Great little passage of play. Max King pushed off an opponent and took nice overhead mark on the wing. Turned quickly and saw Weed leading to the wing/ flank hotly pursued by his opponent. King delivered a 25-30m low dart pass that Weed took down low at his shins by getting both forearms under it and taking a diving chest mark. Great pass but even getter collect. Weeds showing his skills down low as well as overhead today. Unfortunately the next pass from Weed was a turnover, but after great teamwork from King and Weed.

I watched the last quarter of the pies vfl game and after a nice mark by the weed said to the fella next to me that he'll be pretty special once he bulks up. The fella said he could borrow some of his

It was a  hard game to watch and times as the game lacked any kind of flow, repeat stoppages with little breaks were the theme of the day.  Both teams pushed the half forwards up the ground trying to

Spencer on the siren.....kicks a...goal! 19.11.125 to 2.6.18.  and for you Weiderman fans out there (like myself). It is Weiderman 4.0.24 to the Northern Blues 2.6.18.

One of Frosty's 'up' moves- great collect down low, short and accurate pass over the top of defenders to Casey player's advantage who ran in for a goal.

Is it greedy for us to be hoping that Weideman could really be as good as he is looking like he might be?

 

Greedy? The kid was in the top 10 of the country. I'd be dissapointed if he didn't kick on

Newton shines again!  Collect off a scrambled ball, had a good look for forwards, nice pass to Weed who was contested and the ball went past both untouched and rolled through for a goal. 

Newton is creating a few Laws of his own today.

Newton running, bouncing goal. 11 goals up. 11.6.72 to 0.6.6. 

Weiderman having a blinder in conditions that aren't good for talls.

Fantastic

29 minutes into the third and Dylan Buckley manufactures a goal for the Blues (not sure who kicked it off the ground). We've got in back in our 50 now to try and get that one back.

Not sure what to make of these beltings. Is the competition that lopsided? I can never help but wonder how this affects the development of our seconds players when they play against witches hats.

Doesn't hurt to play in winning sides and get some confidence.

You can only play against the opposition you are drawn against? Dons are 4th. Williamstown are 1st (we lost to them though), Collingwood are 9th, and Frankston are no longer the cellar dwellers that we beat. We are not doing too badly and it's not like we are against bad opposition. Cannot wait until we play some of the bottom teams.

If we beat Sandy easily next week, we have arrived and a serious chance for the flag.

It's a fair point but:

a) low pressure situations allow you to execute game plans exactly as planned,  with success (as long as the coaches enforce their strict adherence and the players aren't allowed to get sloppy); and

b) winning builds comraderie amongst the playing group and winning expectations as well. 

 

These things mean that when a player does play well and eventually goes up he a) knows exactly what to do and exactly how to play the role and b) he expects to keep winning.  He will need to adjust to the pace and pressure,  but that is easier when you are brimming with confidence.

They will get plenty of that as well.

I just love the way we seem to be developing our players now.

Our list is getting so much better each year, with good players not guaranteed a game.

I guess that is what others said of us over recent years.

You can only beat those who come out to play against you.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
