I'd think he does.

Why and where will he play. He has no form. Let him earn promotion. JVR has earned a chance well before Joel.

Any thoughts about a shifty move - Harry Petty Forward, May into side.  Milky back to Casey and AMW in?  TMac play second ruck.

He's not a marking player, I don't know how many times this needs to be repeated. Collingwood fans know it all too well. Any expectation that he's going to take 5+ marks a game with a good % contested is just wrong - he's not that player and at 28 he's not going to be. 

No is asking him to go out and take 5 contested marks. Just be a target to bring the ball to ground or go and give a chop out done back. Watching McInerney sprint forward while Grundy laboured was damming footage.

He struggled to do both on the weekend. I'll cut him a little slack from that but now there's no excuses now for Sydney.

I'm backing him in to do well

surely melbourne supporters are too refined to watch cars race in a circle for 60 laps?

V8 Supercars maybe but hi-tech European speedsters with names like Ferrari and Mercedes could be a worry.

Neither. Sydney undoubtedly looking more dangerous, have beaten us twice at the MCG... gonna be hard to swallow if we lose to Brisbane and Sydney in consecutive weeks... AGAIN.

The bookies must think we’ll win to get everyone to pile on Sydney at over $2 (I’m not serious that not how bookies work)

And The Age tipsters are 7 to 4 a Melbourne win which surprises me.

Maybe those for us haven't looked at history, not that it is everything.

Given how bad the Bulldogs are and our loss to Brisbane, I'm not sure our performances so far are anymore noteworthy than Sydney's two mammoth wins.

Still feel they have the edge.  But hope the team bring it home for Oliver's 150th!!

 

Edit:  Haha, Fox tipsters have it the other way round:  6 to 2 Sydney!!

It's rare that media or neutral fans know about a team's 'bogey team' and history with them. One of those things only the club's supporters seem to care about.

Given no congratulatory debut video for JVR, thinking he may not be in this week. …

Of course he didn't. It's the beginning of his busy period given it will also be Palm Sunday.

Absolutely stoked that JVR is getting a call up.

I saw someone comment on the Demonland facebook page that the call up might be at the expense of Tommy Mac being out with a foot injury. Yep it was on Facebook so it must be true. I know, I know. But if there is some truth to it we need to cover him and Max being out. Another tall needs to come in otherwise it will leave Benny Brown the lone tall in the forward line at times.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
