NORWOOD’S PAUL PUOPOLO WINS

ROUND 11 COCA-COLA STAR SEARCH AWARD NOMINATION

Paul Puopolo from the Norwood Football Club has been named the Round Eleven Coca-Cola Star Search Award nominee.

Playing in his 14th League game, Puopolo accumulated 21 possessions and played an integral role in Norwood’s 51 point win over the Eagles on Saturday. His run and use of the ball from defence was outstanding whilst holding his opponents to minimal possessions.

Paul made his League debut for Norwood in Round 1 2007, playing 5 games throughout last year. To date, Puopolo has had an outstanding season playing in the back pocket / forward pocket or as a midfielder. Paul’s ability to work his way through heavy traffic whilst being almost impossible to tackle, due to his upper & lower body strength, has proved to be a key asset to this up and coming player.

Recruited from the Hope Valley Football Club, Puopolo has progressed through the Norwood underage structure to become a regular League player for the Club.

Has to be the find of the season for us so far.
Will be a sTar of the future...at Norwood.....not sure about AFL yet.

He's one player you don't mind too much if he makes the odd error, it's usually made because he's trying too hard. He puts in all the time, a lesson for many other players in the SANFL to follow.

According to the SANFL he's tried so hard he's won it for a round that hasn't been played yet

Maybe this should go into the 'media gets it wrong' thread too.

Well done Paul...our star in the making

Quicker than Sharples and Thompson? He must be bloody quick then!

I was very impressed with Paul's game at Oval Avenue last Saturday.

Well done!

Saw his game last Sunday at Unley. He looks uncannily like former Legs hard man Justin Scanlon, and not just because he wears the number 21 guernsey!

He's acually round 10 star search award winner.

a Champion in the making.

well done!
