So freakin true. F### em. Play with swagger boys. No egg on your face when you walk the walk and show the courage at contests like all of them are doing.Anyone hear Andy Maher’s mini editorial on Rozee this afternoon? Went something like this....
“I tell ya, Connor Rozee is a hell of a young player and he’s fantastic to watch, but I reckon he knows he’s fantastic to watch.
Doesn’t mind gettin’ in the face of an opponent, ruffling their hair, clapping in their face, but he might wanna dial it back a little bit. Reckon there might be a few bigger half back’s in the league who are taking notice and might knock him back a peg or two.....”
Yes, this is the same Andy Maher who bemoans the characters being officiated out of the game and pines for the old days.
Why are we not allowed to have any slightly uppity players? Tredrea chastised for the bow, Chad Cornes for arragance, Chad Wingard for nearly everything he did in a Port jumper, and now Rozee. Had Hawthorn drafted this guy he’d be celebrated as the games poster child.
Nothing Connor Rozee has done could really be described as much more that cheeky or scallywaggery at worst.
