The Friday night match was a little less exciting than Thursday - ex-Magician old man Zorko (85) showed up and did enough to the Wanderers, however Naicos (92) and Howe (52) got their TOG heavily managed. Zac Bailey (94) had another consistent return albeit a little underwhelming in a 25 goal performance. Houston (78) was very close to getting a call up off the bench but the decision has been made to roll the dice. Swadling (109) had another stellar game, the coach really did want to give him an opportunity in the GF but was perhaps just a little scared - many more years ahead for Sam though. The Saturday matches should also prove very interesting starting with the Blues vs Dockers - many big names including Walsh, Brayshaw, Young going against Bolton and Wilson.
Wanderers have bounced back with Walsh (122) and Brayshaw (113) topping the ton, plus a solid Young (82) score. The Magicians could only counter from a pair of 94's from Shai Bolton and Billy Wilson. Progressive scores Wanders 825/8 leading the Magicians 605/6. Wanderers have Lever, Chandler & Khamis against the Magicians Dale & Fitzgerald this afternoon.
