Well, it’s here…we had our last training session of the pre-season, and we’re ready to climb aboard the bus to Kalgoorlie on Saturday morning (at 5:45am, I believe the players hate me but hey I’m used to that heheh).
We have a reasonable lineup considering one of our imports has not yet arrived and we had a few withdrawals and changes along the way.

#5 Jon Moon (180cm, 75kg, 25yrs)#6 John Taylor (189cm , 75kg, 22yrs)
#7 Nic Donlagic (194cm , 92kg, 18yrs)
#8 Jarrod Balcombe (196cm , 80kg, 20yrs)
#9 Damian Stack (195cm , 120kg, 32yrs)
#10 Andrew McLennan (191cm , 90kg, 33yrs)
#11 Clint Burbage (197cm , 99kg, 25yrs)
#13 Jeremy Nichole (199cm , 92kg, 19yrs)
#15 Nathan Friend (187cm , 77kg, 18yrs)
#50 Tim Kruge (204cm , 111kg, 23yr)
Damian Stack has been training with us for a few weeks now and adds presence and smarts to the team, which helps given we have a few young players joining the group. Tim is settling in nicely, and overall things are coming together. Mike Jones is yet to arrive, we hope to have him here soon.
The opportunity to play the defending champions first up and be present at the unveiling of their championship banner is terrific. We expect a fairly boisterous crowd (is that the ultimate understatement or what) to be there to support the team, and it will certainly be an initiation to remember for the rookies playing their first SBL game (3 in this group being Friend, Donlagic and Nichole).
So time to let the game do the talking…here we go…
