TOPIC:

Seva is learning with every game mate. He started at Foxtel and then got thrown into the deep end against good ruckmen at EP and CLA.. He has showed he is certainly able to handle himself at the League level with his rucking and Marking (yeh I saw those pack marks and they were incredible v EF)
His form in the Reserves and HO was good as well and I was a bit worried about his ability at League level but he has proven he is up there with the best.
Will be interesting when Chris comes back as to whether Bill will go with 2 big men but I suppose that is a match to match proposition. Hey could go back to old Footy methods and rest the ruckmen in the forward line giving us that tall forward we so badly need.
He has certainly filled in Frank Stockleys shoes and someone has made the right decision in recruiting him this year.




Have a look at this leap

A quick update on Matt Fowler ... you may or may not be aware Matt had a major operation yesterday on a skin cancer growth and he today is in really good spirits and hopes to be out of hospital in the next couple of days. The surgeon is happy with how the operation went.
Matt thanks everyone for the well wishes he's received from text and FB and is looking forward to getting back on the track with the boys in due course.
