I always thought it was Y-zeeee 😁

Only if you're American. Then again, I'm surprised his team nickname wasn't Why-zeddy.

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

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

    Yeah, it just shows you that even if someone pronounces their own name a certain way, it doesn't mean it's correct.  For example Karl Stefanovic is pronounced Stefarnovich

    Isn't that funny! I pronounce it as something starting with A & ending with E, that wouldn't make it past the automatic censor filter!

    BTW, it's Sa-lem, not Sayle-em. Emphasis is on the 'lem'.

    Heard it pronounced by his family

    Anyone know what his nickname is inside the club (I'm looking at you @WalkingCivilWar)

    As far as I know it’s Rooey. Young Deakin Smith once told me that players tend to have “about 40 nicknames floating around” but they always seem to stick with the most obvious. Hence, he’s Deaks. 😁 So I’d say Rooey is Rooey.

    7 disposals, 2 marks, 1 behind.

    He’ll be a handy workhorse forward or a good key defender in a couple of years but he’s a still a fair way off.

    Schache would’ve played if he didn’t manage to get himself concussed in a very Schache way.

    9 disposals, 3 marks and 3 goals and one goal assist.  Its a tick.

    The most pleasing thing (other than the three snags) for me was the 6 tackles.

    He doesn't just bring courage in the air and an ability to genuinely split packs (which will get better in time) but he also hunts opponents on the ground.

    Rooey is the final piece of the puzzle

    We now have all bases covered

    Best Backline in the comp.

    Two of the best wingman, All Australian Rucks and on ballers 

    Elite crumbers and magic in Kozzie, Spargo and Chandler 

    Very consistent , opportunistic and classy medium tall in Fritter.

    The final piece being the genuine power forward in JVR

    Correction: final piece the four-peat!

    (I hope you don't mind my nit-picky amendment.)

    We were certainly blessed in 2021. We got the long the awaited premiership and JVR with our first round draft pick.

    Judd McVee, Blake Howes & Taj Woewodin too! Looking forward to seeing the latter pair at some stage.

    Thought he had a great first game.

    I saw him fly and almost grab a couple of marks and then he took that beauty. He floated around or over the pack rather than through it. 
     

    he really did remind me of a young David Schwarz.  Hope that is not a hex!

    I am very happy to pronounce him a bloody star in the making.  ❤️💙❤️💙

    No pressure on the kid first game. Let him experience it....

     

    PS. If he doesn't kick at least 8 I'm going to be brutally disappointed 😝

    Brutally disappointed 😉

     

    Awesome debut.

    Only been calling for him to get a game since the norf game last year....

    There's usually a few master givers of nicknames at footy clubs and nicknames can be derived from the most randomness of 'stuff'.

    As an asides, I've actually been woundering where 'Chin' came from?

    Had to smile when he was slapping high 5s after his mark in the last before he'd even taken his kick.
    He'd still be on a high now I'd reckon.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
