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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
