Tomlinson is the same height, Brown is not a ruck and at his age it's not the time to start so it made sense for JVR to do some ruck time. It's good for his development and it wasn't taking time from anyone else.

As others have said it looks like he (JVR) is a bit taller than the 193 he was at draft time.

For what it's worth if Jackson misses I think Tommo will probably come in as back up.

JVR was contesting centre bounces against a 100kg 205cm ruckman in Ned Moyle.  It was as idiotic as RDB putting Robbie Flower at full back against Malcolm Blight. That really helped Robbies' development.

By all means let JVR contest throw ins in the forward line if you think it helps his development.

This is factually incorrect. Max is possibly the best tap ruckman of all time. Both his hit outs and hits to advantage are elite

 

Yeah well I tend also to disagree as well!

Conspiracy theory - Does Melb want to find out to what degree Weid can hold down second ruck possy next year, by giving him the full game in ruck this week? 

I assumed the conspiracy theory would be the clubs been told about Luke’s future and are shelving him. 


Melksham and Brown captured in the footage of the Captain’s Run at Adelaide Oval a short time ago. Couldn’t spot Hunt or Tomlinson.

Mitch Brown to ruck ?

I think we should all get a grip. We have Weid most likely as the No. 1 ruck for a whole week before Max gets back. We're playing Adelaide, we have a gun midfield that will adapt and shark. If Weid plays like he did last week, against an inferior side (compared to Brisbane), he will do more than OK. BBB has done a lot of back up ruck work for North over the years and can come in if the sky falls in (which it wont). Not that excited by M Brown or Thommo coming in but hopefully they'll do their job. Don't forget everyone, we've got an ace up our sleeve with Harmsie to the ruck!

 

Jackson officially ruled out (afl website)

Another conspiracy/rumour floating around is that Goodwin wasn’t keen on Jackson flying to Adelaide because he was concerned that if he saw WA on the in-flight map it would make him homesick and tilt his decision away from Melbourne.

Both theories entirely possible.

My view about Aaron Bradtke last year was that he was being played in the key defensive positions because he wasn’t developing as a ruckman. 

In any event, the record shows that Bradtke was registered with VAFA B Section club Old Haileybury on 17 March, 2022 and has only managed 3 games at that level, the last of which was on 28 May, 2022. This indicates that he’s not doing anything to suggest that the decision to delist him was incorrect.

Could he be injured?


like it or not You’d think Tomlinson would have to be the medi sub in front of melksham, JVR and hunt

a bit more versatile if a tall or a small goes down during the game

Mitch Brown has been selected as Jackson's replacement. That's who should have been playing 2nd ruck at Casey last week.

  • Demonland changed the title to TEAMS: Rd 16 vs Adelaide

Note Port have been going very nicely of late with Findlayson as their no 1 ruck. Makes a contest and gets a lot of ground ball.

As Nightwish dialogue declared before Triumphant DVD set

"Shudder, before you fall"


So Jackson lasts one game as a number one Ruck. Awesome. I'd now trade him. I'm saying this as I got him into my SuperCoach team with almost no trades left. Does anyone know how bad it is. Not Angry just disappointed.

I’ll never forget Austin’s sheer delight at Optus Oval when we won the flag. He rushed on the ground with his mates  to celebrate a Flag with the team he’s always followed.

It must have been a setback  to not be able to pursue his Demon AFL dream.

Jack Bell is from Old Haileybury, too.

A pity Majak didn’t retire a few weeks earlier to open a spot for us to draft him mid-year.

That big Smith guy looks all right at Casey, too.

I always thought McInerney looked promising at Casey.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
