The athletic project player was delisted at the end of the season after two years during which he was mainly played in defence. His progress was slow and hampered by injuries and he was unlucky to miss Casey’s premiership after being ruled out of the grand final due to concussion protocols.

 

Date of Birth: 30 May 2002

    Maybe they should have listened to Kelly O'Donnell who was the only recruiter who wanted Jack Carroll at this pick...

    The 2020 national draft is not shaping up as being a good one for the club. 

    As much as you hope every kid coming through the door has a long and rewarding career, I didn't see anything to suggest that Rosman had the makings of an AFL player. I'm glad we made the call now rather than dragging it out for another 12 months.

    bit of an aimless comment isn't it? given one of them is already a premiership player at the club... 33% aint bad

    Our recruitment team pushed hard for Fraser and I was hoping for that special 6’4” fast wingman that could run, mark and kick long. Sadly not to be.!!!

    Given he was delisted immediately after not long on the list, and the fact he’s the only delisting. Makes me wonder if it was behavioural/work ethic? Nothing else really makes sense.

    Unfortunately Rosman did not stand a chance to become a AFL footballer, in the last 4 years of his life he played less than 35 games of which 24 were played at the MFC they tried him as a wingman which after watching 1 game I realised he was not a wingman then later they tried him as a backman which I suggested much earlier.

    His game improved but injuries put paid to his career, when you are a natural athlete and not a natural footballer you need lots of games and coaches who analyse his preformances to suggest ways to improve, our coaches at Casey are trying to show their wares but forget they are basically development coaches dressed up as head/assistant coaches.

    Currently on Carltons list and played 5 games this year after debuting  from a injury ruined first year last year.

    Wingman/half back who's exactly what we're lacking in terms of depth on the outside with clean skills and poise.

    Showed some real promise at AFL level this year from what I saw and already signed a new 2 year contract extension. 

    He was the one I wanted badly in the 2020 draft and was shocked when we overlooked him for Rosman. My support was immediately behind Rosman when we selected but deep down I was fairly disappointed we overlooked a natural footballer for an athlete who was still raw to the game.

    Oh well.

    Is he still our pro-scout? And if so, why hasn't he found us a good state league player in nearly a decade?

    Rosman was a risk/reward shot that flamed out. But so far Carroll looks fairly underwhelming. If Carlton had any belief he could hold down a wing they probably wouldn't be bringing in Blake Acres. 

    We need to keep taking chances with later picks on guys with some serious upside and also be prepared to move on quickly if it's not working.

    Could join Jarred Rivers, Viv Mitchie and reunite with his old school mates at Collegians.

    A couple of well-separated good reports, and continuing supporter hopes and expectations, yet not forthcoming. Sadly, not to be but was not the only one.

    I reckon Laurie will define if the 2020 draft was a success or barely a pass mark.

    He would want to be getting senior games by year 3.

    Because our best 22 is so perfect or Laurie is no good, or a combo of both?

    It’s funny saying this but I tend to study people pretty closely body language, expression how they interact with teammates, coaches and the enemy. I look at Bowey, Spargs, Sparrow and JVR they all ooze confidence and know they belong whereas I look at Laurie and to a lesser degree Jordon and they look less at home. They both need to step it up a lot, talk more catch the coaches eye be a bit more daring.!!!

    Well at this stage I reckon Blake Howes might get him as a player in the end  (perhaps a winger) and a half back is by no means an urgent issue with about half a dozen in the mix for our mids and smalls.  

    I would still watch Rosman over the next 2/3 years at Port as he may develop quickly there.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
