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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
