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 🚨

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
