Player of The Month:Simon Grossman

In the first of our players of the month we talk with Simon Grossman. Simon is now in his third year with the club, and has established himself as one of the hardest backmen opposition players have come up against. His large frame coupled with his ability to outsprint even the quickest rovers has allowed him to surge forward on many occasions setting up a lot of offensive play.We caught up with "Grossy" at Blake Park:
