He will wear the number 43.5 then

Well done Chook, I laughed. Good thing these days.

    I think the exciting thing with this pick, is we have taken a player who has a number of attributes, who might be able to be developed into a very good player. We can then live in hope we have got a very good one.

    With some other players, you know what you are getting, as they were at their best in the younger competitions and may not improve much when playing against the big boys. That is a pretty common trait among many draftees over the years.

    Take Toumpas as an example, who was a very good player among his age group, but just couldn't improve in the AFL and didn't make it as an AFL player. 

    We all know drafting is an inexact craft, every recruiter has had failures as that is the way of recruiting.

    With this kid Rosman, who has many attributes, such height, speed and endurance as examples, we have a base to work on, that may have a very high ceiling and that is exciting, as we take the journey with him.

    Personally, I think the exciting thing about this Pick is that we have recruited an 18 year old, Jewish, Carpenter.

    Can anyone tell me whether the first grab of highlights above is from a practice match v Oakleigh Chargers or if it’s a Dragons interclub?

    So we shouldn't expect to see him until about age 30, where he will develop a cult following after displaying some freakish ability, before being brutally cut from the list? 

    Guess after that we can re-draft him during the mid-season draft the following year to revive his career.

    Hope he doesn't turn into a whipping boy, and get crucified on DL on a weekly basis.

    Judging by current enthusiasm...I'd expect most pundits on here @FireInTheBennelly would be disappointed if in his first year, he isn't jagging 3 goals per game, committing 15 pressure acts and holding down a key position spot in the forward line, whilst being touted as leadership material.

    If IF his dads name is Dave Rosman, then I'm right on the money!

    Looks promising. Speed to burn and a good grab. Agree with Kevin Sheehans comment that he has the Isaac Smiths about him.

    Aaron Davey seemed to fix his kicking up pretty well

    never needed fixing.

    Went from 'good' to 'art'.  The entire arc of Davey's long kicks became so perfect that sometimes I just watched the ball fly and lost track of the game for a moment.

    Of course, Fraser Rosman has almost nothing in common with Aaron Davey except his species, y chromosome and red-and-blue jumper.  But that's enough for me to be sure he'll come along nicely.

    I think Joeboy would definitely sum up Fraser Rosman in 3 words. Speed, endurance, size.  Can’t wait to see how he develops and could play back or forward or on probably even fit in on the wing. Mark Williams will work with this kid a lot in 2021.

    Funny how people relate size and physique to being a good footballer.  Based on that theory, Majak Daw should have a few Brownlow's by now.

    Thank God some of you blokes didn't see a young Rob Flower at his first few training outings.  A stick figure with glasses like the bottoms of coke bottles!

    • 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.
