He could probably do with a rest anyway

    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??)

    I think that the Geelong game may have been the only AFL game this season that we finished with everyone uninjured.

    It's that kind of year

    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.

    Am I alone in thinking it bizarrely ironic that it's  JVR affected by concussion !!

    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.

    I’m hearing we’re now considering Sammy Van Rooyen in the mid-season draft to ease Jacob’s homesickness AND concusion symptoms.  The kid can do anything.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
