Former team-mates Mark Ricciuto and Darren Jarman will go head-to-head tomorrow.
HE'S sporting a circle-shaped scar on his head, but the after-effects of his cycling accident won't stop Mark Ricciuto running out for a kick tomorrow.
Except he's not playing for Waikerie.
Rather, he's throwing on the maroon as an adopted "Red", playing for Prince Alfred College Old Scholars in the season-opener against Christian Brothers College.
It's something of an ex-Crow grudge match, as Roo's former team-mate Darren Jarman is coaching CBC, and there's a whisper Tony Modra could line up for the CBC Dolphins too.
But Jars swears it won't get too serious.
"Fun, that's what this competition's about - fun and excitement," Jars says.
Roo's a little worried about his fitness, which he says has gone downhill after hitting a car on his bike last month. He hasn't
been back on a bike since
- the one he was riding in the accident is "in three pieces".
And while neither Roo nor Jars has actually attended either PAC or CBC, that could change in the future.
"Maybe I could get some free school fees for (son) Nick," Roo muses. "Come play for CBC and you won't have to pay fees," Jars promises.
PAC take on CBD in a special match at Norwood Oval. The B-grade's at 4pm, and A-grade at 6pm. Entry is $5, with children free. The game is one of 110 amateur football matches which kick off this weekend.
It takes real courage to wear PURPLE!!!!!
