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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
