Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 He has surpassed my expectations easily, if he holds this sort of form he will get a three year contract at years end. 3 Quote
Nasher 33,686 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 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 Aaron vandenBerg. 4 Quote

ILLDieADemon 804 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 His a Good pick up, I hope his not a one season player like the rest of them. Quote
Talleycat 13 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 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 Quote
Grimes Times 1,278 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 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. Quote

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. Quote

Collingwood have done this with Frost who has pretty much played all games since the start of last year but is still a rookie. 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. Quote

nutbean 8,838 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 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 ? Quote

daisycutter 30,021 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 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) Quote
stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 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. 2 Quote
Wormburner 674 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 What about Ivan Drago. I can just imagine him telling his opponent at the start of every match - "I will break you" Quote
