We need a forward I think he should've played this week but I doubt he'll get a go now because Davis and the rest will be back for Syd.
I don't think Caff has been promoted off the rookie list. If he has been promoted, who did he replace?

He hasn't been promoted off the rookies list but since both Dick and Rusling are out for the season and only Sharrod Wellingham has been promoted there is nothing to stop McCaffer being promoted and (at least this week) we are very light on for forwards.

The umpiring was dodgy, yes but I think Collingwood got as much as Willi got. As I said, the fade outs occur just after we have put the opposition under sustained pressure and not converted our opportunities. So the 'fade outs' are a result of a drop in motivation. No matter how professional you are it is very hard to keep up your momentum when your team is putting anything on the scoreboard. Add to this, more often than not, players will start to look to do things outside the game plan and thats when things really fall apart. Bang, bang, bang. The opposition suddenly have a bag of gaols and we are left chasing our tails again.

I would love to see some decent stats on the VFL team. Inside 50s, tackles, contested possessions, etc. I think we look a lot better on paper than the scoreboards have been suggesting.

Anyway some pics of the action....

he played, if you look at the pic that has been labeled 'frosty flies high' that is actually Jaxson.

A typcial Presti game. Nothing remarkable but what he did was good.

Got through unscathed and that's the important thing at this stage.
