We’re into Round Two of the Shute Shield and as always the phone has been ringing hot with all the news and views from the greatest club competition in Australia. Here’s what we are hearing:

GREAT to see rookie head coach Cameron Treloar get out of the blocks last weekend in his new job as head coach at Concord Oval.

‘Tree’ isn’t trying to over complicate things with the West Harbour boys, keeping it simple by playing for field position and relying on strong set piece work.
