The fence surrounding Le Messurier Oval wouldn’t be out of place at the Tokyo Olympics. It will be interesting to see the outcome, as a couple of heavyweights at the club must be on thin ice.īut look at the positives: they have the best fence in SA country football. Ramblers v MannumĪ select committee of insiders has allegedly been formed to review the Reds’ performance, both on and off the field. The coach’s position in the first five minutes will tell the mindset. Plan B: start McMahon in defence, take on Josh Scott and limit the damage. It’s better to win by one point than lose by 10 goals. Jervois’ weakness is its defence, but can Imperials exploit it? Start McMahon in the midfield and use his bulk, experience and football smarts try to move the ball quickly and try to isolate the Jervois defence one-on-one with John the Boras. Plan A: win the game, first and foremost. Imperials need to signal their intent early.

The top end of talent at Jervois in coach Tate Silverlock, Adam Diamond, Zane Barry, Peter Zarantonello, plus Scott and Gibson gives them too much firepower going forward. Ryan Farnham and Aiden Morrell have had their moments, but the big jobs are in front of James Clarke and Lui DeMichele, the big man Tony Gibson and gun forward Josh Scott, as Scott and Boras go head to head towards the 100-goal target. God help Imperials if John the Boras goes down, as he is limping through the minor rounds but still averaging seven goals a game.ĭwayne Wilson has got the talent – he’s brilliant at times – but he misses more than he plays.Īt the moment Imperials are the fourth best team in the competition and clubs are lining up to play them as they sense a soft target. He has been a great old soldier for the club and reminds one of a coach in waiting. Luke Harrowfield is still their best player, but last week they rolled out Daniel Girdham, who enlisted in the Boer War. Some young players have plateaued and haven’t reached the natural improvement expected, and they are relying on the old firm. Imperials have been carrying a handful of players for a few weeks. I’d say Scott McMahon is coaching for his life or a contract extension for next year, but facing Jervois – who take no prisoners – he has been backed into a corner with several key players sidelined with long-term injuries. They have slid to fourth spot and face a tough run home and I can’t see them regaining the double chance.

The depth at Imperials will be tested this week. Plasdene Glass-Pak’s last acquisition was in May 2011, when the company purchased NSW-based wine bottle distribution business J.McCarthy.Imperials will have a tough time making their mark on the rest of the season, Peter Dalwood predicts. “We are delighted to take on this new challenge, and our team are working hard to provide a seamless transition,” says Pearson. “With similar business models, many of the same or complementary manufacturers, clients and product range, as well as a like-minded approach to personal service, this strategic purchase makes sense,” Pearson said. We are delighted we now have the means to merge these two wholly-Australian family businesses, and grow together”, said Ken Pearson, Managing Director, Plasdene Glass-Pak. “Whilst we’ve had a distribution centre in Perth for more than ten years (and Adelaide even longer), it has certainly been challenging to penetrate and grow the business in these regions to the proportions expected, such is the strength of the well-established market presence of Silverlock and others. Plasdene and Silverlock also both provide contractual distribution for glass manufacturer O-I and plastic packaging PACT Group companies, amongst others.Īlready supplying hundreds of millions of glass and plastic bottles, jars, containers and closures annually, a merged entity will further enhance the buying power and supply chain capability of Plasdene Glass-Pak. In addition to complementary product type portfolios, markets served and capabilities, both are family businesses with similar cultures and service-focused enterprise philosophies. The acquisition of independently-owned Silverlock packaging will greatly enhance the size and performance of Plasdene Glass-Pak in South Australia and Western Australian markets.

The merged entity will increase the size of Plasdene Glass-Pak by more than fifty percent and expand the company’s geographic coverage, product offering and team of packaging-solution salesforce. Plasdene Glass-Pak, a privately-owned, supplier of glass and plastic bottles, jars, containers and closures has announced the acquisition of West Australian-based Silverlock Packaging.
