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.

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

Cant win 'em all.

 

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.

where's Jack Carroll  now? And what's he done? 

 

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.

Good luck Fraser Rosman make every post a winner at Port.!!!

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.

I will be surprised if Laurie gets a senior game in 2023.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
