Impressive contribution from young Joey

Stayed in the moments, some great work higher up the ground in traffic and only saw him beaten once in a 1 v 1 vs very credible oppo in Weitering

Another small hop

David Schwarz?

After his first few games, I saw a strong likeness to Schwarta in the way Roo plays, and I still see it!  Long may it continue, sans knee recos of course!  Future star of the comp.

I love Roo’s set shot kicking action. Lots of Dunstall and Lockett vibes about it. Well studied and precise.  Looks like 40 metres out is about his limit but so it was for those two.

Woo hoo . . . love the Roo.

I've watched every young tall forward that has come to the club in 50 years. Outside of Jesse, no one is better than JVR at the same stage of his career.

I saw young Ox - uncanny resemblance in his movement and his swaggering body language.  Very disciplined set shot actin - maybe he could join Mr Williams in a workshop.

Magnificent recruitment and development from the club. Pick 19 is a steal.

Jacob looks a great prospect. And critically he has that insane will to compete and win. That celebration after his goal was so good.  He wants this bad and he is as tough as nails.

Going early but I think we might have one this week.

Just can’t decide if it’s going to be Judd McVee or Jacob van Rooyen.

What does 'She, who must be obeyed think?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
