Did not see the game Saturday against North Ballarat Roosters reserves but heard the country squad went down by 5-6 goals. Still not great team play and beaten in the middle by the older bigger bodied opponents.
3 players were to be cut. Lieshout was one, don't know about the others.
Know that 11 Gippsland Power players made the final team which is a fantastic effort and everyone associated with the development in that area must be very proud of the lads. And they only lost by 2 goals today against Geelong with half their team missing. Some very good footballers coming from down this way!
Relatively low scoring game between VC and NB. Country got 7 goals Fraser with 3 and Neagle with 2. These are second-hand reports as I was not there myself but told that better players were Bowe (onball got clearances), Drum (so cool under pressure! only played half game), Fraser (presented well from CHF/FF and kicked accurately), West (rucking against full grown opps), Driscoll (played FP and made most of limited opportunities). Dowd (added after first trial fantastic effort to make the team - a real leader in the backline. And Carlisle who played on Jurica and never stopped trying.
Still not totally happy with the application and movement going forward was Harris I was told but is confident has a good team to be competitive in the championships.
Anyone know the other 2 who were cut?
think maybe Johnson from Geelong was one.
P.S. Ellis didn't play.
