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?

    • Demonland changed the title to JVR is the Round 12 Rising Star …

    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.

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

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
