Much more pleasing than Rising Star this week was Roo's up the ground movement. Lot to like about his solid play yesterday moving in and out of congestion..

    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

    Never in doubt.

    😉

    Now he just needs a quick 40 goals in the second half of the season and we'll have our fourth Rising Star winner. All talls, which is odd.

    Does this help his brother's draft prospects?

    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.

    And to all the previous posters who said he was no hope …maybe you can understand why more “positive “ posters get so sick of the negativity. Well deserved JVR ..

    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.

    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.

    Hopefully he isn’t as enamoured with his hometown as others.

    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?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
