Kalgoorlie 2 1 1 0 162 172 94.19 4 Kambalda v Kalgoorlie a Saturday evening affair at Kambalda West, can the Mines 3 0 3 0 252 380 66.32 0 Eagles break through for win number one this year, like the Roos did last weekend, Kambalda 2 0 2 0 75 255 29.41 0 though the Roos would love to make it two on the trot as they start to gel as a side. RESERVES Kambalda whilst dished a 99 point defeat by Railways were at times impressive, Boulder 2 2 0 0 175 78 224.36 8 there are some good solid players for Kambalda, with a defence led by Troy Murphy Kalgoorlie 2 2 0 0 131 104 125.96 8 with his booming left foot kick, Guy Smith is a Human hat rack, very tall and effective in the ruck contests, skipper Adam Jukes knows only one way and that's hard at, Mines 3 1 2 0 196 175 112.00 4 while forward Jamie Hayes, moves well and has a great set of hands, when his starts Railways 3 1 2 0 235 229 102.62 4 to covert his chances into goals Kambalda are going to find themselves well into a Kambalda 2 0 2 0 69 220 31.36 0 match, I'd be surprised if Coach John Reed didn't find some positives that can be COLTS worked with his lot going forward. The Roos on the other hand are always up and Kalgoorlie 2 2 0 0 175 107 163.55 8 about after a win, and last week was a good one, trailing by some margin, to kick many consecutive goals in the middle stages to beat Mines in the end in comfort. Railways 3 2 1 0 243 153 158.82 8 Jake Conti may like Butterflies, but he moves around the field with some grace and Boulder 2 1 1 0 215 127 169.29 4 will only get better for the Roos and our league, Alex Stewart is quite versatile for a Mines 3 1 2 0 236 190 124.21 4 big fella and Rhys O'Loughlin had his best game after missing last season through Kambalda 2 0 2 0 40 332 12.05 0 injury, and Mark Leyssenaar against his old side can be very good on his day. 2012 LEADING GOAL KICKERS The Sunday clash of the Panthers and Tigers is perfectly set up, forget the Grand Final Result of 2011, both teams at the moment are very different and we know the LEAGUE RESERVES COLTS Tigers have been effective in the recruiting stakes.

Hinchliffe (Rail) 7 early season form of Alek Oliver, who may find himself around Adam Hunter possibly C. Brunnemeyer (Rail) 5 T. Moran (Rail) 5 J. Hamel (Rail) 5 during the afternoon, Skipper Rhett Foster who is the hardest ball winner in the LAST WEEK’S RESULTS GFL, and Brody Johnson who has been playing forward this season and kicked 5 goals against Kambalda, the Panthers would do themselves no favours by being too Kalgoorlie 18.9 (117) d Mines 14.5 (89) League Adam Hunter conscious but may have a supply of defenders who can have a crack Railways 20.11 (131) d Kambalda 4.8 (32) at the ex AFL Star, as the Tigers also have some quality amongst their group, Matt Kalgoorlie 6.12 (48) d Mines 6.5 (41) Wellstead after an enforced absence has returned to the playing field in good form, Reserves Railways 14.10 (94) d Kambalda 4.5 (29) and does enjoy a big match like this, Chris Adams is a stylish mover, while Chayne George is a quality Tiger.

I am only quite new to the club and I think everyone would know more than I do so it is very difficult to come up with something. One thing I would say is that the players and the club have been very supportive and accepting of myself and my family. Sometimes there are difficulties in being accepted and made feel welcome in a small town but Kambalda appears to be the exception to the rule.

With Adam Hauswirth, President Umpires Assoc. “BBBBaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll” and “How did he get rid of it?” These 2 sayings are by far the most uttered words at any game of football, on any given day, at any given ground and in any given grade around this great country of ours. Much to people’s surprise, a player picking the ball up off the ground, raising 18 Burt Street, Boulder his eyes and straight away being tackled does not constitute a “Holding the Ball” free kick. As promised in last weeks budget I am going to give all of the readers a Telephone (08) 9093 3160 - Fax (08) 9093 3162 better understanding of the holding the ball rule and how we as umpires interpret Email: [email protected] this rule.
