    Easier than Zephaniah, which is his full name...

            Just had a look at the Book of Zephaniah. Crikey! It's a bit on the bloodthirsty side -- nothing laconic there.

            "I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth/I will sweep away man and beast/I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea" etc

            That's the spirit!

                What a ripping interview.

                All my fingers and toes are crossed that he can make the transition to Melbourne.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    If he makes it, I think he is going to be a big hit. Basically a hit or a miss with no in between is how I see it.

                        Pretty happy with this selection, as he could become the dynamic type of player that is very hard to contain in the modern game.
                        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                            I can't wait to watch his development. Let's hope I get the chance to watch a few more Seagull's games on TV next year.

                                Should be a decent player then, might even steal a vote or two off Juddy

                                    From the deep north, Zephaniah is a Bulldog



                                    A MIXTURE of murmurs and gasps went up at the Gold Coast convention centre when the Western Bulldogs let fly with their No. 88 pick at Thursday night's NAB AFL Draft.

                                    Who's this character with the Magic Roundabout name? And where is Noonkanbah?

                                    We knew it was nowhere near Keilor.

                                    The player in question is Zephaniah Skinner, a full-blooded Aboriginal from the Noonkanbah community at Fitzroy Crossing, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. His rise on to an AFL list is like a northern version of Isaac Smith's adventure.

                                    This time last year Skinner moved from his outback community to Darwin to play for Nightcliff during the Top End's Wet Season competition. From Nightcliff, he was recruited to play with the NT Thunder in the Queensland AFL competition, which plays during the southern winter.

                                    Bulldogs recruiter Wayne McCaw was given a video of Skinner highlights. With the blessing of Simon Dalrymple, the Bulldogs' list manager, he began researching whether Skinner could embark on an AFL career.

                                            Might be able to catch a game wherever one may live as the Seagulls are playing all around the state due to the Burbank redevelopment. Haven't seen fixture yet but told a few kilometres involved.
