I stand by what I said, my point was that Parker is far from Champ standard & I couldn't believe there weren't stronger options available for the team? That is where I felt Monarchs weren't giving their all, for example I could never imagine a team like Poole with their winning mentality, settling for a 3.00 NL reserve in their team. Parker did exactly what I expected, only beat a non-finisher. Well done to Mark for doing that though. Delighted for the middle order pairing, feel some of the criticism they've received has been too harsh. Two good scores against weaker opposition, can they continue against the leagues stronger sides?

Unsure how to describe tonight other than a massacre.    Worky possibly the worst side I can remember seeing at Armadale in a very long time. Looked like complete novices.    Well done to Vinnie for finally managing to do more than a corner at his third attempt. 

Seeing as I was there I can confirm most witches we’re trying the inside line for sure! 

How refreshing to see Kye gating well again tonight, along with passing from the back. Also very pleasing to see Jonatan's confidence visibly go up in each race. Well done Monarchs, a nice surprise tonight. Also good too see Jacob doing well tonight. Always liked him as a Monarch.  Hopefully Tate can get back to full confidence/fitness soon.

I thought Mitch McDiarmid was very impressive for 17 year old who had never seen the track before. Scunny out both cups and have already dropped points at home in the league, its going to be a short season (7 more home meetings).

I thought Worky looked suspect at the start of the season .Its looking grim now.Voulas and Ziske are struggling and they were relying on them showing a big improvement .IMO
