100 for Shane Jack
One of the Roosters' great players from the past decade chalked up a significant milestone last Saturday, when utility Shane Jack ran out for his 100th senior game against Bell Park at Hamlyn Park. Jack had played over 50 VFL games at Werribee when the club recruited him seven years ago and since that time he has carved out a consistent career at West Oval which has been highlighted by a Best & Fairest win, GFL representative honours and a club leading goalkicker award. His best return in front of the sticks was a haul of 9 against St Albans in 2005. His outstanding decision making, strong over-head marking and pin-point kicking for goal have made him not only a fan favourite but without doubt one of Geelong West-St Peters' unsung greats in the 21 year history of the club. Well done Shane.
Roosters fall to Joeys....
Once again the senior side proved their competitive streak by staying in the contest against a St Josephs side full of momentum on Sunday until 3/4 time. The Roosters led by just under two goals at the first break before the visitors worked their way back into the contest and ran away with the game in the last to register a 50 point win.
Veteran Shane Jack....5 goals to lead the Roosters' charge on Sunday.
A Grade all tied up with Joeys.
A slight hiccup on the weekend to the A Graders with a 51-apiece tie with mid-table St Josephs temporarily halting the attack on first spot on the GFL ladder. The match was tight for the majority with the last 24 clearances from the centre going goal-for-goal. Bree Cail with 27 was equal top scorer for the game while former Joey's forward Lyndelle Zuccolin nailed 16 in one of her best games for her new club. Cail named her side's best.

Lyndelle Zuccolin....one of her best games for her new club.

Past Greats...
Graeme Crook #3
Crook was a classy and quick rover in the mould of Bill Goggin who was an integral part of the club’s late success in the Ballarat League. A Geelong West boy, who played all his juniors at West Oval, he played for 10 years in the BFL, amassing over 100 games. He was a star of the 1956 premiership with an electric display roving and off forward. He again played a role in the ’57 premiership and earned BFL rep honours before being enticed to test himself at a higher grade and played five years at Yarraville including the 1961 VFA premiership and was best and fairest and runner-up in the 1961 Liston Trophy. Later returned to West Oval to coach the Reserve side in the VFA.
2 x premiership player (BFL), 100+ games, BFL representative, R/U Liston Medal (’61) (Yarraville).

Current Stars...
23. Liam Rock
On-baller
Came across to West in 2009 after starring in the Bellarine league for a couple of seasons with Ocean Grove. Slipped into the GFL with ease and was runner-up in club Best & Fairest in first year. Prolific ball winner in the centre and smart user who is consistently clearing packs and stoppages. Lightninig hands and accurate by foot. He is becoming one of the club's on-field leaders with his consistency and courage. Seldom has his colours lowered and has revelled in the challenge of this year particularly with brother James now in a Roosters' jumper also. The club will look to his work ethic and leadership for many years to come as he fast becomes one of the fans' favourites also..

ANOTHER WIN FOR NETBALL
Elizabeth Crossan from 17u Div 2 was awarded the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Spirit of Netball Award for round 5 vs St Josephs.
The award is determined by opposing team managers who score players from each team and award them points in two categories; fairness and performance.
Elizabeth, who turns 17 next week, has played with GWSP since 13u and has always been a tenacious defender. She has been awarded Best & Fairest status on numerous occasions including 13u Div 2 in 2005, 15u Div 2 in 2008 and 17u Div 2 in 2009.
She is a real leader in the 17u Div 2 team this year and her hard work is paying off with Elizabeth earning extra court time this in the 17u Division 1 team and our Senior D grade team. Her mum Maryanne has also been a great club person, offering her time to be team manager for the past few seasons.
It is a great achievement and the club is very proud of Elizabeth. She joins Steph Shell as our second recipient of the award. Well done!!
