Managed is the term for JVR.  We must not forget the kid is only 19 and wouldn't have played as many games as he has so far if BBB and TMac were available.  But after this performance he will only get 1 weeks "rest" in the VFL.

Jefferson kicks 4, but easy ones.  The kid has huge potential, reads the play, great pair of hands, but has little physical presence yet.  He also has to learn to jump off the ground when going for marks.  Not close to senior selection, but will be next year.

JJ just too good, and after this showing must replace Harmes next week.

Verrell.  Only his 2nd game, actually did better last week, but again a long way from senior selection, especially for a ruck.

 

Nah, kids a bust, don't you read Demonland? He has no "presence". Mind you, there is probably one in a thousand AFL 19y olds that have "presence". I think those ones are called "generational players".

    Shame we don't get a replay of that from Roo. Great play.

    The VFL is totally videoed each week and available in the AFL website. All Casey goals are repeated on our website generally each week. 

    it appears you are not utilising the AFL or our websites for info and club news.

    Getting a replay when it happens and watch the game again later is not quite the same thing.

    Isn’t this the intention when dropping promising youngsters? That they play well and get some confidence and form?

    JVR will have to come back as we figure out how to play without our best forward but there was nothing wrong with a 19 year old playing ‘2s’… that’s the least of querysome selection decisions of late.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
