A quick update from the Prez,
When the going gets tough
the tough get going!!!
What a week. Seemed we copped it left, right and centre all week, perhaps rightly so but there is definitely a core out there who don't mind sinking the boot in. Not sure I'd want to go to war with a few people who shall remain nameless.
What I will say is there is a very good reason The Age is read by absolutely no one other than solicitors and real-estate agents who just want to see their name in the fine print.........only joking. We do appreciate the attention the ammo's get in The Age but please!!!!!!
Congratulations to the coaches and the senior side for the way they approached the week and the way they went about it on Saturday. The first half in particular was as good a brand of footy that you could hope to see. First gamer Nick Bobeff looked like a 100 gamer and took all before him. Lynchy slotted straight in and a young fella named Watts looks to be finding his feet in a new role!! Still lots of improvement to come and some class to return but we have to string some together, that's for sure.
The twos looked like it was going to be their turn to cop a hiding when the Blues absolutely spanked them in the first half. But as they have done all year they ground there way back into it and really looked the goods. In a terrific standard game the Blues prevailed but our boys put up a great fight.
The Unders turned around a round one belting to beat Ormond at the Gunn Reserve. There is some real quality emerging and a spot in the four is not out of the question. Keep up the good work boys.
The Clubbies travelled to the Snake Pit and cruised home to record an emphatic victory. Back on track and starting their march.
The first XV111 had the week off, great to see a few of the boys at our game.

Great to see a few legends getting to a number of games and not surprisingly, a lot of them backed up this week to show there support. In particular, Jimmy Bennett, Schobes, Trigger, Wally, Parso, Kerry, Roo, Meat, and Crazy thanks for showing your support. The boys do appreciate it.
I am assured Gavin Mooney was at the game, I must have my game face on because I was oblivious but having just watched the DVD I can assure you his big ugly mug was pride of place on the outer wing, no doubt giving plenty to all and sundry. Great to have you back at the Trott mate.
EJ Whitten Game Tuesday Night
TV personality and Collegians Club 18 legend Blair Mc Donough has been selected to play for the AllStars in this years battle. To the uninitiated I know what you are thinking, they usually have a couple of nuffies running around, but don't be fooled, Blair can play.........a lot. I'm tipping they won't rate him, he'll clean a couple up and kick two!! Rumor has it Shura Taft made himself unavailable as he didn't want to jeopardise his return to the purple and gold this week.
