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 ?

Christian Petracca 186cm 94kg

Angus Brayshaw 187cm 88kg

Christian Petracca 186cm 94kg

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"

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
