its good to see players who have played for the ressies play in the carnival & hopefully get into the QLD team.... so that they have a higher chance of getting drafted next year!!!
like J McDonald who was mentioned in the goals & best for the Western Taipans... champs' team.....

2 guys who played with the ressies & trained with the lions during the pre-season was also spotted by my keen eye there today... Leigh McMahon... & Peter Hay.....

Leigh was water boy/runner/a bit of everything for the Country Kookaburras... who had a win.... SWEET JUSTICE,,,,, NORTHERN RAIDERS,,, LOSING TWICE!!!!!!!

Peter then played with the Suncoast Power... YAY... they came up against stiff opponents the Gold Coast Stingrays.... & went down in their first game of the championships....

i arrived what i thought would have been very early... only to find that i had arrived halfway through an unscheduled game...

it was
Essendon Grammar at 3/4 is was 71... & ended at 97
Vs
a QLD development team " " 48 " " 58

Graeme."Gubby" Alan former collingwood player & now Football Director at the Lions's son Marcus was playing & is a handy lil player..... jumping & running & ducking & weaving... could have future potential...

 

[keatings_gal]

the first of hte 2 scheduled games was....


NORTHERN RAIDERS VS COUNTRY KOOKABURRAS

i saw alot of talent out there today from both of these sides....

Toby McIver is probably one of the best i think from the 2 teams because of his adaptability to any position that he is required to work in. He is a 16 y/o 185cm 79kg left footer from Aspley who shows fine skills.

also from the Raiders i like their 190 cm 17 y/o ruckman NIc Dargusch who is from melbourne-recruit Clint Bizzell's old club Wilston Grange. Nic is a big boy with alot of strength & takes a beauty overhead mark.

Josh Bond impressed me with his goal kicking abilities & ended up with 2 i think for the day. He kicked the first goal for the day to the club house end. he then kicked another one in the 2nd quarter.

Simon Northcott plays alot like Dyl McLaren actually but shows more strength over head which is always a good thing because when you are his size 192cm you are often matched up very well height wise with other ruckman & tall forwards
