Yeah, it would be unfair on him to label him as the kid who beat cancer. I'm sure he would prefer to be recognised for his footy skills.

Reminds me of the way Ray Warren (in particular, but not exclusively) goes on and on about Brett Stewart's diabetes.

It shows his character, it's not labelling. It shows kids it can be done, gives someone who may be suffering cancer (or diabetes) a role model to look up to and give them hope that they can overcome the disease.

I don't see problem with it being mentioned.

True, but I'd bet a motza that those players would rather the talk be about their football than diseases or conditions they have beat or are managing.

When you're trying to be noticed as a football player, you don't want to be noticed as a cancer-survivor.

Sorry, I'm being pedantic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with mentioning it, I just hope it doesn't overshadow his efforts on the footy field. He looks like he could be a real star of the future. Kids got heart.

Part of our current success has to be attributed to the new found enthusiasam shown by our new firstgraders in Jamie and Chris Sandow.Long may it continue.

In the team annoucement JT said it (his hand) looked bad after the game but settled down the next day. So he should be right.

As an outsider looking in on the game , i was hugely impressed with Jamie he seems to be the real deal.

Wouldnt mind him in the mighty blue and gold.
