Whilst I think AVB has shown genuine concern and represented both himself and the club beautifully, the collective response from Collingwood has been equally first class - firstly Mihocek's parents and now this from both Adams and Bucks. 

Rare example of the game looking after itself.

 

Really enjoying this thread.  Seeing a different side of one of my favorite players makes me love him even more!

Haha. AVB knocks a bloke out and then starts making moves on his girlfriend. Old-school legend. 

Well after all he is a mounting man.

Yes Oldfart, I noticed you have been an ardent supporter all along and have never had him out of your side. 

IMHO we have to improve a hell of a lot before AVB is not an automatic selection. 

AvB I feel the same way football wise as I remembered Paul Wheatley. Totally different player although I reckon we looked a different side when he was playing. His running and kicking penetration made us dangerous and a better football side. Aaron's the same, better when he's in. Also felt the same way with Dean Kent.

With apologies to Viney Snr and Rod Grinter AVB is the only Demon who could have taken on and help his own physically with the likes of Dipper and Derrmie. Wish he was around in 87-88

Neita says hi :)


VDB  is a credit to his Family  a true champion person   . It would have been an accident with him but only has eyes for the ball. 

He cleaned him up  but it was in the play and unintentional however wasn't claiming the scalp he was concerned about Mihocek's 

well - being. That is what you call a classy caring person.  

As a matter of interest, did the MRO make any comment on the incident?

As a matter of course, I think the MRO (or someone working for him) should look at every incident which causes a concussion. There are two reasons to do so. One is that the AFL should be looking at all instances of concussion to see what happened and whether any changes are needed to game rules, umpiring, game style, instructions to clubs, etc to protect players. Secondly, if they looked at every incident, there would be no accusations of players being unfairly treated should some incidents be looked at and others not. In this instance, I would be in doubt that vandenBerg would be cleared of any wrongdoing.

Even then, it looked as if most of the damage was done when his head hit the ground.

Taylor Adams is a good bloke too.

So cheese and a bit of plonk will win your heart Jaded ?? 

I tried it with Ben Ean Moselle and a bit of cheddar and it didn't work !!!

I get real blockhead vibes from Adams during games, but this has made me reconsider.

Going to bed with Vanders is a frightening prospect. Get crunched in a hug and then he probably misses the intended 'target'.

He's definitely a competitor on the field.

great player too

 

This better not impact his presence on the footy field..... at present (yep went there) his presence scares the living [censored] out of any nearby opponents - would hate for that impact to be reduced as they now see him as a nice bloke instead

But yes top bloke and massive thumbs up from me

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
