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.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
