Week 3

At Port Kembla (First Grade)

It was the most frustrating and disappointing day I have had involved with footy as we went down to Port by a point on Sat. Thanks to the guys that we there and to those that let me know they couldn't be there. There were a couple of things that let us down on Sat: commitment, discipline, a lackluster second quarter and a lack of composure in the second half when we had chance to put the game beyond doubt.

We need to improve our discipline and commitment as a club if we are to move ahead and this will start with a set of team rules that will be discussed before training on Thu (go straight to the rooms at 1715, training on the field will commence around 1745). If you can't be at training and have any inputs to this please contact BK ( brett.kelly@ssds.com.au ). This is being lead by the leadership group and is part of us becoming a more disciplined and professional club.

Congratulations to Andrew Newman, Tim Green, Travis Brown, Liam Carruthers, Grant Hoffmann, Luke Rogers, Dale Richardson, Simon Levy, Michael Hutchesson, Justin Larkins and Damien Wallace whom have been selected in the training squad Squad for the SCAFL Representative Side that will play in the June long weekend. Training commences on 20th May at Norths and 27th May at Kiama at 1745 for both nights. If you cannot make it to the training session(s) please contact Neville Hickmott (Sticks) on 0413448434.

We have a two big games this weekend and need as many numbers as possible to get the results we're after. Norths have had a couple of good wins in both grades over the last couple of weeks and we need to be at the top of our game to come away with the points in both grades. Let me know ASAP if you are not available please.
