I think that JVR will develop into a very good forward for us over the next few years but I would be vey careful in placing him in a position of being the No. 1 target in the forward 50 in the near future. I think we saw exactly what would happen if we did that this season in the game against Richmond. he had the Tigers no. 1 defender on him for 3 quarters and did very little. it was not until Balta was moved into the ruck that he had the chance to get off the leash a bit.

I would like to see him get support of an experienced tall forward next to him to take off the pressure. Brown would be my first choice for that role as I think the opposition would need to have their best defender on him. TMac? not really going to attract the best defender every week and he is looking very limited at the moment.

Might be time to give Schache a run there to see if he can fill the role.

We need to support the development of JVR and the best way to do that is to make sure he ha the correct support up forward.

I would get Brown in there so fast. Injuries aside - his form was fine.

He (Brown) does need to be able to jump and to run though.  
The Shack could be a better option right now.

Very similar feeling to when Hogan burst onto the scene back in 2015. Would love JVR to kick 40+ like Hogan did back then in his first year.

JVR's leap and mark reminded me of Naughton. When he gets a clear run and jump at it, he launches and collects it in front while laying waste to the bodies in his path. Very exciting!

JVR is nothing like Jack Watts.

Wattsy was expected to play a similar role when he was thrust into the team.

Play forward  and kick goals!

That's  all I am really comparing the three forwards. 

 

There us an article in the Sun about his brother pushing his draft case. can’t view it. 

perhaps he’ll be top 10? certainly worth a look! he look a big unit already!


Might be an idea to try Schachie when he's ready don't you think?

I guess we will have to wait until he's the sub in about round 20 though

Schache will play very soon. Maybe even defence...

He's not rated that highly.  He's not in any top 50s that I've seen.

But has time to move up across the course of the season.

I only want him if he's good.

Who his brother is is irrelevant to me.

Very true, except that there's an element of value towards them wanting to play together, assuming that is the case.

Different circumstances, but the Daicos boys are a good example of this. Genuinely love playing together

If jnr VR is good, I reckon we might put added work into him

If we miss out on him, so be it, but imagine if he goes to a WA club? That is worst case scenario. If Jacob keeps playing games like he did on Monday, Freo and West Coast will pick up his brother with their first pick even if they think he’s [censored] just for the chance of bringing them together 😂 Would love for a VIC club to pick Sam.

Risible suggestion to think they would waste their first pick to do that.

A and A Brayshaw say hi. 

If JVR kicks 3 or 4 goals a week then BBB is depth.

Nonsense. It would be a real feather in 🔔’s cap

  • 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.
