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.

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

Thats a shame, we need more father/sons in red n blue

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
