There was mention somewhere I seem to recall reading yesterday that said he was returning to the vfl - he was listed as 1 week a week or so ago.

Cats have something like 3 of their last 4 at their narrow home ground, last game vs the Eagles. Not the greatest preparation for finals intensity at the MCG. I hope we get to play and thrash them twice this coming finals series.

Bugger. :-( Hope she recovers well for 2023.

In: Oliver, Petty Out: Bedford, tomlinson A couple of desperate efforts might just have seen melksham get a retention for next week; spewing no VFL this week for JVR to prosecute his case for selection. Sorry forgot Petty/Tommo - tommo acquitted himself solidly, but must give way to petty.

So pleased for Kozzy. Great game not just the goals but the work up the ground, he's given this crowd an absolute treat.

Except he doesn't ponce around with that ridiculous peroxide job and that wanky overly tight guernsey.

Pickett taking the p!$$, what a gun!

Crowd love Kozzy and I do too.

Genius Pickett!

He's getting into the Freo trade mindset and is planning which WA nightclubs to be photographed outside of completely blotto over summer.

Not sure that'd be much of an improvement re disposals

Dangerous tackle my [censored] he flopped like a sack of potatoes

Nice tackle Melksham

What a ripping finish.

Ah so the Dogs have Bruce as an in after some VFL following last year's ACL. A warm up before his obligatory bag against us next week?

Oh FFS, a bye! A few of our Casey players must be thrilled (not) to sit out a weekend rather than push their cases for selection. JVR, Laurie, Chandler, etc. Hopeless fixturing.

You're killing me MFC just announce it already!!!

Interesting ppl reading this as a "2 year extension" signal. What if he's giving the "f@$# you" version of the 2 finger salute?

We will win every game from here on. Can't see Port or Dogs putting a win together against us. Freo will be the biggest test, but it'll be on our turf and beyond any loading phases if last year is any guide. We'll get a long overdue win against the Pies. Lions will [censored] the bed in the last round as our fitness and pressure gears up to September levels.

Wouldn't mind seeing the suns make the 8. Mainly because it'd likely be at the expense of a Tigers or Dogs or similar

What a finish Noah Anderson!

There were several instances where JVR did clever little "football-smarts" things that I really liked the look of. Things that reflect a genuine competitive instinct. E.g. leading for a mark near the boundary around 50, being closely followed by a defender, he jumped into the air to secure a chest mark rather than attempt a spoilable arms-out mark with the wet ball. He certainly doesn't look skinny or under-developed physically - I'd love to see him get a gig in the ones. If he fills that TMac-esque re up fwd it could go a long way towards fixing our woes in that dept.

Seeing a lot more from JVR than either MBrown or Weid. He just has a presence about him. Get him into the seniors!
