    Okay that's pretty funny.

    He can be our Toby Greene - he's phenomenal overhead for a guy with little baby t-rex arms and is phenomenal one on one for anybody (check the way he murked Harry Himmelberg against GWS). Plus he is dangerous as all hell around goals and seems like he would be willing to kick someone in their damn mouth if it came down to it.

    I've always known he had something but I'd be lying if I said I saw this level of potential in him before.

    If he has the tank I don't really care what shape West's body is. He's skilled, hard, can tackle, and has great hands, so in my view he can play midfield when the time is right.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Steve Wallis wasn't exactly muscle-bound but he was one of the hardest bastards I ever saw.

    West looks to be very strong to me. Doug Hawkins was very hard to out position/move off the ball and West has that too.

    2. Schache had a good game.

    3. My doubts about Scott are evaporating. He is versatile and pulling his weight.

    1/ West is surprising me... manic when the ball is in his area and strong overhead. Happy that he's taking his chances.

    2/ Our forward-line looks dangerous when Naughts has support that isn't Zaine Cordy... who would've thought.

    3/ I don't have confidence in any of our defenders that they can halve or win a 1:1 contest... they're a concern.

    Josh later moved to Seymour with his Mother hence the WB connection. He works out at a local gym in Seymour run by one of our Club’s major donors. Still young enough to be a very effective key forward with good skills but has lacked confidence in the past.
