Dylan Colyer is a true team man (as is his Dad Richard). Dylan broke his leg in a lunch-time bingle at school – before the start of the 2016 season. He hasn’t missed a game – as stats man and barracker – and he’s waited patiently for his day to arrive. On Sunday he made his junior footy debut – in Round 10 – v Brunswick. Check out this gallery of photos taken by Richard.
