Might be a tough game, Southport has a lot of quality ex-AFL listed players.

Does Billy still play there?

Yes he re-signed.

He's doing a Barber apprenticeship according to his Linked In up in QLD.

If I catch the game I'd be interested to see how Crossley goes for the sharks.
I would be comfortable if we signed him to our AFL list as ruck/forward depth.

Lukas Webb and Ghosty Lynch also on the Sharks list

Fingers crossed Khamis plays as a forward this time as well, it'll really add another string to his bow.

Hope he does play forward again, but also Schache is missing.

Cody Raak picked in the forward line again. Played there last week and hardly touched the ball, although he had a chance to put us in front in the last.

This should be played as a curtain raiser at Ballarat. As it is it will start whilst the AFL game is still going.

Good to see big bird playing his first game.

Good question. Is he allowed to?

I'm at the ground still. He's running laps with Crozier.

I’d have thought given he didn’t get out on the park, he should be able to.
