TOPIC:

Dazzler, IMO we have a few more than 2 or 3 older players who might be considered walk up starts at times...
Billings 25, Bevan 28, Moody 27, Kane 27, O'Sullivan 26, Bateman 32, Sierkerka 29, Donovan 26 while Reimers is 24 but very experienced.
Following them are youngsters such as Hodge, Tedesco, Jacobs, Ali Smith, Stack, who are well established and capable WAFL players.
I don't know off hand the average age of the, as yet not finalised, squad but it would appear to have a good balance of experience and youthful prospects coming through.

I've been asked to include VFL matches in the total games played. I am unable to find the number of games Nick Kane played for Box Hill, so if anyone knows, please PM me.

Also it was mentioned in the liftout or somewhere in the media - can't recall where - that Billings has indeed left. Can anyone confirm this?

Can't say I'd ever seen Vidot as part of the party culture that's plagued the club. Always impressed me as a decent bloke.

Guess he also doesn't fit according to the coach.

yes a decent bloke,but will enjoy playing footy again with his mate vinnie

As far as I'm aware Chris Vidot left the club to start a business, or work commitments overtook him. Either way, I don't believe that there were any sinister connotations surrounding his departure. I always liked the way he played, but seemed to be a bit injury plagued which possibly may have also contributed to his decesion?? Regardless, I wish him all the best as I liked the way he played.
Don't know anything about the current status of Chris Billings, haven't spotted him since he suited up for the ressies in the Swans scratchie.
Don't forget about David Johnson who didn't play against Peel, he seemed to be sporting a minor (hopefully minor) injury to his forearm. At 194cm and 90 odd kilos he will also be very handy down back in a KP.

Billings seemed to be part of the 990AM radio broadcast team on saturday. He was seated between Russell Dower and the other commentator. A bit odd that he didn't have some match day role to play with the club seeing he is a senior player.
