The wins may not be coming, but the improvement is definitely there for Rockbank in the Riddell District Football League.
It has been a tough season for the Rams, but they continue to look at the positives they hope will set the club up long-term.
Coach Gavin Sporle said the morale at the club was still high despite thumpings every week which have left the Rams winless on the bottom of the ladder.
“The effort from the boys is still there and they don’t give up,” he said.
“They’re playing out the games to the last quarter.
“There are only benefits for the club long term and there are still numbers at training and playing every week.”
Sporle said that while the results may not show it, the Rams were improving by the week and they needed to do that for the rest of the season.
“Defensively, a lot of the guys are a lot more accountable,” he said.
“They still have to get better with the footy in hand and control the ball a bit better.
“We’re just trying to make sure they improve across the course of the season.”
The Rams had a bye at the weekend, with Sporle saying it was much needed, with plenty of sore bodies.
But two players who didn’t have the weekend off were Harley and Ricky Cameron, who played for VFL side Werribee’s development team.
While the senior side may be without a win, the reserves side won for the first time this season, beating Lancefield in their last outing.
