    How's Weideman moving for anyone who is there? very interested to hear how he goes! last year when he played against the Northern Blues VFL side he had 14 marks in the first half or something, a lot of them contested

    I'm only going by the twitter feed but he's already had 2 shots on goal but missed them both.  He has gotten both shots from marks on the lead though so that's a good sign early.

    yeah Weeds is moving well. Presenting really well & taken 2 strong marks out in front on the lead. Should have 2 on the board. Lumumba has racked em up & setting up some nice plays forward. Brayshaw in everything. Stretch & Neal bullpen playing well. O Mac has been impressive too. Will keep you guys posted at half time.

    Pre-Game Warm Up:

    Gus - No strapping on knee. Looked relaxed

    Stretch - Focussed & fit 

    ANB - Right knee strapped. Probably just the norm for bloke with those earlier knee cap issues. 

    Dunn - "is it home time yet?"

    Weid - A very deliberate & steady approach to goal. Very rhythmic & pure. Technique will hold him in good stead.

    Hulett - As we all probably know by now - Kid's & brick. Also a pretty sound & fluent technique for goal. Good penetration on the leg.

    Game time- 1stQ

    First bounce, first touch, bork & centre clearance from Gus into F50.

    First score - Stretch looking damaging heading into F50 with the delivery to the Weid. 35out, 45degree angle - Poster.

    First goal of the game - who else? Gus. Out of a stoppage from deep in our F50, gather from the tap, another Bork then a left snap thru the sticks. Off to the bench sir 

    5mins later - Gus back on.

    H with the pick up & gather from a pack just outside D50, feeds Gus with the hands who strides thru the middle. Quick long waited handball to a casey bloke who delivers chest high to the leading Weid. Great passage, great separation & lead from Weid. Know's where to run as a forward. 40m out, directly in front - Behind. Just. 

    Weid with 0.2. Looks the good tho.

    Siren sounds. That's Quarter time.

    3.3.21 - Casey
    1.0.6 - Port

    As long as he doesn't Björk as well.  We are trying to forget that culture of recent times.

    2nd Q:

    Oscar with a couple of nice early touches in defence. Then a mark in a 2v2 situation 60out from our attacking 50. Looking composed & comfortable - for now.

    H amongst it half way thru this second term. Finding himself deep & amongst packs... Handling himself OK. Tad rusty but that's a bit expected coming off those ankles. 

    Mitch White with the ball unmarked with an eternity of time & grass to pick & choose where to go next.

    .....
    .....

    Eventually to be caught holding the ball. Should never have happened. Not a good look.

    Gus again with another signature clearance just outside our attacking 50. & when I mean signature I mean this natural gather, 'Baulk' (Cheers Pineapple Dee)  & step (this time to the right) on the boot to a leaping Weideman!!! Ump reckons in the back - BS!. Great passage.

    Dunn doing his thing down back. Looks fine. Can just tell he's looking ahead to this time next week.

    Heavy gale towards Port's end has them controlling the second part of the term.

    They sneak ahead.

    Halftime 

    4.4.28 - Caesy
    5.4.34 - Port

    Phone dies.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
