Wow Weidermans becoming a real pillar down at Casey. Pedo is doing a good job in the seniors and also provides a second ruck option but I love the Weids himself has said that he's not in a hurry. 

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 heft. It turned out to be his dad. Nice fella.

I asked if he thought Weed jnr would get a game before the end of the year and he said perhaps one near the end just to give him the experience. 

The weed snr said he and his son were wrapt at how he was being developed and the club in general. Very positive.He also said Trac will be something out of the box.

38 disposals and 2 goals for Newton is impressive.

Alex Neal Bullen with another 30 disposals. 

Amazing depth..

James Harmes and Benny Kennedy are keeping those two guys out.

No doubt both deserve a gig, but just no spots at the moment!

The Dees Development team also won by heaps. 64 million dollar question is why from time to time 3 teams end up with a bye, can't 2 teams play each other. in the WAFL teams play each other 3 times in a season.

This may be your most coherent post yet! And i agree totally. Until they set up an AFL reserves comp the VFL does need to be run to service the AFL.

Nice interview with Trenners and Jimmy Munro on the Scorps website. Seems the association between the clubs is really harmonious and the various coaches are on the same page - must be great for our development of the younger players and the remediation of those on the outer.

It would be interesting to know how the son of Bomber's legend Paul Van Der Haar is travelling in the Development team .

How on earth did they beat the pies yesterday?

Didn't need too much depth obviously ;)

Things have improved some then.

Ben Newton is an interesting player. He has played some solid footy for us at AFL level, the query on him being that he needed to find the footy more, perhaps work on his tank.  He has shown a knack for kicking goals.

Great to see him rack up almost 40 possies today.

Newton is a nice addition to those guys. He has been working his way back into game time and form over last 3 weeks. Reckon his numbers will jump soon.

As early as today even? ?

Thanks GD. Modesty prevented me but now that you've said it - hell yeah.:cool:

Wish I knew how to pick the tattslotto numbers.

Frost is a defender. May even be IN this week and replace Michie.

Needed to man up on Campbell/Roughhead as resting forwards.

And backup if Stringer beats Mcdonald... given Lynch would have kicked 10 if the Suns had a midfield.

(Assume Mcdonald gets Stringer and Garland gets Redpath).

Briggs kicks his 4th. He is loving life at Casey. Might need Angry at Casey to find out more about him. 19 year old - did a Google search and couldn't find anything. 105 - 18. 

Will have to do some investigating. Believe he's out of Queensland but not 100% sure.

Thought he was actually more of a rebounding defender, but he may have other strings to his bow?

Others have said it before, but Weideman training with Hogan everyday can only help his development

I also think that a successful Casey is important for Weideman's development as well. It wouldn't be much fun playing down at Casey on a cold wintery day, and being starved of opportunities as a key forward.

As for Newton, I was a bit of a rap for him last year. Endurance seemed to be his biggest knock, but his kicking skills are amongst the best at the club. I think he's got more strings to his bow than Michie, and better disposal than ANB. If Kent's inconsistent form continues, he could get a gig as a half forward.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
