Not sure what the point in swapping Lycett, Ryder and Trengove to the black team for Frampton, Ladhams and Burton was. It wasn't the ruck that was dominant, it was the fact that the midfield was working as a unit. If you were Motlop, Watts or Rockliff you'd be pretty pissed off you were stuck on that team for the whole game, because it was filled with bit players.

Scoreboard guy trying to make it look like it was a lot more of an even contest lol
ladies behind me returned their attention to the game after a long period of general chatter and exclaimed at how many goals they must have missed!

4 minutes left, manufactured 4 point lead for match practice... chip it around to hold on....
Do we ever learn, worrying signs if that is what we are trying to do..

So in other word no change to what we already know because it worked so well for us against the Eagles last year lol

The whites had the jump early thru Ryder, Lycett and SPP as they controlled the centre square. After half time Ryder and Lycett played for the blacks and Billy and Ladhams went with the whites. It sought of went even from there. Billy dropped too many simple marks which spoilt his game. Young guys Rozee, Duursma and Burton basically inked their names in our starting 22.

Re the 6-6-6 it seemed to allow release of the ball from the centre well (acknowledging this was just an internal trial). My impression was that in the first half the players that were lined up on the 50m marks charged into the centre. However in the second half only a couple did, the others holding position near the 50m lines. Interesting to see how it goes in future games.

the maggies
Willem Drew was very good. Started in the midfield and spent lots of time there.
A lot less hugging the boundary and just a suggestion of structure in our fwd setup won't go into details
but reason to be optimistic. There's 2 ways you could look at today
error ridden sure there were moments to put a smile on ya dial but seriously a lot of basic mistakes.
or
1st 1/4 pretty good. Younger players came into the game as it went on esp Pudney who after early nerves
(not the only one) got a heap of it.
Drew in the guts wow will have to play plenty this year :p
Patmore and later in the game Garner showing good signs.
Duursma had it on a string in the 1st. 1 or 2 clangers but :p
Todd looked good got a shoulder issue late in the 1st but played out the game. Goals marks and good decisions.
Kid could be anything, probably needs to put on some muscle in arms/chest.
Ebo up forward looked good and kicked well.
SPP at his bullocking best complete with some dumb disposals but overall a very good game.
Sammy Gray threatened to open the scoring for the black team 40m out couldn't make the distance.
Broady rusty as you'd expect but grew into the game
Didn't see a lot of Rozee and Burton altho' both did some good things
Ryder looks fit and better for a decent rest
Would like to have seen more structure and finesse but early days, a lot of nervy newbies and some stars out.
Glass 1/2 empty says 5 out of 10
Glass 1/2 full says to 8 out of 10.
Take the wheat from the chaff and there are some good players coming thru.

Good crowd
