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

    christ didn’t realise about the car race

    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. 

    HUGE ALERT 🚨 

    DEES TWITTER ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THEN DELETED JVR DEBUT FOR SYDNEY 

    LOCK IT IN! RELEASE THE ROO

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

    Delighted for JVR. May he have a long and prosperous career in the Red & Blue!

    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.

    When one door closes (Gawny), another one opens.

    Congrats to JVR on his debut. Go well!

    Good luck to jvr . Hope there isn't a pile on here if he dosen't tear it up.

    Some people's Expectations I feel are ridiculously high.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
