Would be so MFC for Weideman to kick a bag tomorrow

No it wouldn't.

    What I didnt get was why Kent only got to play one game as opposed to 2 or 3. Aside from his form (which was at least a pass) in his one game why was he not afforded the chances that so many others have had? 

     

    He played two games. Laid one tackle both weeks.

    I just hope Weed doesn't have another shocker. Want to see him do well.

    Not looking good: "Hogan missed training on Thursday through illness and did not show up with teammates at Melbourne Airport today ahead of Saturday night's clash against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval".  (AFL website)

    My heart sank reading that.

    Grrrrrrr!  Will the NSC never leave our club!

    Need to make do with what we have.

    I think we'll be without him for a while

    On the AFL site they just suggested Weideman would a good replacement for Hogan, as they are like for like.

    Oh really!

    not yet...only refers to a time....not the event !!

    Indeed that is so bb but  I believe we still have enough time to get off said thin ice provided we get a favourable result in the next few events.

    Do you have more info?

    Not sure how to ask this delicately...is this part of the grieving process?  Understandable if it is. 

    Wish him well.

    look on the bright side.... we could all look back on this match as the Weids break out match

    it is hard to see many other positives out of the coming weekend

    Didn't Weids do that (kicked 2, was it?) in our win against Hawthorn last year? And if superstition is to play a part, let's not forget that Hogan was absent for both of our biggest wins against all odds... Geelong at Skilled and then Hawthorn at the MCG.  Could this be the trifecta?

    They're both over 190cm. Hence like for like.

    If Hogan is out then I'd prefer Petracca to play at full forward and for either Stretch or ANB to come in.

    Agree. We should play our next best player rather than like for like. Hannan may be able to play full forward or maybe OMac could be tried. I really would like to see Stretch play.

    Weideman just needs to give us an option in attack and hopefully jag a couple of goals.  Let the mosquito fleet kick the majority of the goals and put on the pressure.

    Hogan offically ruled out... Huge loss, not so confident now

  • Quote

    If Hogan is out we may as well go with Weeds. You don't draft a kid in the first round unless you rate them. He isn't kicking the door down but we need to get games into him if he is part of our future plans.

    Hogan's season mirroring ours.

    Not sure what the alternative is.

    Still think we'll get the job done.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
