Senior Reviews

The new season is upon us. It has been a big pre-season, with good numbers on the track. Come along and show your support for the club throughout the year.

Senior matches start at 12:15pm (Reserves) and 2:15pm on Saturday afternoons. Check the dates because some game days do differ and may be played on a Sunday afternoon.

It was obviously a disappointing result last week against Modbury. With an even first half I thought things were looking positive when we kicked the first two goals of the 2^nd half to lead by three, but from there things went downhill. For the second time in as many weeks, I felt that the opposition just put everything on the line and simply just wanted to win more than us.

A moderately successful weekend in the juniors with most teams winning and 2 out of 5 in the seniors – all of the coaches and players are working hard to turn that around.  We had good attendances at the training and presentation nights and the canteen and BBQs did fine – thanks to all the volunteers who are working so hard to keep the club going so well!

The D's had been decimated at selection with injuries and had many promotions to our more fancied A, B & C grade, but we got a strong side on the park with a good mix of maturity and youth. We had a lot to play for especially being Mark Altree's 100th game for the club as well as bouncing back from our loss to the top side last week.

Congratulations to the following players for polling so well, and for everyone else who played and made 2008 a great years for the Sharks!

Sensational C's go top!

The sensational C’s continued on their merry way towards a top 3 position with an 87 point mauling of SHOC. With several players coming back down from the B grade and with the experience of ‘Hooker’ Loveder and ‘Lemaze’ Jeffries missing, there was always the danger of the team not gelling and taking the game too lightly. This could not have been further from the truth as the Sharks raced away to a 4 goal first quarter lead and then extended it to a ten goal lead by half time.
