He’s depth so will go when our stars return - but he is showing a lot and just shows the depth we have.

reckon he has earned another 1 year contract that for sure
Dunno about that. He's keeping rioli out of the side and if anything on current form higgins goes out before aarts if rioli forces his way in. There's no one else to come back in for the role he's playing.

Is a clever player, reads the play well and gets to the right spots.

I thought he was just a goer gives all , but his got a good footy brain and few tricks and love how he stays involved.

I agree , Looks better the more he plays,

As players come back in , Jack Ross and Higgins go before him imo

Is doing his job and is being asked a lot with the failure of George and Daniel to impose themselves of recent.

Has a dip and is hard at it for the team, and fairly reliable in front of the sticks after his early nervous yips leading up to his first.

plays small forward like an old fashion resting rover.

gets front and centre to the fall of the ball at the perfect time.

hes tough and crafty.

he could well end up a premiership player.

wouldnt he be a hero if he got 4 weeks in a prelim?

who'd have thunk? not me

Aarts seems to have the innate ability to know where a crumb is going to appear and pounces on it and generally uses it wisely. The opposition haven't worked him out yet so right now he can rack up the goals with a minimum of attention from others at their peril

I reckon he's set now, Brighter.
This bloke has battled his guts out for years in the VFL and has now finally got a chance. He's grabbed it with both hands and I can't see him slacking off at all.
Would be another feel good story if Aarts gets a premiership medal.
