    The AFL might request Vandenberg wear a warning sign on his jumper this year.

    'Tackle at own peril'

    May did say he was a ‘strong dog’ or something along those lines.

    HB told me at the family day he is going for round 3. He looked like he was serious. one of the most gifted players ever.

    Wow... that’s big news. That would vfl and IF all went well that might translate into round 9 or so. Like everyone else here my fingers are crossed.

    That's fantastic and I hope it's realistic and not overly optimistic.

    I was at a function in Perth on Preliminary Final day and Jake Lever said he was aiming for a Round 1 return in 2019. He returned in Round 12.

    Remember when Trac did his ACL before the start of his debut year and wanted to come back by round 23 and play? Haha, 12 month minimum for ACLs ol Jake the snake should know that

    Would you even play him in the VFL? It’s like having Ablett on your list. Most talented player we have got. Oliver, Petraccaand Gawn are not in the same league.

    Yeah he’s gotta get some run in his legs in the closet thing to an afl match before he actually plays one, imagine the heart break of a senior call up and doing the calf in the first 5 minutes.

    Given he's not even in enough condition to join the main rehab group this seems a tad optimistic. Goody was saying mid year Pert was saying 4 or 5 games for the season would be a big win which would put it at about round 22. I'd be very very happy if it was around round 16 to 18. I'd be ecstatic if it was mid year. I'd be very very worried if it was round 3.  I don't care how long it takes as long as it means he firstly comes back at all and secondly comes back and never breaks down again.

    I reckon Goody and Pert are lowering expectations wowing mid-season or 6 game season, and Harley being optimistic re- round 3... 

    So round 6 (vs Tigers) or Round 7 (vs Dons) seems a possibility...

    Bring it on!

    That Lockhart report has me worried about a torn pec. Hope it’s nothing.

    With Hannan I just want to see him running smoothly rather than so stiff and awkwardly. Is he starting to move better?

    With Lockhart there was no indication of a pec, he pointed to his bicep, nothing more.

    Hannan is running quite freely but I've seen players do the same rehab routine as him and do it for 4 or 5 weeks (Tomlinson) so it's really hard to tell when he'll be back.

    Love the optimism from Harley but I think realistically he won't be out on a footy field for at least a little while after that. The cub should definitely be mindful of him trying to push too hard, particularly if they can see him getting excited to be back out there.

    Let's not get too carried away, I'd be hugely surprised if he spent less than 4 or 5 weeks at VFL level before even being considered for the 1s. He spent a lot of time in the WAFL before getting a game for a poor Freo side

    A couw of thoughts from those clips. 

    Firstly combined in less than 8 hours they have had over 1000 views. Given they are in no way notable, it shows the demand for video content. And quality is not a worry.

    Secondly the jackson v may clip shows msgs strength but also highlights how quick jackson is to recover. He will be tough match up up forward. If you don't out mark him and the ball hits the ground he is likely to get to it first.

    He probably changed his mind and didn't want to be involved after seeing how we played.

    On point 1: Given more job losses in journalism today the reporter should splash a big AFL Media watermark on them and start the clip with a sponsors message.

    Or to be more cynical maybe the club should ban filming of training by AFL reporters without a sponsors message.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
