What happened in the other games? Good to see the weather holding out on Sat so there should have been some good footy played around the place. Saw the results and most were expected wins but Portland after a slow start (6 goals to 1) looked like they played pretty well for the last three quaters.
Was a good game at districts.
Apart from the first quarter was very even. There A grade coach killed us in the first quarter around the stoppages, helphaving 2 quality ruckman that should be playing B grade give him first use definately went a long way to them winning the game.
What do you suggest ? the B's to have 4 ruckmen, they are in the C's because that's where they're picked not where they choose to play
I went down to Districts this weekend for a look and by the looks of the Districts two ruckman they dont look big enough to be rucking in a b grade side to me. In saying that though they did struggle on the centre taps but around the ground they were great. The one with orange boots was really good looking like he took more of the rucking duties for the day and was one of the best for Districts. Walsh came back from the B grade for Seaton and must have done alright in that game getting second best. Number 15 for Districts (dont know names sorry) in the last half looked like he was an extra man on the ground. I couldnt tell if he was playing up forward or down back but he was taking marks and cleaning up all over the ground. I think in the last 5 minutes he took 4 contested marks and a couple of marks from quick kicks out of defence by seaton. With Seaton having a few players come back from the B grade you could see them help settle the side but Districts too good on the day. Was a great game to watch and looked like it was played in great spirit.
Both of the ruckmen Iron Fist is referring to didn't play on the weekend. One was too sore, and the other had work. Both are experienced footballers who have played at higher levels. So the two that played on the weekend probably wont go through there again this year, much to the delight of Daniel Fisher who started there on Saturday. James Barns is the player with the orange boots, handy player at the b grade level, but hasn't been training so isn't getting picked.
