I cleared up a few things during the week so I can have a footy fest today. I went down to Richmond to have a good look at Fergus and he was fantastic. Some of the marks were Jonathan Brown like. The kid has a real crack. Looked good as a forward. spent majority of the game at FF but did wonder further up the ground and provided a target. He was fantastic. He needs to work on his kicking especially in field play but he has real leadership qualitites. He is shouting instructions at his team mates. Providing a contest, shepparding. His attack at the ball saw him took a few fantastic marks, split some packs and set up a couple of goals.
Rutten was a bit off today. Not overly impressive.
I know PAfowlr will ask how did the Port boys go. Hassan was good, Ellis was fantastic today across half forward. Works well in tandem with Watts and Pressador. Champion was injured.
As a side note, I had a real close look at Cameron Wood, the 17 year old ruckman with the Westies and he is a nice prospect. Really skinny but does have a dip and good skills. Might be worth looking at him come draft time.
