Straight Sets Simon

vandenFyfe.

He's a star and probably the best defender in the league, but his kicking was putrid. It's better now, still not great but much better and that's a credit to him.

The criticism of his disposal was warranted.

You must be a laugh at parties, bluey.

I only just saw this on the replay (didn't even know it happened at the game). It was soft, but stupid by vandenBerg, as much as we love his aggression he will quickly learn when to control things a bit.

More Nathan Fyfe than Max Rooke. Bail isn't in the same league as vandenBerg. That's like saying Jamar is keeping Toumpas out of the team.

Then he had another chance later in the game from almost the exact same spot and slotted it.

The way he shoved Rance out of the way which resulted in our first goal was brilliant.

Without doubt his biggest weakness, but even then it's not terrible.

Pretty good effort by vandenFyfe tonight, missed a an easy opportunity in front of goal which was a shame.

A nice video showing Roos telling vandenFyfe that he will play his first (of at least 200) games.

Garlett missed the goal but the point still stands, that cut was a thing of beauty. If anyone has footage of it that would be great.

How good was the shove on Malceski by vandenFyfe for his first goal? He's supposed to be a midfielder remember.

Enough Magner talk. Back to my gushing over vandenBerg.

Not the worst comparison (long way to go I know).

From that first NAB Cup game where he came on as a sub I knew he would be a very good player.

I didn't see the game live, only just watched the replay this morning. This guy will be a star.

If it's from Patrick Keane, it's official.

It's just been confirmed that he has been upgraded here.

I'm already a massive fan and I think he deserves his own thread. With the teams announced tonight, what are the chances that he gets promoted and plays round 1? From all reports he didn't exactly light up Casey on the weekend, but I still have him in my best 22.

I've made that comparison many times in my mind already.

No, Todd Viney.

That's assuming we would get something for him.

What are the chances that Toumpas will be given a new contract after this season?
