Many AFL fans, whatever the club, like Jarryd Roughead. He seems a “genuine bloke” who is relatable. 

As a four-time premiership player who returned to the game after a serious cancer, you might have high expectations. Don’t. 

The cancer was terrible and frightening and his football career will probably have him in the AFL Hall of Fame within 6 years. But not a satisfying read.
