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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    vandenBerg 188cm 90kg

    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 ?

    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"

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
