Not trying to deter you I just think its pointless in general to mention injuries as every team has them / players missing for work and other reasons. Injuries on the day are probably a valid point but no use talking about what players could be in the team if it wasn't for injuries from past weeks

I'm with jackpot, I'd rather know if a game was played without a bench! It definitely has an impact on a teams ability to perform on that day!
Or is this more of a deflection of what is really going on?? I've heard on the grapevine there is a couple of senior lads not happy with the fact Mergs won't wipe their bums for them like their previous coach would and It's having an affect on the young guns of the team!! Any thoughts??

Im sure everyone has injury issues, I certainly know Willunga are having more than their fair share of injury problems at the minute. Without naming them there were as many as 10 missing Saturday, and even with the depth at the club this is still a very testing time for the Dees. To get a win on the weekend, despite the creeks being depleted was a great win for the club and hopefully with the return of some important players this weekend hopefully they're able to compete and beat the Bays.
On Murgs. He's been great, the numbers on the track and injured guys on the sidelines at each and every session tells me the players have enjoyed his input and are not having any issues with him whatsoever. I'd worry about your own backyard Eclipse rather than relying on grapevines for your information.

I saw Ben "Bull" Baxter got the call up to the A's a couple of weeks ago BJ - how far away is Beefa?

What a great comp we have this year. 5 games that could go either way this week.
Mt Comp v VH. 2v1, both undefeated... Dogs favourites at home
Bays v Will. 3v6. I still think the Dees will improve as the year goes on but Bays should win this week.
GPE v Strath. 4v8. Goolwa surprised me with their losses to the top 2 and the cogs are starting to turn at Strath. Tough to pick... Strath.
McLaren v Pongy. 7v5. Who knows... I tossed a coin and it came up muddy!
Yank v Creek. 10v9. Going with yank - long flight for the Hawks!

Would be surely pushing around 40 years old now?

Victor have already won as many games as they did last year, and from the games I've seen the improvements are incremental rather than chalkncheese. That shows how even our comp is but maybe adds weight to saying the standard has decreased.
I might think differently after VH v MC this week but at this stage I'd say yes, the icing has gone off the top tier but then the bottom clubs are better making for better, more even contests across the board (although apart from Yank, it was really competitive in 2014 too).
2c each way maybe but thats my thoughts from a small sample size - others might think differently.

Turning 40 this year according to a Google search. correct me if I'm wrong but pretty sure he's lived in Goolwa for years?
