This is a real concern with the “A” Grade having 5 changes, “B” Grade having a mammoth 12 changes from Week 2 to weeks 3…..and the “C” Grade about the same. This instability is very unsettling for everyone in the Club and something that every person within the Club must address in getting as many players as possible available consistently. Chris Mehaffy Senior coach Reserves… with Phil Holbrook A pretty disappointing day in the end—still, with 12 changes from the week before the going was always going to be tough. In what was a pretty wet game we were just out classed around the ground. The boys tried hard, with Neddy Harmer just outstanding and captain Michael Walsh worked his arse off all day. But ultimately we lacked a bit of determination, highlighted by a lack of second efforts. First gamers Jake Van der Hoek and Jake Rollins impressed and with a stronger side this week, with effectively a new midfield, we’ll bounce back against SPOC. Phil Reserve’s coach Pembroke: 5-3-38 Adelaide Uni: 17-11-113 Goals: Rollins 2, Doherty, Tom Evans, Luke Evans 1.

C-Kings 2010 -With Mark Crowhurst The Mighty Mighty C-Kings came into game two, slightly undermanned. So much so that the coach had to bring his boots along and even had to fill in the empty spots on the field for a little over a quarter. Let me begin by thanking Pike, Smith and Evans for coming down from the B-Grade to lend a helping hand. Although undermanned has its obvious drawbacks, and victory is seemingly harder to obtain, it does make it easier to fulfil one of the C-Grades main aims in that if you train, you play. Everyone gets a run in the mighty Glamour and so if you are reading this and feel like a run, come on down to training and get your face out there. Last week we came up against a quality Uni side. They were bigger than us and had about 35 players on the bench which meant that they got away from us with the legs in the end. They had us on size which made marking around the ground and especially contested marks pretty difficult to come by. In the pouring rain, the coach managed to have all of his magnets wash away and be left with a bunch of blue ink on a whiteboard. This made tactical positioning rather difficult although in typical C-Grade spirit it made for a very enjoyable time. There were some standouts on the weekend. We were very happy to have Fuller back in the side - although he is unavailable next week - his cool head under pressure, determination and ability to never make a mistake (even in the wet) make him the ideal candidate for a full day on the ball. The Duck (Quack) managed to play a blinder. He came off with about 10 minutes to go and star fished the rest of the game on the grass in the rain, such was his exhaustion. Nevertheless, he gave 110% whilst he was on the field and absolutely relished the moist conditions. Obviously, as a wet weather bird, this was somewhat expected. Quack. Caplash showed glimpses of good things to come and even managed to have a shot on goal. For the 4 seconds the ball was in the air I think the entire C-Glamour were yelling their hearts out except an inconsiderate Uni player decided to touch the ball on the line. I'm looking forward to Ashtray getting some solid possessions in the future. Big-Bad-Pedlar, the machine, managed to play a quality game all over the ground. We had him playing "wozza's spot" for a while but when we moved him (or more, a blurry blue magnet) further up the ground he relished in the paddock of free space and started to show glimpses of what we might come to expect him in the rest of the season.
