One of our favourite whipping boys hits the big 100 this weekend and how great is it to see after he has taken so long to find a position to hold down. He & Campbell have been instrumental this season with how they have completely negated some of the best ruckmen that the game has to offer and they've even been clunking a few strong contested marks around the ground.

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
I bet Jordan is glad Macca is still not coach. What a mistake to try and make him into a fullback, when clearly his talent lies in the ruck. Kudos to Bevo switching him back into the ruck a position he enjoys playing.
He has struggled a bit to get his body right and finally he is holding up. Has worked well with Campbell without starring, but has been handy around the ground.FFC: Established 1883

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
Ditto. Like many he is reborn. He was taken in back to back picks (with the Farren Ray pick me thinks) with Liam Jones and for a while there it looked like Liam was in front. Now he's light years ahead of Jones & Ray with his serviceable games. Happy to get Roughy & Macrae (after Ward) for McMahon & Ray. Well done, 100 games is a super effort.I bet Jordan is glad Macca is still not coach. What a mistake to try and make him into a fullback, when clearly his talent lies in the ruck.

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
Congrats to Jordan. It is always nice to see a player who was a doggies supporter growing up as a kid succeed. Becoming an important player for us.Comment

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
He becomes the 3rd member of the illustrious club that are players over 190cm to be drafted by Scott Clayton to play 100 games.
All credit to the guru.
Well done to Roughy also[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
Jordan is one of my favourites....just gives his all against the odds every week.
Just needs to convert a little more often when he has the opportunity. Camhead had the yips early this season and has sorted it out. Let's hope Jordy can straighten his goal kicking up in time for September.Footscray member since 1980.Comment

Ok, game of throners. If Sam from the night's watch put in a couple of solid preseasons.

Re: Jordan Roughead~ 100 games
Given his injury history, it's a great testament to his persistence to get there - well done Jordan.
He's been a solid contributor this year - if he can improve his goal kicking (confidence) he can be a difference maker come September.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment
