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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
