I wouldn't mind seeing him back. The guy had so much potential.

Is that you JimmyG?

    Or perhaps they should - some resilience training.

    I believe it was part of frosty, omac and nibblas training regime.

    Schache, Francis and Weid are good reminders to not risk talls in the top 10 unless they are dead set freak talents like LJ. 

    The risk is higher and it’s harder to judge a big unit taking marks on 17yos

    Fair call, he Waa clunking them better, which suggests it's not a technique thing.

    I predict after another preseason the days of jvr being underrated will be well gone.

    If Jefferson can fulfil his potential (which would free up petts to go back or play as a swingman) talk of needing to bring in another key forward will also be gone.

    I don’t get why some demonlanders are so hard on JVR.  He’s played 41 games and his goals kicked at this stage (41 games) is more than Josh Kennedy, Nick Riewoldt, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Hawkins, and Tom Lynch who have about 20 All Australians between them.  All except Tom Hawkins really hit their straps around the 50 game mark (Tom Hawkins around 100 games).  I think he’ll be a 50 goal forward in 2025, especially if we get it in quickly to create more 1 on 1s.

    Mature forward to help our younger players developed just what we need.....lets get him as a rookie... :(

     

    Started well, he had the skills, just not the mental drive to use them at the AFL level.  

     

     

     

    Really Darkhorse !!

    suggesting a forward who was a nice bloke but failed in sO many simple ways at footy  to assist our young forwards now is like the most ridiculous comment and idea I’ve heard of. 
    Next you will want Mark Neeld to be part of the Dees next  coaching succession plan. 

    Please be a a very dark darkhorse and don’t stand for any board or FD positions should they become available in the now or future.

    I don’t think a failed forward is a good role model for our younger forwards 

    JVR would be a good mentor for SW

    Disagree never enough talls. 
    Grab Tauru at 5  and one of the top mids even at 9. 

    Tauru is an X factor as he plays both ends and a freakish mark. A game changer in other words. 

    One mid this year plus Sharp and Brown to surprise with run and carry to assist our game plan.

    I recall Eddie banging on about his grandpa playing for Collingwood, on Foxtel for Weids 1st game. Maybe they can relist him, if Membrey fails the medical!?  For the romance... 🤷‍♂️

    I'd say impatience has alot to do with it Watson and I quite often find myself falling into this trap with JVR.  I'm guessing the lack of other well peforming big key forward options around him at present also has a fair bit to do with it as we are actually looking to him to be the man and the focal point of our attack.

    I also think we are somewhat forgetting that LJ had a bunch of other mature key forwards around him that took the brunt of the defenders and pressure off him most of the time.   Even then, for most of our 2021 season the story was that we were great defensively, but our forward line was a weakness, which really only clicked the last 3 or 4 games of the home and away and kept surging with momentum in the finals series.

    Weid currently on SEN. Sounded pretty bummed about not being offered a new contract from Essendon and stated there had been little interest from other clubs. He then advised though that his priorities have changed and the hunger to play AFL is currently no longer as strong as it is. Best of luck in your future endeavours, Sam!

    What a modest and likeable young man he is. He just gave a really  impressive interview on SEN.

    He said he wished he had been tried down back a bit earlier.  A lot of us on Demonland thought that at the time, too.

    Some how I don’t find most of the sarcasm in D/Lers is astute or not clever. Let’s not make fun that can easily be misconstrued!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.
