Christies look like they will continue to improve, Crate is doing a great job there. I expected Shoes to win but the margin was a shock & the Roos continue their rise with a win over the Emu's. High scoring affair @ Shark Park does anyone know how many points Aldinga fielded on Saturday, it looks like they had a truck-load of imports?
Yep, Towns result was very interesting and I don't think anyone picked that. For mine Porties were brilliant last year, so either they had an off day, or Edwardstown's players have had a remarkable off season. Townies do have a tendency to put numbers behind the ball and some teams find this difficult to play against, but given they nearly clocked 100 points, they must have done a lot of running forward or changed up their gameplan significantly. Sounds more like the latter.
I guess we'll know more in the coming weeks, but hats off to them for getting their season off to a great start.
