Two quickies and now we're 12 pts up.

A good win after being challenged.  Whiley is a ball magnet at this level but just can reproduce in the big league. Jones really staked a claim for next week with a solid effort.  Big H kicked 3 goals but let's hope we don't hear the calls for promotion because he's still a long way off.

We win by a goal 77-71.

McKay will play one of the last 4 games, not next week.

He has a permanent miss match in height but they are not exploiting it. KJ has done some nice first effort things but is still a spectator if it doesn't come off. Rainbow is also showing it but down back. Fingers have now got frost bite!!
Need some gloves! Smile

Sounds like a good learning under pressure game, and a win to reinforce the learning... Well done NB's.

Thanks for the commentary folks ^-^

How did development boys go?

Why???  He's not ready!!  Play Jones before him or even Everitt that's why they are there.  To allow the kids to develop. He kick one of his goals from a contested mark, the others were gimmies.

Whileys main problem is what he does with the football at any level....at senior level he is too slow both physically and mentally...
