Best of luck and hope you remember it as a fantastic night.

Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.
Roughead to tear it apart.
Go son!
I can smell a NAB Rising Star Nominee cooking!
Pretty excited to see how Roughy goes tonight. Either way, he's going to be a good player and a real steal at 31.
Worth re-mentioning he has always been a Bulldogs fan as well so a big night for the kid. Great news for him.

Looked a likely type. Can jump and take a grab.
Watch ya back Minson!! Great first game
Gave us more than big Will has this season. Great to have competition for second ruck. Good signs.
Thought both Roughy & Grant showed enough to keep spot in side for next week.
I was very happy with both his ruckwork and poise around the ground. Good signs.
Liked his game, occasionally got lost in the transition back to defence and that miss from 25 out was a shocker but he moved well, took some nice grabs and his tapwork was good.

Dream about me
Great debut from Roughy I thought. Moves well, seems to have good awareness, and I liked that grab he took in the 3rd quarter - shame about the missed goal . Good job for the young fella!

Impressive debut for a second year ruckman.
Second and third efforts were a highlight. Some bone crunching tackles and deft taps. His ruck work is continually improving and he used a nice side step a few times tonight to palm the ball down. Similar to Hudson who does this very well, but he's got a bigger leap than The Beard.
Some very nice marks and he's got nice skills aside from that soda he missed.
There was real excitement amongst the Dogs fans whenever he got near it.
I must admit, I was pretty excited in my living room when he got near it too.
Showed a lot of good signs. His marking and leap are quite good. He's looking very mobile, but could do with a bit more strength through his core and perhaps a little more weight. His miss of the easy goal was disappointing, but besides that, a good first game.
Wonder if he'll stay in v the Saints or if we go back in with Will. I guess we'll know more once Williamstown has played.
