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

 

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.

 

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.


In what way was Kelly O'Donnell so significant?

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


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

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

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.


i understand he was born in wa, but grew up in tathra

winner

i understand he was born in wa, but grew up in tathra

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
