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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
