He'd entered the Fitzroy team as a half-forward flanker. Led and ran well, and loved to jump for a big mark.
He hardly ever held the marks however, and, save for causing a few oohs and ahhs when he flew, didn't have a lot of impact on the game.
This said, he caught my eye, and I chose to watch his progress. He looked like someone who would get there, be there, and stay there.
Soon enough, he began to hold a few, and drill a couple here and there, too.
I was so appreciative of his potential on the football field, that I and a couple of mates started a supporter group in his name.
