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.

    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"

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
