Its good too hear that the injured fella from Saturday is recovering well, was truly horrific too see it happen.
We, as a club, should and will take blame for the stretcher taking time too get out, we made the rookie mistake of not having it by the bench, which had it been any other round than round 1, it probably wouldve been. We all made comment on the field that it was poor and apologised, but coupled with the fact our trainers were in strapping the C grade too, it was an unfortunate set of events that i hope is never repeated. Im not making excuses, it was poor, and we take full responsibility for that.
Also, we dont condone what was said by a select few people in the crowd, again, as players i hope we showed the due respect for the poor blokes condition, which we genuinely were concerned for, even at presentations that night we made mention of it in the wrap up of the game, and wished him all the best.
Hope Valley, i genuinely believe will play finals, because if all sides play like the way they did, C5 is a very strong comp. Probably a big call not having seen anyone else, but I think they will feature well this season. Plus, one of the better bunch of blokes ive played against, so i dont mind seeing good blokes be rewarded with finals footy!
Looking forward too Plympton now, havent heard much about them on here, but they must be a strong side to start with a 26 goal win?
