A great team effort on the weekend (120 to 15 in our favor) which puts us at the top of the ladder.
We got the usual outstanding performances from Cosmo (ruck-roved and settled into the role beautifully), Jimmy (owned center half back), Wigga (moving on from most improved to deliver rock solid defense), John (big marks in the forward line and some great desperation in the back-line), Dazzler (goal of the day - a six hundred meter torp), Denny (effortless ball gathering, superb work in the packs) and Big Waz (Mark of the Day, three goals and the biggest hangover).
Matt and Clay played their first game for the mighty Roos and showed they are going to be big contributors during the year. Matt ran all day (wish I could say the same), jumped under packs and gathered plenty of important possessions on the wing. Clay dominated the ruck and gave the rovers plenty to work with all day. Welcome aboard lads!
While all of the above contributed some great footy, the highlight of the day was the performances of Mick, Jet and Jeff. Mick and Jet both attacked the ball hard, delivering some important defensive and offensive plays - we know who the early front-runners for most improved are... Mick, Jet... AND the top goal-kicker in the CAFL Jeff Finsand! Bewdy!
Roogards,
Bruce
