forward line. The amount of times he put his body on the line and did all of the one percenters for the team was fantastic. (Not that anyone would ever replace Robert Harvey as my favourite player
)
Playing three rookie listed players and having Harvey, Loewe, Hall, Gehrig, Lawrence and Hudghton to return, I think we are in a good position 4 weeks out from the start of the season. Having said that, playing a team without the likes of Cousins, Kemp, the Matera's, Jakovich and Cummings made it a little easier.
I think you are pretty spot on Karnaby. My understading is that there are two vacant spots on our list. And I'm sure that was in the back of the rookie players minds because Milne, Wittison and Oliver were excellent. Especially Wittison, I wouldn't be surprised if he is promoted and gets his chance early in the season.
