One of the really pleasing aspects to last nights win was how you could really see a united side. So it aint just spin from BB, there was proof. Also, first time in a long time that I saw Preston listed blokes and CFC listed blokes playing together with the same game plan. And the Preston boys made a significant contribution to last night's win. In that second qtr when we rested control of the game from the Pussycats, Wilson, Jones and White were significant.
I also love that there is now real pressure (as I mentioned in another thread) on a few senior blokes from the NBs. Phillips had better have a blinder tonight because there're a couple of blokes who should be in front of him. Jaksch and Jones are, IMHO, in front of Everitt.
It might be prudent to temper enthusiasm from last night just a whisker as it was the Pussycats first hit out for the year... but it was on their dung hill and they did take control early but a few of their blokes did look underdone. The crowd was very disappointing... seemed like only about 500 or so folks there and most were Pussycat supporters... but the 75 or CFC supporters made plenty of noise, especially in the last qtr when the game was in the balance.
Early days I know but gee Fraser impresses, especially in comparison to Webster... the difference in communication skills is a chasm. (Though to be fair to Webster, the players he was coaching were getting the MM mixed messages, whereas BB/senior side coaches and Fraser/NBs coaches are clearly all on the same page).

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