asked of him. He is in the top three players in fitness
in the club and recently played for the ACT in the Rep
Under 23 against GWS. Rob has played just on 50 games
for club and is still only 21. He is very versatile and is
probably on the way to being a future leader at the club.
NEW RECRUIT – Damian Bowles
Damian is big and strong mobile recruit from the AFL. He
can play a number of positions up the spine and posses a
booming kick to go with good marking power. “Bowlesy”
is just super competitive with a very professional attitude
to training and playing. He represented NSW at country
championships in 2010.
SUPERSTAR – Marcus Crook
Marcus has raw talent and class, an all-round utility who
played three games with GWS over the summer and won
the best player award at the 2010 country championship,
runner up in the Mulrooney Medal in
2010 and is still only aged 23.
THE ROCK - Michael Ghobrial
Michael is an experienced backman who has had
shown real commitment during the pre-season. He has
demonstrated renewed passion for the game after the
premiership and is very excited about new competition
and opportunities this year.
HARD AS NAILS – Ash Harris
Ash still only 21 but a player who thrives on hard work,
loves the contest and can play back or forward, has
played rep footy and is a consistent player week in week
out. Super fit and strong with one of the Club’s best work
ethics.
THE BIG IMPROVER – Ben Perry
Ben is former American college basketball player who
has had a massive pre-season, good overhead mark and
straight kick, Ben plays ruck or forward, he is very mobile
