Carrara

Hey Guys

Bendigo is going to be at full strength this week because they will have their schoolkids available and we know that they are going to come out firing. The boys are looking forward to a really good challenge and I think it will be just as much a physical challenge as a mental challenge. The bye last weekend provided us a with a good opportunity to do some testing with the boys. We gave them the weekend off and set about checking their progression in some key areas. Its been a big year for the boys considering their age, the games they have played and all the travelling but by judging them on the training track the boys are certainly pumped and ready for Bendigo. This weekend signifies the penultimate game at the ‘old’ Carrara as its going to be known and I can still remember chasing Mark ‘Choco’ Williams across the half-back flank. When I played for West Coast, we always enjoyed coming here because of the weather and one thing that certainly hasn’t changed is the demountables out the back. This Saturday’s game will be a great opportunity for the community, sponsors, supporters and Gold Coast public to come down and watch us. After the Geelong Falcons game in two weeks, it will be a sad time in some respects, but definitely an exciting time with a state of the art boutique stadium being built and ready for 2011.

Hope to see you there!
