• All aboard the Roo Train!!!

• The JvR Appreciation Society is bursting with pride at what he was able to do against the Saints.

• His incredible fitness, and a new coach, and a game plan with faster ball movement into the forward line are all helping - as is having an experienced, clever, tall forward to support him.

• But you can't take a pill to build confidence, you need to find that from within, and Roo's done it. 

• It's so lovely seeing him now believe in himself as much as we have always believed in him.

• 6 goals - 5 in the first half to set the game alight, and beating his previous best return of 4.

• 7 marks, and 9 score involvements - the most of any Demon player.

• Also, his usual excellent disposal skills - Disposal Efficiency of 85.7%.

• Video from Channel 7 of all of Roo's 6 goals here

• Post match interview with JvR on the MFC website here

• We are just so darn proud and happy!!!
