Round 14
A wet and
blustery day normally makes it extremely tough for players to kick goals, but
our Team-of-the-Week selections made light work of the greasy conditions.
Zane
Parsons, last years leading goal kicker, was the best with six majors for South
Fremantle.
A week is
a long time in football, just asked Stan Magro after Western Australia’s dismal
performance against South Australia. Stan bounced back to prove his critics
wrong and earns this week’s coaching honours after Perth upset West Perth’s day
of celebration.
Interesting to note a large number of State players were absent from their
team’s best, suggesting Stan may have been right on the money when he said the
side did not play to its potential. We all know potential is a very dangerous
word in football!
Can Swan
Districts prove most people wrong and make the finals this year? After winning
one game last season, not too many people gave them much hope. Swans have done
a great job on and off the field and it may encourage a few other clubs to have
a good clean out and bring some new faces and new ideas. Apparently Steve
Turner will not let the players use the “F” word, but will continue to play his
best players on the ball!
