Well it was great to see the very very young side of Red Cliffs get up over Mildura. I am surprised more hasn't been said about this on here. South look to be struggling to be competitive and it will only be worse against the top clubs.
Robinvale are always an unknown and it was a surprise that Wentworth who I think (And still do) will struggle throughout the year win by so much. Merbein can take heart that they will be competitive this year.
Irymple obviously are travelling alright and with a good win over Imps may have shown that IMps are finally going to struggle and with news that they are struggling to field a two's team it might spell the end of an era. (But you can never write the green and whites off).
Mildura will have been brought down to earth with the loss knowing they did field almost all thier senior players. This year could be close right from second last to top. (Sorry South, you aren't going to be anywhere near it.)
Good luck to all this weekend and lets hope us Tigers (Yep I have jumped on board as the runner so I can claim to be one now) come away with a good win over the much improved Maggies.
Lets wait for the real stuff to start before making any calls about coming down to earth...Tigers were good, but Mildura were well off their mark...we all know bout Carlton 2005 / 2007....
