Looking at the highlights I was impressed that Cox kicked a check-side goal, thats quite a good skill level for someone so new to the game

Williamstown got the job done over Sandy today, so we close out Round 17 in 3rd place (equal 2nd), with the 'Gulls a game clear at the top but with a bye in the last round and a couple of possibly tricky encounters remaining in their run home.

So, if we can keep winning and a result or two go our way, don't count us out for the minor premiership either...

Not the best way to celebrate your birthday, doing a calf. Even if it was in a win...

Dolly Gray really stiff not to make the bests with 39 disposals, 6 marks, 2 goals and 4 tackles. Probably the last number is what turned the bests givers off...

In terms of AFL boys, Phillips with 33 disposals and 5 tackles, Macaffer 29 disposals and a whopping 16 tackles, Toovey 21 disposals and 4 tackles and Cox with just 8 disposals and 3 marks (and a zero tackle count). Will doubtless get called up for Moore, though.

Hopefully Rocca remedies Gray's omission from the bests on the show Tuesday...

Congratulations, Tapps!

Little known fact, apparently he played Under-19s for us back in 1983, under Keith Burns...
