Good to see Leigh getting a game for u guys this week, its only his second game for the year or something isnt it??
went to school with him so hav always followed his progress, hope he gets amongst it on the weekend, and gets given decent game time too.

let's hope these montagnas, pecketts, fergusons can play well this week and keep their spot in the side. A perfect opportunity to perform and rise up to the challenge. It would really make the rest of the side wake up to itself, and say, gee, we need to lift as well, there could be another young forward or midfielder ready to take our place.

Great to see Frankie back this week, he hasn't played particularly badly at any stage, but the wealth of talent at the club has kept him out of the side.

Sorry, should have replied earlier.

Montagna had a big first quarter but drifted out of the game. However he has been very good all season and thoroughly deserved the opportunity he has been given this weekend.

I'm not sure if they'll play Raph this season but I like what I've seen so far. He'll have to lift his intensity and get a bit more involved in the physical side of the game but you expect a first year player to be like that. He gets a fair bit of the ball and uses it well. I can't wait to see how he goes in the coming years. It will be good to see him play with his brother on the weekend as well.

Ferguson has been one of the most consistent performers for Springvale all season and arguably deserved a game ahead of Jason Gram. He worries me a bit with his decision making when he has the ball but for a smaller sized key position player is extremely effective. While he has played in the backline all season he can also pinch hit in the forward line and take a mark.

Peckett's a ball magnet at VFL level. Stone has been very good all season but seems more effective as an undersized ruckman (similar to Blake) than as a key defender. Brooks is struggling. Houlihan plays a good game and follows up with a poor game and Wulf has been the same since returning.

The events of earlier in the year probably cost him his place in the team for round 1 and since then it's been very hard to get back in. You have to give him credit, he's gone back to Springvale and been close to their best player for the season. I reckon he'll play an important role for the club for many years to come.

I reckon he's got the talent but he just can't string together two or three good performances in a row. He has struggled with his consistency ever since he has been at the club and having been on the list for almost 3 seasons, things aren't looking good.

thanks just his little cousin and wondering if he should move clubs or not
