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..

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
