It just makes sense. We gotta give it a go. Brown wont even be fit to play any games anyway. At least we get someone who is fit and playing alongside his bro could do wonders for him. 

 

I have never seen Sam play but isn’t he an 18yo KPF who didn’t get drafted?  
 

They take time. 2 or 3 years in our system  before they get a game seems to be the norm (assuming they are good enough). Doesn’t seem a wise LTI replacement for mine.

No!

 

W.A teams had a good look, and said no.

 

  • Demonland changed the title to Sam Van Rooyen in for Ben Brown on LTI?

This is a great idea if SVR has suddenly morphed into a mature age back up ruckmen. 


Grit your teeth, touch wood, then consider that by type Sam VR would be a more direct replacement for Smith. 

Demonland posts are getting dumb & dumber. First a Tim English wild goose chase then this rubbish.

Some posters should get a life.

No it doesn’t.

I don't think we would even be having this discussion if Sam had a different surname.

Indeed. Forget his surname 

is he good enough,   He might make JvR feel better in melb. But that is the only other consideration

Still training with Freo who are going to come super hard for JVR.

Take emotion out of it and from a football perspective explain how it makes sense?

I’d say no, but I do think we would be monitoring Sam’s younger brother who could be the best of all 3 of them. 

Only just back running after a full year out of footy, hopefully BVR gets some games under him this year

Is that you're thinking or is it being spoken about?

Of course Freo would already be speaking about it… 

He is contracted till end of 2026 I believe. Would be Adelaide/ Petty all over again so I think we will look at JVR late in the year and extend again hopefully if all going well.

That may only be 2025 actually I apologise. 

more likely for Fritsch’s bro to play with us

Really, they have Jai  Amiss long term who will be a gun and other holes to fill across the ground before getting tied up chasing JVR

The sheer fact that his brother is training with them is a big enough sign surely? Every club overlooked him in the draft and even rookie draft yet Freo are giving him a chance even though he’s probably not up to AFL standard? Where are Freo’s holes? Midfield is stacked, rucks are stacked and backline is strong. They would be drooling at the potential of a JVR/Amiss forward line, their forward line is their weakest point, there’s no partner for Amiss yet

They wouldn’t be able to afford Jackson, Darcy, Amiss and JVR. Would have to involve swapping Darcy for JVR, but let’s not worry about that.

They have the big Cohuna who’s not a bad 3rd option 

Winding BBB up is an option, but I doubt we’d do it just now or for a kid. 

We’d need to replace like for like with a mature tall

SVR worth tracking for a mid season pick if he doesn’t stick with Freo

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
