Went in and watched a VFL game between the Ballarat Roosters and Bendigo Gold at Eureka Stadium in Ballarat today, the one player that really impressed me was a Roosters youngster called Nick Rippon, small forward, midfielder, an absolute ball magnet with exceptional skills/disposal/tackling. Talking to some of the Roosters fans who hold him in very high regard he's been killing it every week in the VFL and he's hoping to get drafted this year after missing out last year, like his former Ballarat Rebels teammate Matt Crouch he made the 2012 TAC Team of the year and also won the Rebels 2012 P.O.Y. Award beating Matt. Well worth a look in the draft or even the rookie draft IMO.
This got me interested so I checked out the Rebels website, by hell they've produced some quality AFL players over the years that also made the TAC players of the year teams. Oh and a bloke called Adam Goodes!!
