Rosman is 194cm and Smith is 188cm - that's a fair difference

Sorry Pollyanna I was thinking more their style rather than height but nice to know he has him covered by 6 cm or almost 2 1/2 inches in my world.

looking at the end of the number reveal video, Rosman already has very broad shoulders and well developed lats.  He looks like he's going to be a much bigger more powerful specimen than Isaac Smith when he fully develops.

6 cm is a fair height on an opponent and a big advantage l hope he can use his  speed , stamina  and athletic ability  to the maximum in his game.

Probably more along the lines of Brander but faster (and better I hope)

If we’re aiming for Isaac Smith why not aim a little higher? And a big physical wingman who took time to learn his craft (as Rosman will) with 99 games in the reserves?

Let’s see if we can make him the next Dipper

Good in theory, but the way the VFL is run these days, it might take him 6 years to reach 99 games if he were to play in every available game.

I believe you mean the VFL/East Coast Second-Tier Men’s Competition! 15 games against half decent opposition might be optimistic

Hes nothing like Isaac Smith, no idea why people are comparing them

Unless Isaac Smith is a 194cm athletic beast with a huge leap?

They’re both tall athletic left footed wingmen. Obviously a lot of differences too but I’m fine with people daring to dream.

Who?

West Coast player recruited as a key forward but couldn't get a gig with Kennedy and Darling there, so was reinvented as a 195cm winger given his endurance. Played a few games this year without setting the world on fire.

It might be terrific to have a Dipper-type but I think Rosman might also have too many smarts to be the second coming?

I don’t get the Isaac Smith reference either. Never seen Smith consistently take marks like that, which was the clear standout of Rosman’s highlight clips. As for his prospects, he looks good on paper but let’s see I guess.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
