I'll second that comment about Addison Demetriou.

I heard big wraps first hand from a lower grade bulldogs coach I know. Talking with him 12 months ago I asked him "Give me one name of a stand out player in your lower grades, one name to keep an eye out for?" Without hesitating he mentioned Addison Demetriou. Said he was something special, that he's seen this kid win games on his own.

Also told me that he is a bit of a wild one off the field. (Google his name and see what I mean). Also told me of a weekend league carnival they were at where Addison apparently played up off the field, partying hard the night before games, breaking curfews etc. Played a handful of games and won 4 man of the match awards. I've since met up with the coach again and he is filthy the bulldogs lost patience with this kid and let him go.

I'm hoping our club can change this kid off field. Watch this space.

Demetriou only played the last 15 mins against Saints last Fri afternoon but put some guys on their asses. Very well built & aggressive in defence.

As Oracle said, if he knuckles down off/on the field we'll have another Boyd coming thru.
