thats wat was going on there last nite i drove past at 5pm and there was a 30 people there not including players and coaches they should put it on the radios and let people no its on

+ 1 for better advertising
however at 5pm was just youth (i didnt care much)
by 7:30 (I showed up late)- was a decent crowd (still not as good as last year i dont think!)

I only watched 2nd half pretty much, and have trouble recognising most players (elrich, caceres and lewis stand out for me though)
Lewis played down left flank, and I was impressed (he was taken off maybe 10-20 mins to go)
I think D'Appuzzo played LB

and Osman played at RB- and I for once have nothing to critiscise (it is his best position)
(that said it was against lower class opposition)

 

[clarence]

If this match was more a trail match than anything else, why play Osman at all? He'll be gone in two months.  ???

+1
unless Lawrie is seriously considering pushing him to Rb, otherwise it is definately a waste

btw, I think Owens was playing in the middle (looked a bit like him + every1 was shoutin Grego)

Owens and Osman are still in the ACL squad, and who knows what injuries etc are floaring around in the squad...

but the photo of no31 at Gold Coast training. Swear it was Owens??? We all assumed we gave him early release to Gold Coast

 

[FFC Mariner]

Was reported that they decided not to offer him a contract. I know he is a bit rusty but he was pants on Weds night
