Aaron vandenBerg

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

vandenBerg - a classic example of the massive positive difference in list management since Roos has been at the club.

Clearly Roos has a great network of smart footy people.

Can only hope it continues when Roos is gone.

Kelly O'Donnell says hi

[rjay 25,357]

Col is where he is now because of his work ethic,not his ability to play, vanderman has all the skills Col has, if you want to compare who he plays like, then he is close to Col but he has work ethic that Col lacked, which hopefully we will see a better player.

Col is where he is because he is not the total package and is not the talent you think he is. Anyway, now that he's retired I think you can look at his career and say what you see is what you get. Forget this mythical great untapped talent.

As for Aaron, he's not wasting any time after a late start to his career and good on him. I love what he's brought to the team to date, lets hope it's just a stepping stone to the future.

Kelly O'Donnell says hi

In what way was Kelly O'Donnell so significant?

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,365]

I must admit I wanted them to re-rookie Tappscott rather take the punt on Vandenberg.

Can someone please put the humble pie in the oven for me, 25 minutes at 180.

No. You can have it cold.

Kelly is the 'pro scout'. His job is to watch the second tier leagues such as SANFL and NEAFL.

Would have played a big part in identifying and monitoring vandemon during 14 season.

Beat me to it, thanks

We have done well with rookies called Aaron.

2003 Aaron Davey, remember him.

Recruiting Manager Jason Taylor has been monitoring Vanders since his time at Collingwood

By sending Kelly to watch him, I asked

[beelzebub 23,390]

Taylor proving a handy addition to the club. Can't wait to see next draft's Smokey

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,074]

Steady, Jordie Mc led the AFL tackling a couple of years ago, and Nev Jetta and Dawes are ferocious as well, I told Aaron today the next big tackle on Sunday I want the guy into the seats not just over the line, wore a NSW shirt in his honour today which he found hilarious

I like vandenBerg's attack on the ball and I like his tackling...but now I'm really worried about his sense of humour.

Why?

Considering that vandenBerg grew up in WA, yeah I don't see the humour.

mate, i'm not convinced you'd find humour anywhere unless you tripped on it

Isn't he from Tathra in NSW?

Elderly men acting as fanboys around AFL players isn't my idea of comedy. If I had someone I didn't know hanging around my workplace asking inane personal questions, I'd be worried. But I'm sure the AFL players are told to react in a polite way.

They do.

They are educated on this kind of stuff now days. Every club has that couple of over obsessed fan who put their heart and soul into the club. Its basically a respect and polite manner attitude in front of these supporters.

[daisycutter 29,919]

Nah.

11 Years in WA and started playing football there. Fair chance that if he was born and bred in Tathra that he would have taken to Rugby League. Just like Aker was born in Victoria and moved to Qld in his early teens.

Sure:

[chook fowler 19,735]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's offered a contract very soon.
