I think it's telling that Frost's now been slotted back into defence, where he should be.

Justin Plapp at breakfast this morning made mention that he hasn't seen a player (Weideman) come in and do what he's done in his first year of footy in his time in the game. Pretty big wrap! Also

The Weed is 2nd leading goalkicker in the VFL, amazing start from the kid   http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info.cgi?c=1-118-0-392693-0&pool=1&round=0&a=STATS

A suggestion to the webmaster when next considering an upgrade

is there any way that we could get the thread title IN BIG BOLD PRINT at the top of the box in which we type replies?

This thread is headed  Sam Weideman and Liam Hulett  but we have seen much of the last page discussing just about anything but.

For what it's worth I heard a rumour that the club went to Sam a few weeks ago to ask if he felt he was ready for an AFL game, it seems they were looking to bring him in. He told them that he didn't feel ready and wanted to continue his development in the VFL.  

If true, says a lot about his honesty, you could imagine many players saying they were ready just to get a game.

i like bold print.

I think I may need glasses soon.

However Monocc,

Some people may think of this as modern yelling.

Those storms in Sydney were something else.

Glad I dont live in a big house by the Sydney Harbour-what losers.

What were we on about before?

Interesting but hard to believe anyone would turn down the chance to make their debut if the coach thinks he is ready. Go for it Weeds!

Forget about the physical similarities, Weideman thinks and plays like a key forward and that's not Watts' go. 

Weideman attacks marking contests with belief and fearlessness and that has never been Watts' strong suit.

Agree. The bit i have seen of the weed he just looks like a pure full forward. Natural leading patterns  and terrific attack on the ball in the air. Not in build but he reminds me a bit of jason dunstall.

Love that he's learning his craft at Casey. Once in seniors a triangle of watts, hogan and weed (out of tge square) will be a formidable forward line, particularly with Petracca as a wild card. Cant wait.

Come on Biff.  Get it right.  Talking in CAPS is yelling.  Talking in bold is talking with a glare.  And talking in colours is just being dee-luded.

And Mono, nice point.  FWIW, Weed and Huey are not yet ready yet.

The Weed won't play this season, they're doing what they did with Hogan as 17 year old and giving him a season in the VFL to develop his game and get his body right which is great. This would explain the reason they traded there 2016 first round pick to get a player ready for the 2017 season which is when we will be makeing the move into the top 8.

Good way to look at the traded pick, give up a first rounder for the opportunity to develop a first rounder for 12 months. Stll would like to see him get a taste late in the year, but I guess we will see.

I guess it depends on we're we are at by the end of the season. If we are in the race for the 8th spot he won't play, if we slide he will play.

Oscar was given the final two games last year and his Brother a few years earlier under a different regime.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's given a taste at season's end to whet his appetite over summer.

Without meaning to sound too negative... I would be completely astounded if we are in that race come the last 4/5 weeks if we a still "mathematically" there then great but i think Adelaide is going to put a 2-4 game gap on the 9th-11th teams over the next month and a half. I hope to finish 9th, will be a fantastic result for the club but we would have to improve alot on the first half of the year and adelaide would have to fall on their own sword just to give us a slim finals chance.

I am just interested in why he hasn't been named for Casey this week? Surely to see him kick a bag against Collingwood would be better for his development than 'resting' him the following week!

Weiderman reminds me so much of Tom Lynch from the Suns in how he attacks the ball, i really think he, Hogan, Watts, Petracca, Garlett and co will become a nightmare for opposition teams

I'm picturing these fantastic forward options as Col streams out from the backline with his customary dash and pinpoint accuracy.

And didn't they have a bye one one or two weeks ago?

We play Adelaide at the G in a couple of weeks. If we beat the maggots, lose to Sydney, then beat Adelaide, we remain in the hunt.

Totally agree with this. They most likely will bring him in to play in the last couple of games when finals hopes are completely in doubt.

I would hope he comes in and helps in our quest for finals.

I have no faith in the incumbent.

Weed and Hulett highly unlikely to play senior footy this year.Reminds me of Harmes and Hunt in that they have taken time to develop. No purpose playing Weed in swamp like conditions v Collingwood reserves 11/6/2016 match.

Hip flexor injury CBD. Will be back after the bye. I'm assuming they meant the first one so that would mean the Rnd 13 Richmind game or at worst the Rnd 15 match against Bulldogs

How many byes do they have in the VFL? Time to just have a proper reserves comp it stifles development and team selection. 

I'd be happy enough to keep a relationship with scorps but just for development league level. Really need a proper in-house Magoos

100% agree Gonz, too many byes in the VFL. We have 2 more byes in the next 4 weeks after having one 2 weeks ago, The VFL draw is a disgrace

    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.
