Carter Capner - Colts Preview
Andrew Thomson
The Colts have a big game this week taking on the reigning premiers in what should be a great contest. The lads had a great performance in Round 4 with a win over the previously undefeated Broadbeach, and we look to carry that momentum through to this week. Every game the Colts play, the group gets a better understanding of how to prepare for Senior football and how to play within the structures and game style created by coaches Ben Jaenke-Cain and Drew Mitchell.
Despite the win, Sherwood have made a few changes to the side with the inclusion of former Sherwood junior player John Baker (back from Division 1 Senior Football with Springwood) and Lachie Ford of Wests Juniors who has returned to his home state. In addition, regular big man down back Will Hunt has returned to the side. Lawson Campbell goes out due to unavailability and the unlucky players are Cooper Crowell and Lachlan Harvey. The competition for spots is really starting to heat up in the 2nd half of the year, which is great for the team as they strive to improve.
Should be a massive game, and the coaching staff think the lads are ready for a big game. the coaching staff have expressed the pleasure of coaching such a committed group, willing to learn about what it takes to progress to Senior Football.
