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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
