Adams and Buckley praise AVB

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

    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.

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

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
