Thanks to every one that went and bothered to write up a report.

Was expecting a longer report than that WW, did training go for 15 minutes or a couple of hours?
And you would have got it .....if i had been able to get a caffeine fix (Melbourne Coffee)

Melbourne has been voted as having the world’s best coffee



MELBOURNE has beaten Rome, Vienna and Sydney in being judged to have the best coffee in the world.

Travel website booking.com surveyed more than 1000 of its users from around the world and found Melbourne was well and truly on top when it comes to coffee.

Barista at Brother Baba Budan Jos Turner said Melbourne baristas take pride in their coffee and it is appreciated by diners and tourists.

“The tourists love Melbourne because our coffee and cafe culture is a part of our lives and is a very unique thing to Melbourne,” Mr Turner said

Yeah I wondered if I was reading that right. Petrenko was known to have poor endurance for an AFL player and his kicking was deplorable at times.
I liked Petrenko because of his intensity and tenacity when ball hunting... or rather hunting the man on the ball, but he shit his pants in front of goal and his kicking was.... well.... anyway.

Not that Cameron doesn't need to work on aspects, but I can safely say that at 20ish games he has more strings to his bow than Petrenko at 76 games.

We might have received a higher rating if more than 3 out of the 1000 came to Adelaide

After Cameron's debut game against Collingwoor I thought he had more strings to his bow than Petrenko.

Spot on re hunter WW - he will get monstered in 1 on 1 body work but good when he gets a jump at it - v athletic

His kicking is poor , even for a ruck... But then again so is ROBs

Sauce kicking is highly underrated, not many rucks kick as well as him
Is ROB that bad? I haven't seen any sanfl so don't know. People sometimes allow a couple of howlers to define a player. They're still doing it with Hartigan despite a near flawless back half of the year. Certainly no absolute disasters.

I think people just remember his kick from the nab game last year.

Not saying he's a great kick, but no worse than your average ruck as.
