‘We’ve been looking forward to this one’: Glass
AFL CAIRNS
PORT Douglas assistant coach Wes Glass knows a thing or two about dominant teams.
He played in six straight flags for Willinga in South Australia between 2004-2009 in the Great Southern Football League. During that reign, Glass said it was his sides improvement year-on-year while the rest of the competition stagnated which resulted in the golden run.
Now a key cog for the all-conquering Crocs, the veteran defender says his side is a superior version in 2017 than the one that claimed the AFL Cairns premiership last season.
“I think we’ve gone forward and the competition has pretty much stayed as it is,” Glass said heading into another match-of-the-round clash with Centrals Trinity Beach.
“We’ve been moving forward but there are clubs that haven’t really improved.
“We were pretty dominant (at Willinga) and the same sort of thing is happening this year. We keep improving, and only a couple of others have."
Glass said the undefeated Crocs had been anticipating their next clash with the Bulldogs, who pushed them to within 13 points in their last meeting at Crathern Park. Centrals suffered a shock loss to Cairns Saints last week but Glass was expecting a response tomorrow as the club celebrate its 1997 premiership reunion.
“We’ve been looking forward to this one for a few weeks now,” he said.
“They should be pretty confident based on their last effort against us down there (Crathern Park). It might be a different story if they were coming up here.
“Hopefully they come out to play and it’s a good game.”
