Re: Williamstown vs Collingwood - Semi Final

So there's no cap issues?

Not specifically.

We are at 100%, but we are not using all of our marketing component, we have another $300K we could use here.

There is also a clause in the rules that allows you to pre-pay injury money for next year - this could equate to another $250K.

We could free up $550K in our cap if we so chose, but in the interests of balancing the books we have elected not to.

Thanks for that.

Reserves getting pummeled at half time. Jarrad Grant has been disappointing, but he's not Robinson Crusoe.

EDIT: Grant just took a strong mark and goaled from an acute angle to get Willy off to a good start to the second half.

Comrade, just wondering how much of the ressies game you saw? My partners cousin played full forward for Sandy and kicked 6 on the weekend - wondered what you thought of him?

Me and the missus are going to go along to Port on Sunday to watch him play - I haven't seen him go round before - but for a 19 yr old to kick some decent bags this year in the VFL 2's he must be ok. At 6"5 - who knows where to from here.

Ozza I'll answer this one for you. I saw the ressies last week and your partners cousin (Brett Eddy) did in fact kick a lazy half dozen. Is good overhead and a reliable kick but I would question his legspeed and workrate. He is listed at 187cms which is a long way short of 6'5 and those two issues I have queried would certainly hold back a player of that height from playing at a higher level. Cheers Mitch.

Thanks Mitcha. I think the club may be telling fibs re: his height. I was standing next to him a couple of weeks back and would say he was a fair bit bigger the 187cm. His mother says he is 6"5 -so maybe its somewhere in between both!!

Thanks for the feedback though. Will be watching to see how hard he works on Sunday morning in the GF. Cheers mate.
