    When you're 7 goals up in a second-rate competition it's probably not surprising.

    Did Schmidt play?

    Schmidt played...didn't star at all.

    I'm not a great fan, but Brabazon clearly best for mine.

    I reckon a few are being kind to Davis. I saw a lot of old habits unfortunately. All game as well, not just when we had it sewn up.

    Yeah, Schmidt played and was good without being outstanding. In the onball division, I thought Fosdike had the better game.

    I'm expecting ORB will bring us one of his superb full match reports later today or early tomorrow and he'll provide the full run down, as he always does.

    Surely Davis will come in for Playfair sooner rather than later. Don't get me wrong, I like Henry and he did his job when Hall was out, but his kicking is ordinary, and he didn't seem to chase all that much last night either. Davo's done his penance!

    Thanks for the feedback. It is really exciting to know that there are 9 players not in the team tonight who could slot in if required (Barlow, Davis, Everitt, Fosdike, Brennan, Mathews, Schmidt, Smith, White) and a couple of rapid improvers (Currie, Faulks, O'Dwyer)

    wouldnt put your hard earned on that happening.

    Davis will struggle to get in while roosy is coaching from the bench, they would have to talk
    Theres not much left to say

    True. Was probably more in hope, than anything. I don't think anyone could deny he's a good player, but as with Schneider, it's looking like the team has moved on to the point that they don't really need him! Though I still reckon there's a spot there for Roosy's favourite little boy ( ) if he wants it.

    I was watching the seniors game again today and in the second quarter J Bolton missed a mark, made a weak attempt to tackle and then didn't chase which nearly led to a Saints goal. No comment was made. Yet if Davis did anything even remotely similar there would be a hundred posts about how weak he is. I'm not suggesting that J Bolton doesn't work harder than Davis, but certainly perception does make a difference even if not entirely accurate.

    I reckon Brother Davis will get a run in the ones again eventually this season, just needs to get the defensive pressure up, he definitely has it in him.
