I think he had 15 hitouts and 11 Possesions from memory. Loved how he took the opposition on, love the confidence.
For a 2nd gamer, man there are some promising signs. We've got ourselves a real gem here

My van Berlo banner was on the big screen at the end of the game and VB gave me a thumbs up when all the players came over to thank the supporters.

Re: Crows v Dogs Discussion
Drummond, you are constantly complaining about rotations. Where do you sit?? On the outer side of the ground is my guess.
When the on-ballers come off the ground when rotated you get a good look at them from the grandstand side. These players are absolutely stuffed and in some cases they are so exhausted they actually throw up once on the boundary.
They are asked to run at maximum pace until they can't maintain maximum pace any more - which is why they get rotated.
It's that simple.
van Berlo 7 possessions 7 minutes into the game.
And guess what Craigy does? Takes him off.
Super bit of coaching that.

It's more or less the same with every side, they rotate their mids quite frequently. Plus VB was puffing when he came off.

Very impressed with Royly tonight. As for Knightsy, well mate, Macca23 and myself have backed you all the way through, don't forget us as you soar to stardom!! I'm seriously excited about this kid, as I now am about VB. It's amazing how much difference a week makes, but I tell you our younger players are really starting to come on. Even last week there were signs - Reilly, VB, Thommo, Knighta all getting amongst it and Griff showing a bit. I like what I see, but imo the test comes next week as we clash with the Power. Then we'll see how far our kids have come compared to theirs. I WANT BLOOD!!!

Knights really reminds me of Simon Goodwin, left footer, similar running style I think gives me that impression.
Radar will become an elite midfielder, he has had his detractors, but the class is there for everyone to see. It's only a matter of time.

I reckon he's got a bit of Dal Santo about him too in that although he's been criticised for his disposal, his ability to weave through traffic is very impressive. Chris Dal Goodwin is showing a lot of promise, that's for sure.

You have been blessed.

I never said too much because I thought I'd cop some backlash, but I was never a huge fan of VB. Until now. I'm seeing what everyone else has apparently been seeing for a couple of years. This kid is going places, and I don't mean returning to Perth.

Two VBs at one club = nonstop premierships....I likes it a lot.
Are we sure its not his son. Im assuming the great man was getting some at age 1 or 2 and we all know no condom can stop Van Berlo sperm.
