The video is about Jacob van Rooyen, a key forward for Melbourne FC. Jacob's father is not Australian and introduced him to footy when he was young. Jacob had an all-right 2020 season despite the challenges of the pandemic. Jacob's style of play involves using his body to work with his opponent and relying on his marking ability to take most of his goals. Jacob's focus during the off-season and preseason is to develop and play with the bigger bodies on the senior team at Claremont.
