Match Thread - Round 3, Royals v Falcons

[swannies]

Royals v Falcons - Well, the first Perth derby is upon us, with the red and blues up and firing. Hunt and LeCras back will be a boost and give another good target up forward. Wirra, Glancy and Cowell back for the Royals gives them some more experience.

Andrews v Clarke will be an interesting match up, as both have started the season well. Both teams look evenly matched across the ground and hopefully there is a large crowd there to witness what should be a cracking match. WP, if Lynch is in, just.

I wanted to use a dynamite symbol for this match, because these derbies can explode at any given minute, much like our port derbies.

Milestones: Dion Fleay plays his 100th. Great effort and congrats to him.

Not a bad team by the Royals - lets see if they can gel and turn things around.
Go Royals

Gotta say, great crowd of 5-6,000, maybe more? today. Well done people! Even though I enjoy having my own blade of grass without much company, but hey.......
