There will be improvement from players like SPS, Jack. Fisher, Dow, Cottrell, Gibbins, O'Brien , and others as they get a few more games under the belt.

Did Martin get a gig?
Our rookies impress me more than some of the fringe players on our list like Lang, ODwyer etc. Sturgess isn't doing his case any harm.

No, he didn't play.

Not sure exactly why. Watching Dale Amos he didn't really elaborate too much. Maybe just a fatigue / fitness issue.

Read elsewhere that Martin and Fisher had heavy training loads recently and were rested from the practice match

Lots of extra gym sessions trying to get them to bulk up ? Both scrawny as.

Tom De Koning looks very impressive and seems ready to go.

I saw his first training session and there was just something about the way he moved that struck a cord with me. He is a footballer WITH athleticism. He is beautifully balanced, has great vision and does not panic in traffic or when the heat is on. Doesnt take crap either. Love him.
You speaking about Willo reminds me of my thoughts on someone from xmas past.....
I've always had my doubts that Willo might be kept off the park, not through talent or athleticism but by outside forces - that is, his body letting him down.
Previously there was a 'lock' that was kept of the park not through talent or athleticism but by outside forces - Attitude/off-field issues.
That player.....Laurie Angwin.

I can't agree more about how impressive Willo was. PS and all but his confidence, poise, and read on the game give him an edge. So hope he stays healthy.
Phelps showed a glimpse. Great if he can develop in the NB's. Honey was the surprise for me. His aggression stood out. Maybe in future Honey and Stocker will deliver the "don't f%$ with me" message at either end. We could do with that!
Early days with some good signs. Hope Mr Russell does his job. Injuries permitting, we could surprise a few people.
Go Blues
