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

    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? ?

    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!

    It is very good to see these guys develop but it is great that backup  ruckman play to solid games and his foot seem ok.

    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.

    Anyone know Weed's contract time at the mo.....

    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 .

    If Viney is out, ANB will be in. Adams will be a big out for the doggies. Hardly have a defence now. 

    Is he out? 

    That's big news if so, what happened?

    Adams having finger surgery this week and will miss a couple of weeks, according to Bulldogs Bigfooty. Check the preview thread.

    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.

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

    Wish I knew how to pick the tattslotto numbers.

    Frosty in defence. Finally.

    I could really get used to battering sides like this.

    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?

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
