    It seems that Roo is being paired with Max as 2nd ruck option.

    JVR looks to have pretty good skills as a ruck, particularly his tap work.

    He did a fair bit of relief ruck at Casey in 2022 and was an important back up at times during the 2023 season.  

    It is easy to forget how young JVR is. He's 21 next April, so still 3-4 years away from being at his peak physically. By then he could well be exactly what we were hoping Jackson to be - a good second ruck and excellent key forward.

    No. 

    Mid to late next season is what I've read as best case scenario.

    But agree he looks in great shape. That said, whilst I'm to orthopedic surgery what Hodge is to commentary I'm surprised how hard he seems to be working that knee in some of the photos of one on one marking contests.

    jvr's leap and ability to read the flight of the ball is a distinct advantage as a secondary ruck

    For the little time he has spent as a ruck in the ones, when he manages to win the tap, I have been pleasantly surprised just how many taps go to our advantage. I think if he were 6cm taller we’d be selling Gawny to the swans, and looking for a new key forward.

    The thing I liked when JVR was asked to ruck was that even though lacking in inches he was seldom moved aside by the opposing ruckman.

    JVR looks like a man mountain.

    He must be over 100 kg.

    Looks fearsome.

    Goodwin seems to be enjoying himself. That should upset the Herald Sun no end.

    All good.

    That's why i am thinking he is progressing faster than expected

    He's def ahead of schedule but given 12 months is the standard recovery period for an ACL, which would be near the end of the 2024 home and away season.

    Let's say he makes it back in 10 months he could play his first game back not too long after the bye, say aprox round 15.

    If that's the case, he wouldn't be going hard at it first week back of pre season

     

    Be interesting the hear his official comeback time

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
