It probably saves Disco from a week or 2 at Casey. 
it also gives JVR a chance to potentially get some confidence at Casey next week.

I wonder if he will travel to Perth anyway to catch up with family?  Pity he can't get to perform in their presence.

I would suspect that he will return to the team once ready - doubt if he will play at Casey.  (May depend on the timing of concussion protocols and of the Casey game)

But it will be interesting who they play in Perth - BBB maybe as he seemed to get plenty of the ball at the weekend.  Or maybe Fullerton to give Max some chop out as well.  Who else could be the back up ruck? Petty maybe?  

I don't know - how are the WCE rucks?  (Far, far  left field - ?? Verrall to debut as Max's deputy??)

Having to watch Tom Morris smugly reporting this is nauseating.

Doubt it...from what I've seen he struggles in the ruck.

The entire family have all moved into the Wizard of Kozzies Melbourne bungalow after his post convinced the club to sack Ben Brown and recruit Sammy Van Rooyen in the mid season draft

The other night when I was outside the ground I saw him & TJ. One is extremely awkward & the other one you wouldn't tell your secret to because he'd tell everyone

In case you don't understand JVR won’t play VFL  He is out with concussion!!

Or are  you suggesting he will play VFL the following week?

The following week. I’m assuming his replacement will play well and we will win comfortably.

JVR’s form hasn’t been strong enough to walk straight back in so I’d love to see them give him a week to play out of his skin. Which I think he would.

If JvR does play at Casey the following week it will give us hopefully an exciting glimpse of him and Jefferson paired up in the same forward line.

And we hear today that Turner and Fullerton have new injuries.

Deja vu late 2023 😮😢

How far off really is Melksham???

No offense to our next two opponents, but I rather have injuries now than in September.

JVR and Turner are both minor, and McAdams is a week away. 
Ben Brown seems to be in good form (goal kicking aside), and is a very solid replacement for Disco. 

Petty and TMac will need to do some ruck work to help Gawn out this week is my guess.

What a shame. Likely to play his best in front of family and friends.

Despite seemingly dropping in form this year to last year he's still very young in game experience.

I really believe Jvr is going to have a big future at this club. He will fiil out more and once he starts clunking everything than yippee.

I wish he didn't have to help in the centre ruck so he can just concentrate on his fwd craft.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
