Poor guy didn't have his own thread so here it is.
Its become a bit of a catchprase, but there is a bit of "Stephen Hill" in Gavin Roberts so you can definitely see why Lloyd liked him (see highlights below). Has great acceleration/speed and a penetrating left foot. Seems to have been susceptible to injury in the past which is what has held him back.

Highlights: http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/220778/gavin-roberts-highlights/Gavin is a highly skilled player that also has good balance. He is capable of playing across the half back line to create and provide run, and is often thrown into the forward line when his team needs some goals kicked. We are certain that Gavin will develop into a very good senior footballer over the next 12 months providing he has a little bit of luck after managing to have some terrible injuries in the past.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Carlton because it is the only decent club.
