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..

Rooooooooooooooooo!

 

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

Brilliant and well deserved. He’s going to be a special player. 

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.

David Schwarz?

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.

Well called by some.

Not for a moment undeserved but am pleasantly surprised.

Roooooooooooooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏

About F’ing time. Judd next up

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. 

Will be interviewed on 360 tonight.

When's he on the books til ? 

Might need to get the paperwork out ;)

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

And Ross Dillon. But have a lot of time for JVR. Intelligent young man. Big future.

Is Kade Chandler eligible?

Not at 23 years old

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?
