He has surpassed my expectations easily, if he holds this sort of form he will get a three year contract at years end.

 

His a Good pick up, I hope his not a one season player like the rest of them.

Aaron vandenberg is a ripper hard as nails and gives his all great pick up dees .only early days and love this bloke setting a great standard

Not yet, but you would think that is a lock to happen before seaso

Has his contract been extended yet? Surely he'll get a main list spot next year.

There's no rush to put him onto the main list. It will all depend on the number of delisting we have at the end of the year.

In theory we could keep him on the rookie list for another 2 seasons and just upgrade him when there is a long term injury. You do run the risk of nobody have a LTI. Collingwood have done this with Frost who has pretty much played all games since the start of last year but is still a rookie.

 

ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought drinking alcohol and posting on Demonland was a no-no.

why can't Vanders just be himself? Why do we have to give playes a crappy nickname, or try and align them to other plays i.e "he reminds me of..."

He is doing fine cementing/creating his own name in the game!

He reminds me of some guy who played in an obscure ACT competition last year. He is not there anymore. I wonder what happened to him?

He's proof that individuals can impact games off limited pre-seasons for those who continuously make excuses for sub-standard footballers on our list.

He really highlights those who have been on the list for years but who cannot perform consistently.

Vanders has some really solid attributes to his name and is only going to get better as his tank improves.

Good points about the "limited preseason excuse". And it will be interesting how he goes later in this his first season. Drive and determination play a big rôle.


Old Song.

Same old song? :lol::lol:

VanDemon has shown enough that other clubs will offer him a long-term deal on good money. We will need to offer him a spot on the main list.

Sunday was his first game as a bonefide mid and he was exceptional.

Who is taller?

Jobe Watson

Nathan Fyfe

Chris Judd

Aaron vandenBerg

Josh Kennedy

Pay attention Barry, these guys are midfielders. Hmm Fitzy in the midfield?

They are in order tallest to shortest.

Watson 190cm 94kg

Fyfe 190cm 85kg - I reckon 90kg

Judd 189cm 88kg - I reckon 185cm

vandenBerg 188cm 90kg

Kennedy 188cm 96kg

Dangerfield 186cm 90kg

Hodge 186cm 89kg

Can we not call him VandenFyfe. His name is VandenBerg.

Why do we feel the need to slap on the name of a player who has absolutely Jack [censored] to do with the dees.

Give the guy some respect

And you think he would feel disrespected being compared to Fyfe ?

Watson 190cm 94kg

Hodge 186cm 89kg

Christian Petracca 186cm 94kg

Angus Brayshaw 187cm 88kg

Christian Petracca 186cm 94kg

Angus Brayshaw 187cm 88kg

interesting.....never pictured brayshaw as being same/taller than petracca (even though it is only 1 cm)

 

When Vanders gets a full AFL pre-season of running in, he'll be a really really valuable mid for us.

He reminds me of Dangerfield with his explosive attack on the ball and man. I reckon we'll be pleasantly surprised about how dynamic he'll be once his anaerobic capacity improves.

A really good pickup for a rookie.

What about Ivan Drago. I can just imagine him telling his opponent at the start of every match - "I will break you"

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
