Cerra may miss several weeks. Again.

Ollie on the other hand seems a yard off and light frame is under attack constantly. I worry he's going to snap. His lack of awareness of the tackler cost us 3 or so times. His effort and gut running is unquestionable. What's the plan for Ollie's development?


We seemed to lose a lot of drive when Cerra went off.

Probably Ollie's best game for the season - despite the lack of awareness that saw him caught with the ball several times - the pressure on the ball carrier seemed off the scale in this match but he seems to be showing some Paddy Dow traits; i.e. frequently caught if he tried to run with the ball because he thought he was faster than he actually was - should be correctable with the right coaching

7 day break will be welcomed. Players and supporters alike.

Great to hold on. But....
Looked like a real mixed bag of perfect, solid, average, and poor passages of play. Consistency essential. Cohesion necessary. We're still chasing the former and the latter is elusive, thanks to injuries/ changes.
That said. We are finding new avenues to goal, and players are developing versatility (3peat Hawks weapon)

Cerra may miss several weeks. Again.
Martin and McG slotted right in. May that continue 🤞

I found the inconsistent umpiring frustrating. I have no idea how htb is assessed.

Batman and Robin are a force. Our centre bounce work was a pleasure to watch. Despite contesting the league's best ruckman. Hats off to Pitto, TDK, and the mids.

Elijah continues to improve weekly. Ollie on the other hand seems a yard off and light frame is under attack constantly. I worry he's going to snap. His lack of awareness of the tackler cost us 3 or so times. His effort and gut running is unquestionable. What's the plan for Ollie's development?

Our big boys were great again, and Owies played his role. I didn't see enough of Durds to comment but maybe that's telling.

A win is a win. A win from -20 i50's is even better. We'll learn lots from that game.

Go Blues

I think there is a fair bit of hindsight going on, 3 Leos. At the time, we just didn't know. Worst case scenario seemed plausible and frightening.
Science and pollies were all on the back foot and unsure, and most were doing their best.
I don't recall any vaccine manufacturer claiming 100% safety; they spoke of the potential -- albeit low -- risk for some people, hence staying in surgeries/pharmacies for 15 minutes after the innoculation before leaving. But as troubling as it was to know, there was a low risk for some folks, as there is with every medication/vaccine.
In hindsight some pollies overreacted and some under-reacted. Few got it right - in hindsight.





Not really Baggers.   By the time the vaccines came around we had a much better view of the virus and its potential to cause harm.  The worst case scenario wasn't happening.  That much was obvious in health care.
