A bit of love for him on twitter especially from bulldog supporters.

    How many years does he have left on his contract and are we taking it over, or doing a new one?

    He signed a 4 year deal with the Dogs at the end of 2019 after crossing from St Kilda.

    He's an upgrade on the Weid. We might get a year or 2 decent service while JVR is establishing himself. cover for BB and TMac both of home are injury prone as they get older. Granted, we don't know if he'll get back to his 2021 form given his knee injury but this is low cost, best available option play. There's not much downside in my view.

    There’s plenty of downside, he’s coming off a serious knee reco, looked like an unfit park footballer when he came back, at his 4th club, 30 years old, has a man bun & the worst Tatts in the AFL

    Imagine BBB & Bruce plonking along in straight lines in our already dysfunctional forward line

    Beg to differ re Tatts. Libber from the Dogs wins hands down.

    So he doesn’t work out. As long as not pay him too much or sign him to a long contract we haven’t risked too much. That’s what I mean by downside. 
     

    libbas and castagne from Tiges have worse tatts

    I hate myself for saying this a bit.

    We lack depth in tall forwards and outside midfielders. Let grab Bruce and Hunter if they are cheap and try and squeeze the most amount of talent we can.

    We are in the window. Let's go for it. I don't give a [censored] about his tattoos or hair (yeah, I rewatched Moneyball last night. Great film).

    A 30yo and 3rd club with knee issues to play with BB knee issues along with TMac foot issues .. great fit 

    If we combine them though they’ll make one complete footballer.

    We climbed into the window with young players like Jackson, Kozzie, Rivers, Bowey, Sparrow and JJ all being given opportunities. We slipped this year because our older players were supposedly banged up. I want the next generation of young talent that we have at Casey to be given opportunities.

    Unless the players we bring in are best 22 and still in their prime, it's a regressive move. I want our success to extend past a short window.

    What message is it sending to the young players if we keep topping up with older players with question marks? Young players are impatient. They'll seek opportunities elsewhere if they aren't given a chance.

    True mo64 but we are seriously lacking a tall forward and none of our kids apart from JVR fill the bill. I want JVR playing round 1 with Bruce a short term option to provide coverage for TMac and BB we got monstered when we lost both of them this year.

    Well it is if all you have to do to put him out for most of the season is stand on it

    Melb supporters - We need a key forward, player get a key forward. 
     

    Melb list managers - We are looking at Josh Bruce 

    Melb supporters -  Josh Bruce is rubbish, he had a knee injury and is going to to his 4th.  Why are we looking at this bloke

    We lost Mitch Brown, and Bruce is an upgrade on him. It’s that’s simple. He might come good and play in a premiership, or he might play a few cameos along the way that help us protect JVR and the like.

    Think of him as a coverage player and it makes a lot of sense.

    Looked far off it when he returned for the dogs this season

    Of course he did . Knee reco in round 21 is going to do that.

    I don't hate this.

    It's not low cost though, he's apparently on 500k.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
