Super keen to see this kid play at this level. Hope he brings his competitive spirit, air or land. 

 

Good to see the number 2 back on the ground

 

Hopefully I hear "go number 2" from someone in the members

I assume you mean the MCC.  If so...

"Hey old chap, who's that no.2 ?  Like the cut of his jib"

"Von Royalstein, old bean. From the Continent, or one of the Dominions, I believe. Funny, though; he's put on an inch or two. And looks dapper with that head of hair now. Glad he's dropped the anonymity: 'Jones'; so obvious!"

 

...And just a thought: if he takes as many marks as we hope he will, particularly one-touch ones...

'Clunk'?

So who presents his jumper?

Jonesy ?

Stinger ?

Steven Armstrong ?

Possibly one of Robbie's family ?

Ooh Steven Armstrong would be a nice surprise with the WA connection!

I reckon No 2 holds more meaning to MFC supporters than even the No 31. It's a heavy number to carry on your back

It really is.

And it is a massive honour to wear it. I hope Jonesy hands him his jumper. If he can give our club half as much as Jonesy did, he'd be doing extremely well!

Major League Baseball in the US now gives players a special patch to add to their uniform when they debut. It's all about the collectibles market. I expect the AFL will eventually follow suit.

Of course they'll stuff up his name.  Commentators put no effort in learning the correct pronunciation.

While we're at it. 

It's not Jacob Weetering it's Veetering

It's not Jayger O'Meara it's Yayger

It's not Jake Collar-jazz-knee it's Collar-darsh-knee

It's not Jason Johannisen it's Yoharnisen

When it's all said and done no. 13 could be a prized number ironically.

You forgot Jefferson.

The glimpses I saw of him in the Casey game were very promising…looks a pure big forward

Agree TSD

MJ will be the star FF I reckon

Rooey will play all over the forward line and on the ball for short spells and kick plenty to ensure he gets us over the line in the future.

Add maybe Sestan in 12 mths with his goalkicking and skilled forward work plus Kossie hopefully. Sounds very dangerous for goalkicking goals!!!

I'm never sure with Jager. I once worked with a Javier and the first day I met him called him 'Haviere'. He immediately corrected me and said it was just plain old  'Jayvier'.

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

You could have wished him well or congratulated him. You can only do your best and be promoted. 

It's great for the fans to get excited and he will know he has support from them. They will thank goodness be more positive than you and be parting the excitement. 

Oh sorry AFL isn't to get excited about one must be solemn in case he under performs.

Sometimes people deliberately mispronounce their name because they get tired of correcting people so they just adopt the mispronunciation.   I have family members and work colleagues who do that.

I think TMac's foot is still an issue - wouldn't be surprised if he misses this week, so the JVR call is a no-brainer with Max out - the bonus being that JVR will have the second ruck duties. He'll be right in the thick of it! Big test.

Inside info ? Brain fade ? Or just guessing?

 Tmac should be before dropped placed in defence and HP given a few games up forward to take the pressure off himself end free him up.

JVR is the ideal 2nd ruck spot sharing about 25/33% with Brody and resting up forward. His performance last week at Casey was very strong ( BTW Dee Spencer  your stats from last week were incorrect)  From 11 marks and 19 disposals he deserves finally to debut in the team and be let loose using his marking and competitive skills to our advantage. If he kicks some goals as well they will be a bonus at this stage. 
Never spoil the truth with your opinion Dee to try and make a good story. Or something like that. 

Wonder  how good JVR will be in 2 years?

Yep. Some fair players have donned that number, even if we only go back to the 90s.

They only got Oo-zay right because their tiny minds locked up when they saw Y and Z next to each other, and so they fell back on copying the crowd going OOZE.

Van Rooey, the famous number two-ee on debut-ee. Finally broke into-ee the senior crew-ee.

Run through-ee, number two-ee! Put it through-ee the big sticks, Bluey! Now a lock in the twenty-two-ee!

Your success will help with our gross revenue-ee. Glad you do not play for the team with the mascot of kangaroo-ee. Get ready for the Monday morning telephone interview-ee.

GO DEMONS!!!

The Irish pronounce O'Meara as O'Mara, not O'Meera.

Arguably, this bloke pronounces both of his names incorrectly. 😉

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
