He only had 9 possessions but there were one or two things that Pickett did that were classy.  His run down on TWoody was sensational and his camacarzie run off the half back line almost came off. Another couple of times he looked silky.  It put a smile on my face!

So the year is nearly done, what can we take out this season. Ignoring trades and could have beens, what are your thoughts of our 2017 season.

For me we've had some positives, but my biggest issue is a worry.

We've cooked Weitering, the kid looked good enough to be superstar, and I realise most players get the 2nd year blues, but we've cooked him. I'm not sure he can recover from what we've done to his confidence and game. He's gone from a Rising Star attacking intercept player to a stay at home and mind your opponent dogs body!

It looks like we've turned the the next Harry Taylor into a new Simon White!

It's hard enough to make it as an AFL player, without the club you play for working against you!

Ouch! Not an easy one this week!

Harry's 2nd goal?

Saturday 5th August

Sooooooooooo.

Woosh has released the shackles, and in between flaky moments, they play some good footy. Some decent players in good form - Joe D, Hurley, Hooker, Orazio, Tipungwuti, Zach.

And us, well we're us.

Bombers by 5 goals.

I'll be at this game. I didn't even see a highlight (if there were any) from last week, so I am looking forward to seeing us in action again.

The post game starts,,,,, now!
