12 April 2025 - Dees 8.9.57 lost to Bombers 15.6.96
0-5. You can see they are trying their hearts out, especially our younger players like Roo, but it is just not clicking on the field yet.
The good bits:
Disposal efficiency = 86%
9 hit outs providing excellent support to Gawny

29 March 2025 - Dees 8.14.62 lose to Suns 18.12.120
Our forward line is yet to click this season, but with both Koz and The Duke back next week, it is hoped that our system of forward entries will improve with a bit more pace and dare in the team - which will make life easier for our tall forwards.
Roo had 4 score involvements, and his usual excellent disposal efficiency - 86%.
He kicked one goal and also had a goal assist.

23 March 2025 - Dees 9.12.66 lose to North 19.11.125
This photo sums the game up perfectly, ball kicked into a 3-1 contest, not in our favour.
Hopefully the foward line delivery is just experiencing "teething issues" and improves quickly from here. It appeared in the pre-season that we'd moved on from bombing it long into contests where we are out-numbered...
Roo had 4 tackles, the equal third highest of any Demon. He also kicked a magnificent goal from the boundary - Watch it here

16 March 2025 - Dees 11.8.74 lose to GWS 11.11.77
A very wet and slippery day at the G was not great conditions for our tall forwards.
Despite losing by a few points, it was actually an exciting game for us - seeing our six new players fit in and immediately contribute, and we were able to stick with the very good Giants for nearly the whole game.
Aiden Johnson and Matt Jefferson look like they will be good forward line buddies for Roo. AJ being the big body up forward, and taking the second ruck grunt work off Roo will free our boy up over the season. Along with Disco, a very exciting and very young mix - and that's just the talls.
