The Club hasn't tweeted it yet, has that guy gone off early?

'That guy' would know quite a bit more than the people in charge of our twitter account...

    Happy days. Congrats to VB (not the Adelaide one). Still working on a good nickname.

    I don't know whether it is a good one, but the players call him "Richie' and of course Vanders

    As others have already named him - Van Demon works for me (obviously a la Van Dieman's Land). Looks a ready made player and already a favourite of a few here.

    A tough ask for someone on debut.

    For real. Malceski is a damn fine player. Im sure Roos and co. have a plan to try shut down his drive off half back

    Just ask Hawthorn what they did in the GF. Malceski stunk.

    Breust, Rioli, Langford, Roughead, Puopolo even Gunston hunted Sydney's defenders lack a pack of wild (but well coordinated and highly disciplined) dogs.

    It's the challenge for our forwards and why despite maybe lacking fitness I want vandenBerg and Kent in the side. They have speed, hardness and an appetite for the ball and man. Jeffy Garlett buzzing around, Frost with his speed and Hogan with his attitude as well can bring the pressure. Maybe even a fired up Jack Watts. We can dream I guess.

    I don't think so, he was close to the Swans best player in the GF.

    Can someone explain how you get a surname with all lower case letters except a B somewhere in the middle??

    Important issue I know...

    vandenBerg, is of dutch origins.

    Spelt 'van den Berg' in Dutch (but vandenBerg as a surname - without spaces), it translates to "from the mountain/hill"

    Rubbish.

    I looked it up and it said "truly awesome rookie footballer."

    vanders should start as the third tall in the forward line who goes into the midfield for 5 mins every now and again. He has the size to stand a KPD, his versatility is probably the reason Pedo is gonna be on the outer this year or so it seems.

    This will free up Watts to play more of a link role and we need his precise footskills coming into F50 badly.

    Hoping for a massive debut from the rookie.

    He got the ball no doubt but butchered it.

    He was easily in Sydney's best and by far their best in the first quarter when it was still a ball game. I thought he was BOG at quarter time.

    I'll be very happy to see Vanders get a game, looks to have some exciting attributes about him. As someone said, I wouldn't bother about having a designated defensive forward as the suns have great rebounders. Will just have to be a forward unit defensive effort.

    Spelt this way more likely to be Belgian. Dutch generally capitalize the V and the D. Belgians go lower case.

    Think the Berg will be exciting. See i made another nickname... i was going to say Iceberg but Ice is probably a bad choice of words now days...

    Thank the Lord he is a long way removed from the "skinny kids" we usually debut.

    Solid lad alright.

    Just needs a bit more conditioning and he will be a serious unit for a midfielder.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
