ah yes.... The 'H' looks like an M

You mean H. Mellody

 

[Futbolista]

I was wondering if you meant Martin Mellody, the former East Fremantle player. Won 3 B&F's.

From memory, he might have then moved to Glenelg and won another B&F. From Vic originally I recall.

Heath surely couldn't be the son of?

Don’t quote me but I’m sure it is his son. I’ve just done a bit of a search and I’m quite sure it is correct.

Cool. Much appreciated.

Once the Vics get a taste of WA they often stay.

Have watched my first colts game for the weekend. SF v S

Close game for three quarters. But South had the strong hands of Cian Bushe-Jones up forward and he was the difference. Well supported by Jacob Donald, Lucas Robinson (Who should be in the main WA 18's squad), the diminutive Zac Godwin, big Byron Foster and Logan Finlayson on debut plus Hayden McCrystal down back.

Subi tried hard but were a little inefficient. Rydn Rae Anthonysz is a gun. Lucas Santich fought hard in the mid. Toby Jones, Dylan Prance and the brilliant Dwayne Ryder had a crack.

who's david?

 

[Futbolista]

who's david?

Oops! Sorry chris_chungus

Or is there a David?

Either way, time for a new vid with you and Ethan counting down a WA Top 20 after round 7?

 

[Lingsface]

Benji Van Rooyen looks like someone who has to be drafted he is just to big and coordinated for a club not to have a go at him.

What is his actual size must be 200-205?

Benjamin Wood has been a good performer for the East Fremantle side, and I see he is only 16. Does anyone know anything about him?

Don't know much about Wood. But so far so good. Moving up our rankings ?

Must be for next year but seems like a key forward prospect and moves well and finds goals in his first games.

I think you mean Drizzy. To be honest I'm a bit over them. They seem to be throwing the podcast together & didn't even do one last week. I love what they are trying to do for colts footy but their lack of research is starting to show. Everybody knew SF would beat Claremont easily as they had 8 out for PSA & they didn't even talk about the fact that Fred was going to be back for SF. Due to a void in weekly updates in the Colts comp, I think we sometimes accept that they are doing a great job. Almost like patting a fish for swimming

Hey that's enough of this red and white bias mate....haha

In truth I hope they come here and add a few words. Let's be honest, I never stop talking. Probably good for others to chip in.

If ever WA and Subiaco have discovered the new Allistair Pickett it is now with Dwayne Ryder. This kid is a sensation. 170cm....who cares!

Darcy Jones is looking great and he is short, lucky for Ryder that small forwards are vogue at the moment.

 

[Elite Pete]

I read some where Walley kicked 2.3g. Anyone see what the difficulty of these shots were? Seems to be his on going issue

Kicking Technique is sound and yet a few shots at goal go off course. Something he can work on for sure. On the other hand he can pull off the impossible shots. Big national champs for him I reckon. Can gain much or lose much.

 

[SaintLoopy]

I hear there might be another U18s scratchy this week. Anyone have any info?

 

[wcebg]

Does anyone have the stats for both teams State 18s vs WP Reserves
