Magpies Colts looking for crucial win
This week sees our young magpies travel to Wilston Grange to tackle the Gorillas on their home track.
Coming of a tough, but victorious road trip to Noosa, the squad has put in a nice solid week on the track in very cold conditions. It was very encouraging to see good numbers, a great attitude, and no excuses being offered by the players this week. It all points to a renewed focus and the lads are ready to build their form and ready to give the finals a big shake.
This week the Pies welcome Jack Simonson for his first game of the year, the long flowing locks of Big Jessie Rigsby- Jones, back from work commitments and have Jake Farrell, Matt Mazzorelle, & Matt Davis to suit up at Colts level as well. The Colts also wish Big Aaron Highlands and solid Half Back Ryan Vagne good Luck with their promotion to the Reserves.
So far this year the side has won the games it was expected to, but haven't been able to claim a big scalp, and the goal now is to build a game style and method that will allow them to take that next step and really produce the type of footy they are capable of. That starts this week, so come on down and support your young Magpies as they build towards a something special.
