Not too many people giving Bute much credit on here. It is evident that they have improved vastly from previous years. Perhaps the standard of footy in the APFL at the moment is not quite as good as some people are led to believe.

Not sure the criticism of the United coach is warranted. He's been at the helm for 2 matches after a pretty unusual pre-season and appears to have pulled together a pretty bloody decent playing list. Give him time - United will feature in the Top 4.

On a different note - I bet APFL sides are pretty happy to see Barnett listed in the WWT Reserves team tomorrow. He was dynamite last week against Mallala - I can't remember a more dominant performance from a player (not that means much).
