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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
