We got speed!! Greasy fast lightning speed!!!!

And smarts around goal.

Will fit in perfectly as a forward running midfielder or a crumbing forward. He also has a decent leap on him.

As long as he improves his fitness and stays hungry, he should be a 7+ year jet for us.

Great pickup!

This is what galvanises teams. Another excitement machine...
Just what is needed for a tilt at the flag.

Brilliant first game with us.

3 goals. Great movement and got others involved with some great passes going forward.

^ I'm already sensing the CFC shop better stock up on no.23 guernseys.

I can almost see the AFL equivalent of the famous NRL Arthur Summons & Norm Provan picture, between Mason Cox and Bobby...

The English word 'bobby-dazzler' was originally a northeast "Geordie" English dialect term for someone who is considered (with affection) remarkable or excellent, shows smart dress sense or is maybe "flashy".

That’s fine but the Aussie use was for say a great goal or mark

Or hitting the cricket ball over the fence.

That’s how I used it as a cracking good bloke

The etymology of the colloquial term 'Booby Dazzler' originated in in 19th century England and was soon adopted here in Australia.

^Oxford English Dictionary.

There was an Australian TV show called Bobby Dazzler.
Terry Norris, who died just a few days ago was one of the stars, along with John Farnham as Bobby, and Maurie Fields.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276648/

Safe to say, a Bobby Dazer was always something remarkable, special. Very apt for our lad Bobby.
