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???

    He will come straight back in.

    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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
