Where do they show the Doughty Shield standings?
Yeah it is tough. I'm not going to sugar coat it.
When you have 35-38 guys turn up on a turn up on a Tuesday, you pick what you can from there.
15-16 for Prems
15 for Res grade
The remaining 4-7 guys are 1st grade for the week.
(training with Res grade on Tues then mix in with 2nds on Thurs)
Cant really work on anything with those guys, just do some drills, fill in some gaps in the other teams, and try and keep their interest up.
The 2nds only train on Thurs, and even then, they also struggle for numbers at times. The 15 guys that train on a Thurs for 2nds also aren't necessarily the same 15 that run out on Sat morning.
So the 2nds work on what they can, Prems & Res also work on what they can with a full compliment, and 1st grade is sort of stuck in the middle.
The boys that are turning up week in and week out for our 1st grade side, need a medal in my opinion. They are true club men. This small group of guys are getting bashed physically and emotionally, and will still be there on Tues at 6pm ready to go another round.
Champions.
I'm not posting this for sympathy or to hear "poor Norths" etc. just to state the reality. Provide some transparency.
Now - look out Uni!!!
Dammers Redemption will be as shaky as the first part of the season. Can't see GPS getting close. Tigers are just getting stronger and closing out games better than anyone in the comp.My GPS friends any early thoughts for the first round of the Dammers Redemption Cup this Saturday v the Tigers?
