  1. Run rate / Defendable score?

    What should we be aiming for? I reckon our short term goal should be to work up to about 80 runs in the innings. Thats only 6 or 7 an over. Very achievable if we can score of 2 or 3 balls an over. Don't rush and value your wicket.
  2. Ballantyne latest addition to Carlton Mid WA State squad

    From WAFL website

    Peel Thunder midfielder Hayden Ballantyne has been added to the WA State squad that will take on Victoria on Saturday, May 26.

    Ballantyne kicked three goals in his team's loss to Subiaco last Saturday. The 19-year-old from Baldivis who made his WAFL debut in 2005 and has played 26 senior games, has kicked 11 goals in five games so far this season, including four goals against East Perth in Round 4. The training squad now stands at 34 with the omissions of Mathew Seal, Tallan Ames, Justin Sprigg and Blake Broadhurst. Broadhurst injured a shoulder in the Lions win over Perth in Round 5 and was always going to be in a race against time to be fit for the game against the VFL at TEAC Oval in Victoria.

    WA State coach Ashley Prescott said the inclusion of Ballantyne was proof that if players continued to show good form there was still room for inclusion in the State squad.

    "He is just a genuinely quick player who could be used to burst through the middle and he is also capable of kicking a few goals," Prescott said.

  5. Devils plot to end losing streak

    From The Mercury
    Reported by Brett Stubbs

    DEVILS co-captains Brett Geappen and Scott Stephens held player-only meetings in their respective regions last night to address the team's three-game losing streak and try to come up with a plan to form closer bonds with the Kangaroos players.

    After starting the season with an away win, the Devils have dropped their past three games, including a home 52-point loss to Frankston on Saturday that prompted Geappen (South) and Stephens (North) to address their squads.

    Geappen said high on the agenda would be the relationship with the Kangaroos players ahead of Saturday's Bellerive game against winless Box Hill.

    "It is about making that work. We are going to put some steps in place to get the group gelling more," Geappen said yesterday.

    "That is one area we are going to talk about."
