We welcome South Barwon today to the<br />
Rooster Cage and hope for a great contest in<br />
all games of football.<br />
Over the years we have had some enthralling<br />
contests with the Swans including a fantastic<br />
win by our boys last year and a narrow<br />
victory by the reigning premiers in near<br />
freezing conditions here at West three years<br />
ago.<br />
Today, our boys go into the game brimming<br />
full of confidence with some great wins in<br />
their past two rounds against St Mary’s and<br />
Colac away.<br />
With several key players out of the game<br />
last week, the seniors summoned all their<br />
character to fight back from a 15 point deficit<br />
at Central Reserve by quarter time to stamp<br />
their authority on the game and stave off<br />
a Tiger late surge to record a landmark 10<br />
point win.<br />
In front of a surprisingly large club<br />
contingent, the Roosters powered their way<br />
through the second half and put paid to a<br />
spirited Colac fight back to record their first<br />
win at the Tigers’ home.<br />
Vice-captain Paul Carson again stamped his<br />
authority on the game and led an on-ball<br />
attack that was relentless all day in their<br />
hunt for the footy and at the man. Livewire<br />
forward Luke Parker, hard nut back men Rob<br />
Chamberlain and Adam Morrow and key<br />
utility Shane Jack were all at their best in<br />
leading their galvanised team. Dale Carson<br />
with 4 along with Jack (3) and slippery pocket<br />
Rhys Burke (3) were the leaders on the<br />
scoreboard. All of our boys will need to bring<br />
their best game today to combat the league’s<br />
best and we wish the Roosters the very best.<br />
The Reserves again showed why 2008 is fast<br />
shaping as the club’s best in that grade with<br />
a comprehensive beating of the Tigers. Cam<br />

Healy once again gave his all and finished as<br />
the sides’ best along with an evergreen Pops<br />
Kelly who slotted through a casual seven<br />
goals. Sean Lever, Benny Rowe and a spirited<br />
Adam Jago with a fine performance and four<br />
majors all were at the forefront in the 118<br />
point win to celebrate Tony Calnon’s 250th.<br />
The under 18s ran into a tough Colac unit<br />
who traditionally are amongst the league’s<br />
best. Riccardi, Frangos, Timmy Wight and<br />
Hower were our side’s best but by games’ end,<br />
the Tigers had chalked up a morale-boosting<br />
win.<br />
Stilllearning, our boys have come a very long<br />
way thus far this year and even before the<br />
halfway point of the year has eclipsed their<br />
win-loss from last year.<br />
