The young Demon utility's career was on a steeply upward curve until a knee injury struck him down before the mid point of the season.

He recovered to play again in the final match but we're looking for better things from him with an injury-free 2012.

Rohan was starting to become an important player for us before his season was, once again, stuffed by injury.  He's quick with excellent endurance and clean skills, and in my eyes his concentration and the defensive side of his game improved considerably over what we saw in 2010. 

He performed some very good run-with roles before he was injured, and imo, this is probably where he'll end up playing most of his footy, but having said that, his versatility is perhaps his strongest suit.  

If he can remain injury free, I think Rohan will be a better than average player for us, which would be an excellent result for a speccie pick drafted somewhere in the 60s.

I hope he conitinues his progress because I rate him as as high as any prospect we have (to steal a baseball term).

Aside from Trengove...

Love the run and boldness, and his kicking and tackling is good.

But the runnning is Forest Gump like...

2010 seemed an unfortuanate false start to what promises to be an unglamourous but distinctly watchable and talented performance over many years. Theres a lot to like about Rohan :)

Must be one of the very few players to extract an almost united appraisal..lol Now that's something.

He not quite as good ( yet ) but reminds me of someome in his almost shy/humble but prolific work ethic/style.

Really wish this lad the best.

Love him. People seem to remember his endurance and tagging attributes- I remember his pinpoint passes and occasional shows of flashy plays. He can move this boy, has a few tricks.

How the hell did we get him at 70 or whatever it was? Good times. Pretty hot too!

Pick 64 iirc.

He was playing for the QLD U/18 team the same year a lot of players were drafted from QLD and I think he was overlooked because the recruiters were so focused on his teammates.

It's not often a mature-age player from the QAFL gets drafted.

Very happy to have him though.

Which part is stolen from baseball? "Prospect"?

I wouldn't have thought so.

That term is fairly common in all sports, I'd have thought.

I think his injury and subsequent absence had a far greater effect on team balance than was realized or expected at the time.

I hope he has made a full recovery and can become a consistently influential player for us.

Ha-ha, I remember best round 2 2010 in the last seconds. He should've kicked a point!

I best remember the same game (Vs filth) but early 1st qtr. Bail ran massive distance to demand/take an over the top pass from Bate? and then run into an open goal.

An absolute game turner.

This guy is bone hard, has great endurance, glides over the ground in an unbelievable manner, and takes the game on.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
