Very disappointing today from a spotty perspective. Thought we lacked pressure through the midfield and Julier gave colts first use of the ball all day. Delivery into the forward line was poor with the ball being bombed onto leading forwards heads. For a big time game it lacked a lot of atmosphere which was disappointing and there was a good crowd. I thought Molan worked well all day up foward but the forward line really missed regular smalls such as langlands and Isbisiter who create great forward line pressure. Over all i thought spotty lacked intensity and run. But i'm sure Choppa will take this game on board to rally the troops to get them up and going. Always hard coming up against quality opposition when their previous matches were won by a combine total of almost 400 points. I think these 2 teams will meet in the Grand Final!
In other games St Albans are starting to find some great form. Altona as i mentioned earlier in the week have got a long way to go being knocked off by Glenorden. They need to go out and recruit some establish quality players to assist with the young ones. They can't just wait for the young ones to blossom on their own for good football habbits are learnt from the quality established players.

You make a good point. Altona have a few old heads that have been at the club along time and do play for the club. But do need some better established older players. At a place like Glenorden intimidation can make a big difference when you have a very young side. Of the older players Freeland is by far the superior with no other older heads that can really make a difference. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong. wolud like to know if there are any others.
In saying that take nothing away from Glenorden. They had set themselves for that game and achieved what the wanted to. From all reports it was a fantastic game, played in good spirit and enjoyable for all watch. Maybe the WRFL should take the positives out of ganes like that and try to promote these kind of games every now and then because they mean a hell of alot to the clubs that play in them.

glenorden v altona was given the radio game but it was switched because of last weeks incident so to a degree the wrfl is trying to promote the clubs down the bottom end of the ladder
just on altona obviously they have some quality younsters but they do need some bigger bodied more experienced players to help the kids, i really thought the vikings would of pushed a few sides this yr and been a lot more competitive against the top teams but so far i think they would be disappointed with their season so far

spot on. altona should have progressed more this season, to lose to glenordan, shows they haven't seperated themselves from the bottom of the pack
