    Didn't play enough games for Sydney and his coaching record doesn't count.

    If the Roosey family had stayed in Sydney, he'd be eligible as an Academy player but it seems that despite spending several years in the Swans' Academy, the fact he's now moved to Melbourne means he's no longer eligible.

    I watched young Roos play in the game against NT and while he found a fair bit of the ball, he played very outside and didn't seem to like the physical contact. In yesterday's game he was getting stuck into contests far more and looked like he might be an AFL prospect.

    How big is Roos Junior? He looked quite small on TV. He may be one of those kids who gets a late growth spurt as his father is very tall.
