I've watched our game against the Fluffy Ducks twice - sucker for punishment. It was as if the players had a Valium sanger before the game
I find myself still perplexed by the performance so drawing any firm conclusions would be perilous, to say the least.
Like everyone else I was buoyed by the efforts from Hollands, Cowan and Cincotta. And they'll no doubt play senior footy (and play well) this year at some time. Although I picked Cowan in my best 22 for round 1, I doubt it'll happen. I think our backline will be Newman, Weiters, Young, Saad, McGovern and Marchbank. Though Doc could very well start in defense. As Pauly wrote I think taking newbies into a big first game of the season could be risky. Maybe 1 (Hollands?) but that'd be it.
After that shocker of a first qtr, we scored 16 times to 13. Missed opportunities sap confidence.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
