With a sign last week that the seniors may have clicked into form after their 9 goal last term, all will be hoping that that form continues into Saturdays big game against the Magpies.
After 7 games the coach, Sav is now learning who he can and cannot rely on in tight situations, and i am confident that we are now heading into a period where we will get better each week. At the end of the day, our destiny is in our own hands and we must continue to play at or near our best each week if we are going to have a say in September.
With the Reserves continually providing players in form, it is a matter of finding out which ones can cut it at the next level. Damien Garton has been terrific since his move over from Zillmere, he has provided experience and pace and works really hard. Dan Gaunt is another who although has not kicked alot of goals, has been a target up forward and once he finds his kicking boots will really have an impact on this competition.
Ben Miers was terrific last weekend and showed just how important it is to have an experienced ruckman in the team. With the loss of Jono Almond and Rob Grealy, he stepped up and did a great job. This week he has Jono back to assist and the two big guys will help our on- ballers get first use of the ball which will be essential if we are to win the game.
Shane Hamilton showed last week why he was our 2008 B & F winner and after a slow start to the season due mainly to injury, his leadership qualities always show through and he is now getting back to his best form.
Brent Evans and Cale Agosta have been the shining lights thus far and with Grant Wilkinson and Mathew Nuss getting better each week, the signs that we are improving are deffinetly there. One player we have missed from last year is Tynan O'Donnell, who has had an interupted pre season due to injury. He has played the last few in the reserves and will hopfully come into contention over the next month.
