Just a little note that I loved. Cross burned him on the lead and kicked it over his head to a pack for an easy turnover. Aaron didn't hesitate to let him know about it. That's a first gamer telling off a guy with over 200 games to his name. He's just slotted in as if he's been playing with us for years.

 

The boys love him and is very well respected amongst coaching staff and playing.

His playing style yesterday reminded me so much of Max Rooke who use to be that battering ram half forward who just puts enormous pressure on forward stoppages and also that physicality that he could run through the contest. Several times he ran from the half forward line into the center to put a body on the contest in the center bounces.

Again a huge lad!

I've been thinking kind of Jarrod Molloy at Brisbane. A slightly heavy forward wrecking ball.

 

He'll be a gun if he isn't one already.


i think he will be something

a real gem and brimming with natural football nous

nothing timid or hestitant either

who'd have thunk he came from canberra?

Didn't see him spray Cross, that's fascinating. Sounds like a competitive beast (like Hogan, Frost, etc.)

Loving the mongrel Roos/Taylor has injected into us, exactly as a team dubbed the DEMONS should have! Other teams should dread playing us, knowing they'll end up bruised, battered and bleeding after two hours on the field with us.

Thought his preseason form might've been a bit of a fluke or any easy ride in practice games.

But nope, I like him a lot. Has some pace, size, strong through the hips even though he has no calves, looks like a pro already.

Has more attributes than your Magner type VFL recruits and actually adds a different dimension to the midfield/flanks.

Good get!

Speaking of Magner what an absolute [censored] that bloke is.

If anyone have read his recent HS article you will know why.

From that first NAB Cup game where he came on as a sub I knew he would be a very good player.

Imagine when this bloke gets AFL fit. Missed a big chunk of the preseason after shoulder surgery and never done an AFL preseason. Huge upside.

Question: Who gets the Rising Star this week if an MFC boy were to collect it? AvB, Jesse with his 15 possessions, 7 marks and 2 goals or Gus with his 9 tackles???

I agree - read the article over breakfast.

Have you got a link mate? What'd he say that ruffled your feathers?

Nice story on Vanders. Moved to ACT, lost 10-15 kg's and worked his ass off.

One of my favourite Demons, love and respect his work rate.

FInally drafting some 'footballers' about time....

And I think he came from Tathra originally...

...got to love "The Beast".

I can't remember the last time the club had a player who is built like the proverbial brick....and has a football brain....and knows how to play the game

Luke Norman

Can take a contested grab, can kick a goal, has a good turn of speed and is a great size. What's not to like.

Sounds like Fyfe


 

I don't see anything bad in there? Is it the fact that he says he'll be cheering them on?

"I felt sorry for them" "They are such professionals" "soft spot for them now"

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
