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 ..

And it's the same posters with their Eeyore stuff in every thread. Must be fun at parties.

    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..

    Being mobile upfield makes a forward a target, maximises opportunities, draws out defenders and hopefully leads them for dead, exploits space or double-back-across, particularly if they are quick, agile, strong, can mark, can kick a mile and is accurate over 55m out. JVR has got all of these attributes. Plus, he's a team player and man. He can only improve. Congratulations JVR, rising star is a very good marque to reach, so early.

    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.

    Watch Collingwood try to "ginger up" the new boy. I think he has a bit of the Neil Balmes about him...

    I really liked the look of JVR on Friday night he has footy nous and steely determination  great teamwork and kicks goals and he really earnt this nomination. Well done young man, so glad we didn’t rush him last year it has paid off in spades. Looking forward to a long career in the Red and Blue.!!!!

    Well done to the young bloke!

    Showed real maturity in the game last Friday evening.  Cool and calculated and is really coming on

    Would love to see him play CHF and further afield (when applicable) as he has play-making attributes

    He's not just a goal kicking KPF

    These clowns are the only bad thing about the site in reality. We have a club that won a flag 2 years ago, has the best 3 players of the last 30 years in the team, and has a crack every week. I enjoy this footy parallel universe to the previous 50 years and the incessant negativity / baiting is moronic, low brow and juvenile. Always the same posters and I have neither the will nor inclination to engage but it is almost always a frustration.

    Maybe you should practice what you preach then. Greatest hypocrisy I have read on this site.

    Rising Star indeed! Where others struggled for accuracy, young fella stepped up to the mark and showed how it is done. Beyond which was an impressive four quarter performance.

    Well Done Rooey! Another feather in JTs cap.

    McVee is silky smooth, but it’s hard for him to to impose himself on the game playing shut down roles in the back pocket.

    Congrats to the young man. Didn't think he was going to get it, but very pleased for him.

    Hope he has a day out against the Pies

    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.

    One of them will win Best First Year Player at our AGM, but which one?

    Right now, my money is on Judd. Less spectacular and less noticeable but consistently effective and brings a line breaking attribute we lack.

    What do they get for a nomination these days? 

     

    It used to be a big telly.  

    Remember on the Sunday Footy Show when participants in Lou's Handball used to get a Telefunken DVD recorder? I remember thinking how much I'd have loved one of those. 

    Needless to say all these machines are probably laying in a tip somewhere..

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
