Got a match report from the Myrt vs Raiders game Raidrboy?
Could nt make it to Bira park yesterday
It was a fairly high quality game with Raiders jumping to an early lead and, then it evened out into a good tussle until about 10 minutes into the last quarter when the Saints experience saw them pull away. For the saints I was very impressed with a guy called Aaron McIllroy and Brendan Hehir was as dangerous as ever and kicked 6 goals. Other good players for Myrtleford were Carey and Macfarlane whilst Raiders were best served by Mark Doolan and Brendan Way.

Is Wodonga gone now Twitts out for at least half the year?

How bad is Albury? just a bad day or they going to battle this year?

Are the Hoppers the real deal?

How annoying was the ground announcer at Bunton Park on Saturday?

Any one see the Lavington V Wangaratta game. How did big Dean Pound look and did he ruck at all. Also how did Simon Bunyan go, did he play on the ball at all, he is the real deal if you ask me, plenty of heart I would be suprised if he doesnt make a big impact as the season wears on.

Watched Wodonga today hard to gauge against very ordinary opposition but I don't think they have covered some of their losses. Twitt didn't play nor did the big ex-WCE player but the Jackson boys are over rated in my opinion as I thought several years ago when watching them at Wagga.
This was March 10;after watching Chris Jackson yesterday vs Albury i reckon it was as good a game as i have seen a forward play.kicked 4,gave a few away from close range,contested every ball in his area and his defensive pressure was as good as you would want to see.I think you may want to reconsider your opinion of him raidrboy.

yarra won by 7 goals. how mcmillan and the oswald boys fair? Who were the stand outs
Thought McMillan was standout forward on the day always looked dangerous. Lance Oswald started great but copped a heavy nock then struggled a bit, while Scotty rebounded excentlly off half back although got caught a couple of times trying to take them on. Good performance by Yarra though

Played well i thought,very surprised he wasnt named in Albury best.Gave away height but created run and hit targets which was Alburys downfall for most of the day.
Chris Jackson was BOG and looks like a very good pick up for Wodonga.

Hillary was servicable at best, missed too many targets to be in the best players one terrible switch in the last quarter which missed everything and became a 50/50 ball. Trys hard though and should be okay for Albury.

Did he play in a Lavingtons premiership side?

Think on the clearance death knock he transfered to Holbrook where he played the previous year.

My opinion of him will change when and if he does it consistently.

Bad sign Albury couldn't win with Wodonga coach Jarrod Twitt out of action before half-time with a broken leg and the game still in the balance when he went down.
Will be a long year for the Albury defence with a lot better forwards in the competition than Chris Jackson with all due respect.
Jackson could have kicked a bag, but had the yips something chronic in the second quarter.
Strong unit though.

Any reports on how the young Myrtleford ruckman, Justin Maybury went?

Did anyone see Wang vs Lavi game on the weekend? how did young Jai Canny & Griffin go??
Saw this game and both did enough to suggest they will play a fair bit of senior footy this year.
Another kid Nathan Waite kicked 5 goals on debut and in more good news they have signed up 3 or 4 from Northern Bullants.

Yep. Marc Lord, Ed Clarke and Matthew Pell and Higgs of course who played for Wang.
Does anyone out there know how good these blokes are and what sort of players they are and if or not they played seniors at the Northern Bullants.

Clarke was a rookie at the swans a few years ago, think he and higgs played half a dozen or so games in the 1's last year for the Bullants

Clarke is a gun, played A grade at Uni Blues another rumor sweeping Melbourne is as follows
Corowa with a lack of bigmen are throwing the the town (around $2000) a game at Ambrose to convince him to go up the highway again, even flying him up & down to Melbourne as part of the deal. Apparently the club where Newman is assistant coach has him in their sites and he lives about 2 mins from there ground, it will be interesting to see which way he goes.

Yea ed clark and higgs played ones with the other two in the mix for selection on a number of occasions. Pell is a winger, lord a solid forward or back flanker, clark and higgs on ballers. All quality players. should do well at o and m level although it may take a game to adjust to the more mature heads and bodies around them. Will the supporters see them as outsiders or embrace them?
