Good luck JVR


Great news, Good Luck JVR you have certainly earnt it.!!!!!!

I always love a debut, but this one seems extra special!  Good luck young man.  Go out and do yourself and the MFC proud.

This is the most excited I have been for a debut since Trac was picked.

The kid has some serious courage in the way he launches at the pill and the ability to split open packs.

I would have played him Rd 1 ahead of both BBB and TMac as he contests so hard in the air and on the ground as well where the elder statesman (BBB especially) add little value once the ball hits the turf.

I've been impressed with BBB's ability to snag some opportunistic goals this year, however he still plays like a flanker and gets moved under a high ball so easily which gets frustrating.  TMac has really struggled from what I have seen as well.

This kid is an old school, pack hitting CHF and I can't wait to see him develop with us.

Not expecting much in his first few games however but I really believe he'll be a jet for us long term.

 

I'm tearing up my Grand Prix ticket and going to the G instead now.

How good is this? Tear them a new one Rooey!

(I was always going to the G anyway, but added incentive) 


Goodwin on van Rooyed debut:

young-demon-to-make-debut-against-high-flying-swans

"He's trained with these guys for a few years now, so he's got pretty good cohesion with this group already, and one thing you'll see from big Rooey is his ability to compete aerially," Goodwin said.

"He goes at the ball hard, he creates a contest and his follow-up at ground level is exceptional.

"We won't be asking him to do too much other than that for us."

Nice way to keep expectations of him realistic.

JvR effectively replaces Max in our fwd line so we won't need Grundy for that role.  TMac is there to help Grundy ruck at CB and fwd 50.   And to be our marking target when exiting our d50.  It helps that if Ladhams is out, Sydney have no experienced ruckman.

We will miss Max's towering presence but reckon we have his role covered.

This is the best!!  See you at the G, IHW!!!

Might be time to become Rooy11

Going to be very special seeing the #2 run out on the G again. Hopefully Jonesy can hand him his jumper.

Hope Sunday is reminiscent of the legendary Greg Parke's first game.

Great memories there!  Loved Greg Parke!  He was a copper during the week, and controlled traffic at CHF of Sat arvo!  (Great to hear the dulcet sounds of Tony Charlton's commentary, too!)

Yes, a debut like that for our new debutante would be wonderful!

I'm really looking forward to the video where it gets announced he's debuting. He's been really positive in simlar videos in the last few weeks when others have made their debut in front of him which understandably would have been tough personally whilst he bides his time. He well and truly deserves his moment with the boys making a fuss and getting around him.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
