Round 1
Each week
Football Budget columnist Rod Willet will examine the form of players in the
WAFL competition and from there publish his Team-of-the-week.
With only
four teams playing in the season’s opening round it was a great chance for
young players to be included in the first Team-of-the-Week for season 2003.
Clancy
Rudeforth looks set to have a good year baring injury with a solid preformance
for Claremont last weekend.
Byron
Schammer showed in his first game why he was an early pick in last year’s AFL
national draft with a solid performance that will please the coaching staff at
Fremantle and Chad Jones kicked three goals in his league debut for Claremont.
Shaun
Hildebrandt continues to grow as an exciting young prospect for Peel and Paul
Johnson showed why the Eagles are so impressed with his early season
enthusiasm.
Up
against last year’s premiers East Perth and the first fixture in Busselton was
always going to be a tough challenge for rookie WAFL coach Steve Turner.
Swans
should have come away with the four points but the coach had to settle for a
draw, which earned him coach of the week honours.
