Good to see about 22 players turn up to Ascot Vale for our last practice match. The team was announced with Choco as captain and a mixture of masters, supers and veterans (o47).  We had defenders, forwards, rucks and interchange. My name wasn’t mentioned at this stage. I knew from the coach (stripper) that Billy O was soft. So maybe Garth wanted me to break open the packs or even have a free reign on the forward line. That was until he said “have I forgotten anyone?”

Keano applying multiple tackles in the one segment of play as well as being President

Steve Oakley being the main focus in the forward line – and kicking the goal

Ronnie Frank – kicked a point and got to tackle Tony Liberatore (not that he noticed the tackle)

Willlow in the forward line and vowing to kick more than 3 goals in 9 years. Let’s just say he went to the defence.

Rod Harrop and Matt Perriam sharing ruck duties

Thanks to Sym for coming along and supporting the boys

Other consistent players: Nathan, George (all of them), Mick, Oscar
