Disappointed that Jackson is out but liked this bit in the article “In a huge boost, Gawn is expected back for the Demons in round 17”. 
 

Thank god Max will be back. 
 

Can’t understand MBrown coming in would rather Thomo.

    I really don't see the benefit of Mitch Brown playing at all.

    Given a shot in 2 games this year and did sweet FA in both.

    Poor JVR has to miss a VFL game tomorrow because he is a travelling emergency. Wouldnt you just play the kid ahead of someone that's 32 and way past it and then certainty to be delisted at years end..

    Gawn/Jackson to be replaced by Spargo on Trac’s shoulders. 
     

    Moving on….

    Well they said Mitch.Brown is on stand by. He'd be on stand by anyway that's how it works.

    Surely Tomlinson would be well ahead of Mitch either in the team or as medical sub.

    Ruck Weed and promote JVR, Mitch goes missing in the forward line at AFL level. All well and good to reward effort but pointless in Mitch's case as he will let you down at AFL level.

    As above.

    Ah the dreaded Norm Smith Jake Spencer curse resurfaces

    I was thinking this as well. What is it about backup ruckman, they always seem to get injured just when they get their big chance? I am sure I remember if Jamar got injured so would Spencer and Stef Martin. When Gawn missed a some games a few seasons ago so did Braydon Pruess. Now Gawn goes down, Jackson lasts one game and Majak retires!

    I'd recognise Mitch Brown in a police line-up every time.

    Everyone relax will ya. We don’t have a ruckman for one game against a bottom 4 team. Half the comp plays without one every week.

    Actually we don’t really know who’ll be available next week, do we.

    Are you sure he's the travelling emergency or just one of the four named emergencies?

    I'd expect him to line up for Casey.

    Pretty sure there was footage of him training with the lads in Adelaide.

    Have they yet named his replacement?

    Surely Tomlinson must get a look in unless they want to debut JVR thrown right in the deep end.

    Yes, Mitch Brown in to the starting 22.

    Club said Gawn will be back. I’ll take the All Australian ruckman back. We can fit him in.

    Makes my suggestion last year, to keep Austin Bradtke for another year as Insurance, sound quite good now.

    It was foresight and not hindsight.

    I actually thought he was doing ok at CHB and in the ruck. Certainly no star, but good Insurance until we could bolster ruck depth.

        

    No foresight there. Sadly Austin wasn't close to VFL standard. Couldn’t ruck, mark, kick or handball.

    Was that a problem?

    I just want to know how bad the injury is and for how long he will be out?! Someone? anyone?

    Where did you read this? The Club haven’t said anything.

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

    Yet to be seen if he plays ruck...

    My guess is Ben Brown. Heaven help us if he gets injured.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
