Thanks for some great games Lenny. Really hope all goes well for you in your career to come. Are you doing Weights? Watched the Saints Play the Western Bulldogs last night. Their play on at all costs had us under pressure especially as their foot skills stood up. But the Boys proved their ability to tackle hard and interupt and frustrate the Bulldogs. Our Spoiling in pack marking and keeping the ball on the ground was very effective. At least against the Bulldogs. Just a couple of thoughts Lenny. Better game by Zac Dawson. Proved to me that he has more potenial in the ruck and as a stopper on the half back line. The Club should keep building him up fitness wise and develope a diet that will help put on muscle. On many occassions in the past he has appeared inadeqate and timid. I blame the Club for this, and another thing, involve him in strong mateship roles with the other regular players, boost his confidence and help him out. Aplayer who should get inside his head is Brendon Goddard. He knows what it takes to go forward, and what it takes to build respect. He dosen’t tap his heart for nothing. I’ve never seen Zac touch his heart, but I believe one day I will. kenneth william mckersie.
