What was the reason given for the pull out ??
Seems a bit strange as you would want as many games as possible with a new group
Could only field 14 senior players and no where near filling a 3rds team

Am I reading to much into this by thinking is there a bigger issue ?? You would think they would be keen as mustard or maybe no cash paid for practice games ?Could only field 14 senior players and no where near filling a 3rds team

Understand clubs have mixed lists for practice games but if correct only 14 seems low between seniors and seconds as you would expect close to 50 on their listEvery club has a battle with numbers for Praccy's from time to time

Why not play a reduced game if need be
Will they struggle in a few weeks time when people want easter or anzac weekend off ?
At the end of the day Roota get the season started and all the pre season rumours will get answered..cheersKyneton aren't the only club to pull the pin on a Praccy match mate. From all repots they will be ok for numbers

What were all the reflections boys? Gisborne must have been ruthless in their belting of Castlemaine, The Dragons started a bit slow but then clicked into gear good signs for us Mitch Dole was brilliant not sure South will be near a finals side though badly lacked options to goal.
Dragon Fly I have never ever seen a team more indirect to goal than South was yesterday - their forwards never had a chance. I also think the Dragons need someone like Ben Anderson or Matt Thornton at centre half forward against the better teams, but otherwise it was a good first up effort. I suspect Kyneton were underdone against Eaglehawk - it looks that way from a distance, perhaps someone who saw the game could give an opinion.
OK 'Fly I will go for:
Gizzy to beat the Maine with or without Saad;
Hurst to be too big and too good for newbies-riddled South;
Borough to just get over the line v Kyneton
[Addo will take some time to settle down new-look Tiges]
Flat to get over Maryburra with Rinaldi to land a pouch-full, and;
Storm to snag a 1st round win over Square with Milney to bag 5.
nah I can't give u those but I can give u BFNL Rd. 2 tips:
yeah, already --- Flat to make it 2 on the trot but by just 15 pts. over Maine.
Storm to also make it 2 from 2. They'll get over E-hawk, by about 27 or 28.
also Gizzy to go 2-zip & belt Maryborough by 40+ pts.
Sunday: Square to open account agst. Bloods who have no forwards. Say 51 pts.
And Hurst to also reach 2-0 for 2014. Forty-five pts. over Kyneton Tiges.

Not a bad first up game as MB tried hard to close the game down as they would get caught for leg speed on the transition
Flat moved the ball very well when allowed to but still lack a bit of size but will worry sides on bigger grounds with leg speed
Cant se MB getting any huge hidings but lack a bit of leg speed and fire power
Pretty well as expected
10 goals plus I supooseWhat do you rate as a huge hiding?

They did well at closing the game down and stopping the Flats runners
that attitude generally does not win games but limits the damage
Albury,Jeff Brennan's decision to quit as South's coach for so called 'business reasons' is pathetic - he knew his commitments before taking the job.
The football world can see this for what it is - 'a copout'.
Albury,
Only people at South will know the real truth
from the outside it looks like he was given the tap and allowed to use the excuse of work but to his defence that could be the case
They could have waited one more week though as they play the Flat this week and we know what generally happens to teams the next game when they sack the coach.
Albury,Crow if he was given the tap then that doesn't reflect to well on the South Committee. Sandhurst lost the first four games last year and ended up making the finals. However I suspect this was not the case.
If his work commitments have increased so much from when he was appointed, then why couldn't the two guys who have replaced him taken over much of the senior duties - they are doing it anyway. This is not the time to walk away from a club. It sends a very bad message to players and supporters.
For the record I do not think South's performance is that bad. They just lost to Kyneton at Kyneton and as the seasons goes on that will happen to many teams. They got within a point of Square. I saw them against the Dragons and the won the ball really well - if they had taken their opportunities the scoreboard would have been a lot closer, but on that day the delivery to their forwards was poor. Getting done over at Gisborne will happen to just about everyone - Square won the flag last year but were given a belting down there.
Brennan found reasons to walk out on Maryborough not that long ago. Now it appears he has done the same to South. If it was his decision to quit then he has really let the club down - badly.
Champ,When people jump to conclusions without knowing any details about why someone drops out of footy, work ,life etc. It can be very dangerous and damaging to that person when people comment on it. Think beyond Blue if want the real reason.
