    Ranked 267 in the AFL for average disposals.

    Ranked 165 for average tackles.

    Ranked 77 for average clangers.

    Ranked 110 for average turnovers.

    You gotta love his intensity and consistent effort, but IMO this year his mistakes cost us more than his positive impact.

    I am glad that AVB stuck with us much better having him in our side rather than in someone else's that we have to play. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for Vanders and us.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree DZ many of us rate him  plays hard and straight ahead  kind of player. One who plays his role for the team. 

    Yes l expect better from Vanders in 2021.

    Heading into the final year of a ridiculous three year deal, and at almost 29, Vandenberg would want to improve significantly to earn another contract. Yes, he runs hard at the ball and tackles well, but his disposal and decision making are well below par, and he doesn't kick enough goals for someone playing mostly in the forward half. At least he seems to have gotten over the worst of his injury issues.

    • 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.
