Saw that Westoff kicked 5 for the 3s on the weekend. Any tigerheads have a heads up as to how this kid was travelling before that? ;)

If this kid is anything like his brothers and we start playing him, I'm going to be sick.

Justin Westoff is the biggest hack.
I will take a guess and say that you rate him bagging 5 in the 3s on a par with the steamer when he bagged a few in the 3s back when. ;)

Can't say i recall seeing him, but he's had a few bags in the 3rds this year.

Can't/won't get promoted because of being built like a twig and even the 2nds being too physical for him, or possibly the coaching staff see something lacking in his game ( defensive effort maybe? ).

He was a late rookie draft pick, so I think it's fair to say he's got a lot of work to do.

he kicked 5g the week before also, I reckon you're right Hoff is the sleeper. fair dinkum though just how well did FJ scoop last years draft...even ea of our rookie selections is featuring in the best most weeks at VFL...Gilligan BOG, Hicks has been starring, all reports are Irish is progressing very nicely...Contin going alright, with Polly prob stiff not to be in seniors and RR, well a mistake lifting him earlier in preference to Goo

I particularly liked this comment from the report on the coburg website

Alroy Gilligan was a dangerous player playing on a wing and in the past year or so has only played as a half forward,is now maturing into a great midfielder.

It does look as though FJ did a great job last year. Westhoff it seems has done everything asked of him so far. Good to have a player like that developing nicely in the 3's and hopefully soon 2's.
