Gday mate,
Sounded like a good game and I'm glad Pacco got the win. Appears both teams started the game with new ruckman. Who is this Helliwell as I hear his a huge unit and bigger than Sikora. Started as first ruck so Sikora wouldn't be happy. He really is a 1st ruck and it's his only position. But as I have said before, he is fit & young so should be able to ruck 90% of the game especially on the smaller grounds of some clubs. My sources tell me Sikora was pretty quite so is Strathmore naming him in the best to pump him up, so they can try and off load him after the season??
I suppose the result was to be expected and it's been a long time since Pacco have beaten Strathmore, let alone twice in one season. I'm hearing the long time supporters were pretty happy..
For Strathmore they will regroup as a very proud & successful club. Finals will be different without them, but it's good for footy overall to see a different club, being Pacco, playing finals.
Seen a picture of McIntosh doing an interview at your luncheon. Surely that rumour is close to the truth. Good get if he can stay free of injury. Will no doubt be on good coin so he will play in the ruck. So where does this leave your other ruckman as they "true" ruckman so won't play second fiddle, nor would the club want 2-3 "high" profile rucks.
Any other news mate from the game..
