I was pleased with the win. You don’t go anywhere as a football club without winning games like that. A cold winter night, with key players out, against an amped up opposition. It wasn’t a match you’d tell your grandkids about, but we got the job done when we were expected to. Take the four points and move onto the next challenge.
not many KPPs out Friday night. we need to stop saying that now. pretty good number of our starting 22 fit now.

ABNS said key players, not KPPs.
We still have the following key players missing from our best 22 due to injury:
- Weitering
- Pittonet
- Cerra
- Williams
- Cunningham*
- McGovern*
- McDonald*
*You could argue either way about the last 3 on this list, but in terms of structure, McGovern and McDonald were very important in the first couple of games this year. Perhaps Marchbank and Durdin will be the longer term replacements given the Macca's durability issues, however it still leaves us 2 capable key defenders down.
That being said, once Weitering, Pittonet and Cerra are back we should have no more excuses. Of course these won't be the last of our injuries for the year, but we will just have to deal with them accordingly with the next best available.
