    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
