Reserves Rookie Review – Round 16

Written by Alza on July 3 2024

All 18 teams in action this week for the 1st time this year. Still some decent players putting their hands up with the Geelong boys really pushing their case. With 8 weeks to go there is still a lot of time left in the season but we want new rookies to be held back for next season.
