Let's try and add a different flavour to this. Fre supporters have to suffer enough having Luke Jackson and giving up a top pick.
Now they have to suffer the fact we have JVR...
Went and checked out bigfooty at Freo. It's not @Lucifers Heroquality but close enough. Enjoy!
• Awesome mark and goal by JVR.
• Anyone know if we are in Van Rooyens ear?
• Van Rooyen on fire here
• JVR is a gun. Wish we had drafted him.
• JVR + Amiss. Imagine if we had the guts to do it. We had the picks. Could have set us up for 15 years.
• JVR, Amiss and Johnson woulda been quite the haul
• Set up the contest for the goal. Mark and goal. Free kick and behind. Mark then goal. JVR doing it all
• It's hard not to think that Amiss and JVR could have been our version of a Buddy and Roughead haul to set us up for a decade.
• Probably hoping he would've slid to 21... should've just had the balls to take him at pick 10 instead of Erasmus. I rated JVR much higher then where he actually went.
• Could of done a Hawks and gone JVR and Amiss pick 8 & 10. Jobs done. And no go home factor
• Think we are hoping Treacy can do a JVR.
• Doubt it. JVR spent his whole first year in the VFL and kicked 37 from 19 games. Treacy's best return is 19 from 14.
• JVR again, * me what a player
• He just looks so much like a FF. The toughness, the swagger. He did in his draft year too 🙁
• How did JVR slide to pick 19? I mean seriously.
• Sigh. What could have been, what could have been...
• JVR will be attracting quality defenders from now on.
• We’re gonna regret not picking JVR up Freo supporter, right under our noses this ******* club.
• Thing is I don't think JVR would've been a reach at pick 10. All the recruiters must've been on drugs or some s**t for him to slide to 19.
• JVR has some aggro and swagger about him. Powerful unit and physically imposing. Plays a bit like Treacy but with more talent and athleticism. Would have been a perfect combo with Amiss.
He was ranked right up there to start the year, then had glandular fever (?) and slid down.
We were handed two WA spearheads on a platter and still wouldn't take both. Mids can always be found in later years.
• Until & if Erasmus starts to boss AFL it’s going to look like a hell of a blunder not to take Amiss & JVR. Couldn’t have known Johnson would still be there at 20 but even so, as others have mentioned mids are easier to find & quicker to develop and we could have had our key forwards sorted for 10 years. Sigh . . .
lastly, my favourite one.
• All good we’ll give Melbourne 2 first rounders and a second for him in 2 years time.
