    I hope that he is started off the bench and goes straight into the ruck. It’s important that he is involved early on in the match, and his career.

    Fantastic news!

    Congratulations to Jacob van Rooyen in finally having his debut game!

    Hopefully the BIG ROOSTER goes in hard at the ball and shows plenty of aggression with his tackling, smothering and shepherding.

    Jacob definitely reminds me of the two Davids in Neitz and Schwarz.

    Good luck Jacob! Smash those Swans!!!

     

    GO DEMONS!!!! 🔴🔵👹

    In the Casey game last week, the Bulldogs 206 cm 106 kg ruckman, Jordan Sweet, No. 41 was roughing up one of the Casey players as he was making his way to interchange...really bullying/intimidating...fair enough...Casey player changed with JVR, who went straight to the said 41 and gave it right back, with plenty of interest. 41 seemed surprised and definitely did not like it. Me, I loved it. Good luck JVR. Well deserved.

    There is hope. Mongrel don't come easy, but we need it in bucketloads.

    Lot of people waxing lyrical about this guy playing in the magoos, let's see how he goes in the big league

    I'm looking forward to seeing this kid in the seniors, and I trust the coaches have prepared him very well for long term success.  His attack on the ball and player is great, very reminiscent of David Schwarz, my favourite player growing up.

    That is a ruined van, not a van ruin.

    So they should, he is the future for mfc and he'll be better for the run whatever happens. The big leagues for a forward can sometimes be "better". Quicker ball movement, bigger grounds, better structures.  Personally, I believe the key metric of any forward is taking marks. Dont care if they are contested or uncontested for now. If he averages 4 to 5 marks per game this season, we have something.

    Just where do you think every single player on our list got their start? He’s obviously ticked all of the boxes required to get the promotion.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
