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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
