na he played relief ruck a bit at times last year. i thought Schache was the preferred back up ruck based on pre season reports but his physicality is suspect, at least JVR can give and take a hit.

Jefferson another well judged mark on 50. Just misses left.
He doesn’t look as slight as I expected he would. Has great hands and looks a very sound technical kick.

You’d have to think that’s what they are planning. If they were going to bring Schache in for Gawn he should’ve been doing the majority of the relief rucking today, not JVR.
Footscray’s Jordan Sweet is a good test against AFL level physicality too.
Thinking the same, great hands and looks comfortable from outside 50.

Jordon kicks an easy goal receiving a handball running into the goal square.

Kye Turner has a nice vertical leap on him.

Jefferson kicked his fourth behind after cleverly getting ball to foot out of a pack.

Pretty solid win with lots of promising signs from the Melbourne listed players.

Adams was the only listed player who looked a little out of his depth. That’s his first game so definitely can cut him a bit of slack.
You’d think JVR will come in for Gawn given he must’ve rucked about 25% of this game.
Hibberd (back), Laurie (HF), Jordan (Mid) and Dunstan (Mid) would be the other obvious possibles depending on how much Melbourne want to swing the changes.

yeah the boys looked good. they might not be as bad as i thought this year with a couple of the first gamers actually doing pretty well at times.

It’s a very, very tall team at VFL level if everyone is available.
The Casey listed ruck Bell has improved significantly too and I imagine is a better VFL ruck today than Verrall and Farris-White.
I wonder how they are going to develop all of these talls effectively as they are mostly rucks and forwards.

Yep get Hibberd in for McVee.
JVR surely debuts next week replacing Gawn.
Positive signs about Sestan and Jefferson first up. Schache had a chance to get a spot but doesn't sound like he got it done.

Pretty sure I asked last year but how's JVR when the balls on the deck? Not big enough to be an aerial only player. Not saying he has to be Jeremy Cameron but gonna go a long way to playing if he can be effective in more than one area
Apparently one of his strengths is his aggression and pressure when the ball is on the deck.

JVR is pretty decent at ground level, I’d say above average for a forward of his size. Not that it’s a high bar, but he’s much more agile and clean than Brown or McDonald.
His forward game is still based around being a leading marking player who needs to be targetted to be in the game. It’s not like he sets up to rove the ball. When he gets it at ground level as a forward it will be after he hasn’t marked one that he tried to mark.
The games where he racks up quite a bit of the ball, like this weekend, are because he has spent a reasonable chunk of time in the ruck. He’s undersized as a ruck and I think he will get slaughtered in ruck contests at AFL level. But he does pretty well post hit out on the ground and also getting involved around the ground.

Yeah and that's my worry, no point playing him when everyone's fit because our diabolical ball movement will make him look stupid.

Great effort by Sestan first up kicking 3 goals. I'd love to see JVR debut this week. Good to see Hibberd dominate too.

Remember the banter years when we used to have a guard of honour, trumpeter and unfurl the flag before Hawthorn would belt us by 100 points or some shit?
Just imagine 23,000 people (mainly Sydney supporters) watching the pre match pegging of the Sextent before we get beaten by 80 next week?
