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.

Jobe Watson

Nathan Fyfe

Chris Judd

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 ?

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"

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
