Fair debut. Kept his cool and didn't hesitate to smash it to the boundary if he wasn't sure.

I like the look of JoRo. But is it fair to assume he will be more of a third tall/rebounder than a legit shutdown tall?
More Guy McKenna than Darren Glass, if you'll allow the wildly optimistic analogy.
Or Sheppard 2.0?

Certainly. He’s never going to be a key defender
Schoey has a couple of inches on him I think. I’d rather Rotham play an attacking role rebounding from d50. Quick with good skills.
I just meant with Schoey, he's lightly built (well he was for a long time) but the fact he's 197 cm or whatever allowed him to play on key forwards thanks to his reach. Rotham is only 192 cm or something isn't he?

Would love Rotham to develop into a docherty type

Good debut played like Bluey McKenna and Glassy
Very good debut in a massive game
He really picked up the tempo of the game really well which is something that you can never predict and is a very good sign for the future. Looks like he could end up a very similar sort to Sheppard (especially before Shep became a lock down type)

Yeah Rotham isn’t a kpd. He was smashed last year a couple times but that was probably to improve his defensive game. He’ll be a taller Shep in the future for us. I’ve mentioned above but he’s built very much like Andrew Mackie and plays similar.
Tom doedee from Adelaide is another one he plays like.

We need to be utising his speed and disposal

IMO he is Hurn's replacement when he retires. Until then he is backup for any of the medium defenders.
He had a very solid debut, saved a couple of goals with his speed, pressure on Cox drew a HTB free and he put the fist through several inside 50 kicks. Looks fit and confident in that role.
Once Hurn and Jetta retire we will still have a decent backline:
Cole Barrass Shep
Duggan Gov Watson
Bench: Rotham
Not convinced on Watson but i really want to see him debut this year to see if he has what it takes. Rotham has never really played a blinder in the WAFL but he came in and looked like he had played 50-60 games already.

Watson ain’t gonna make it IMO.
Should go try get a game for GC or St K or something
