That free against deep forward was rubbish - clearly HTH and no high tackle 

Did they call that a high tackle?  I was wondering why it was given.  Possibly that idiotic clause they added where if a players head hits the ground it's considered high? It looked like a clear HTB to me.  He was tackled around the waist and spun more than 360 without even trying to offload the ball.

Weideman needs to spend the next 10 weeks at Casey and develop his craft there.

If we are fair dinkum about playing finals then Pedersen is a better option. Cannot continue to throw the kid to the wolves and expect to make an impact.

In front, but not a lot of joy in this. Sloppy.

Hard to know what's going on/wrong with Weideman, ball's been down there enough, 2 handballs? I'm all for development, but difficult to see what he's actually getting out of this or how it's helping him.

OK, if he's got a corky ... perhaps more understandable.

Just dont get all the Tyson critics.

Maybe it's all the turnovers. Last week 15 possies at 40% that is 6 effective possies. 

Doing it again today. In the warmup he missed from 20 out straight in front. Says it all.

Started to clean things up a bit at the end of the 2nd quarter. Need to keep our heads and not replace them with turnips. If that happens, we win.

Watching from the couch. Dad chose a most inopportune time to have a few dizzy spells this morning and Home Doctor chose  a very inopportune time to call ie during the second quarter. Still all seems well.

First quarter was ordinary. Not a fan of set shots from outside 50 unless its a player with a high percentage of set shots nailed from that distance.

Must have improved in second quarter until Kent decided to square the ball from the forward flank and turned it over.

Agree.  Weid is still very young. Even at Casey he's not been a standout player yet.  Just a very good young and developing prospect.

I'd like to see him build his game, his fitness and his body at Casey for an extended period.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
