The reason I have been told is Waterman has asked for x$ per game to play league and it's well above what Claremont would pay colts players, so they won't part with the ca$h. Your final sentence might be accurate. :)
Heard the same thing from someone on this board...

Why's it a secret?
I think it's a well known secret. Was just joking with the ssssshhhhhh

If one were to speculate why it's happened, think about why an 18 year old kid would price himself out of market he's only going to be in for 10-15 weeks ...

Do I need a tin-foil hat? ;)

You seriously think the club is behind this? I hope so.

188cm and 69kg puts him in Tony Notte territory too.
What did fyfe weigh when he was drafted?

Genuine question as my memory is there were concerns on how slight fyfe was which was why he didn't go earlier. Not sure if he was as light as 69kg though. Similar height (now listed as 190cm and 88kg)

Went and saw Jordan Matera play on Saturday. Got there a bit late and left a bit early.

He kicked two goals, one a classic piece of crumbing getting front and centre, cleanly picking up off the deck and snapping.
The other was a contested mark between two opponents, timed his jump better and took it on his chest.

Should have kicked 4. He was up the ground, but still closest to goal when the ball was belted over the back into space, he started 10 or so metres behind the defender but got past him and all he needed to do was touch it with his boot (as the ball kept bouncing to the goal line), he tried to toe poke it but it skipped sideways and he missed it.
The other he grabbed the ball cleanly and sold a dummy and snapped but put it OOF. Was under pressure so not that bad.

Generally very one touch and a great kick to leading forwards and on goals. Good attacking handball too.

Didn't cover the ground as well as last time (ankle injury =lack of training which = loss of fitness). Puts in a burst then cruises, and he appears a bit spent. Want to see him play midfield once he gets fit. Looks like he'd enjoy an inside role as he doesn't mind the rough stuff.

Great pic.

For those too young to remember that was his dads size and shape when he came into WAFL footy. A super athletic left footed half forward ...

Has he got those ground level skills too? His dad could genuinely play as a really tall flanker as a young guy ...
People genuinely forget how good a player Suma was. He was unlucky to play in an era consisting for some of the greatest forwards ever to play the game.
