Fantastic result! I love the fact we're churning out the best young talent in the competition.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I hope McLean gets back for a nomination this year, he's deserved one. Great for Dunks.

Best bit of that pic is two of our blokes using Spud Firrito for the role he was born to play.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Great to see Dunks nominated. I'm a fan. To be as good as he is one on one, already, at his age - is super impressive.
He'll be a serious footballer. I'm not phased that his kicking action is awkward, he is still reasonably effective with it and makes good decisions. He's a good size - and the weekend's game was the first time he has played predominantly in his natural position.
Although he is already super professional and mature - a couple of pre-seasons and he'll be a bit of a beast.

Sorry to let the truth get in the way of a good story, but it's Tarrant.
Well done to Josh.. Nice start to his career.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Great effort by Dunks and the Club. We continue to churn the youngsters out. Fantastic drafting over the last number of years.
