Need to get him out of the ruck.. he is a good 2nd ruck, but you ain’t putting Winx in the Grand Annual Steeplechase.

So who plays second ruck?

Fullarton as 2nd ruck?

Who goes out to allow a tall player who has hardly been great at Casey into the side. 

[BoBo 2,074]

Only 21 and has already had break out games. 
 

3-4 years until he begins to hit his peak traditionally as a big forward. 
 

Very happy.

He ain’t Winx and we don’t have a second steeplechaser worthy of a game besides Gawn. 

So chase them steeples, Jacob…

Kyah Farris white til 2029 is next hopefully 🙏

BBB. Managed due to bone on bone knees.

Great news to keep JVR on board until at least 2029.

Just turned 21. He has shown more than most in of his age. 

Now all we need to do is continue to change the way we play to ensure he continues to develop.

It’s his 21st birthday today! 🥳🍻🍰💥🥳

Instead of receiving a gift, he’s given us a gift. Atta boy, Rooey!

I think people forget how young he is. He's giong to be a monster for us in another couple of years.

To celebrate Rooey re-signing, the Club is offering junior memberships for $29 for a limited time. At midnight last night I bought my unborn granddaughter membership for $65. Could’ve saved $36. Oh well, the money goes to the Club so it’s all good.

Thank you!!! She’s due in August, just in time for finals. In years to come she can tell everyone how she was born in a Dees premiership year ❤️💙

Just like me she’ll have been indoctrinated into being a Dees supporter, haha. Born into a better era. 
 

I lost interest in AFL in my younger years and even then, when people were saying we were finished as a club, I couldn’t change teams. Red and blue is in my blood.

He did get a nice gift, the honour of playing for Melbourne for 4 more years and probably a lot of money for a 21 year old 😂

Like my boy in 2021. Just have to get him to stop singing that bloody Blues theme song and his latest trick, shouting "go Blues" out the window... 🤦

Congrats mate.

Great News 

[John Crow Batty 8,255]

Many players who are not established stars sign extensions when running hot then their form drops. JVR not so hot at the moment. Hoping he goes against the grain and fires up big time.

ROOOOOOO!!!!

Huge signing and shores up our forward stocks.

Roo-signed | Young Demon locked in

 

Not convinced! 🤔

[DubDee 20,643]

I literally cannot remember a time when all our players wanted to sign up in the past 40 years

The club and staff have to be commended 

Poor start to 2024 but he has the aggression and skill to be a 200 game KPF

Just tell him what I believed as a kid - that the Blues was the second team of the Dees (since we're the team of the red and the blue).  By the time he realises, he'll be too old to care!

[JJJ 505]

His marking and body work this year have been disappointing but as @rpfc pointed out, changing the way we bring the ball forward could alleviate a lot of the problems.

Its a good signing for us.
