It takes a while for the penny to drop for some of us but perhaps Goodwin was persisting with Weideman in the seniors because ultimately he was hoping that he would take the role of the second ruck/forward a la Boyd at Footscray.

Hopefully it was a good idea that is just one year early.

Great to see the Weid get some ball because at Coburg in the forward line he was just "not there."

Really liked Weid's game yesterday. He had a run of shockers but yesterday looked a very good developing footballer.

I hope he spends the rest of the year at Casey and actually dominates a game or two. He's still a skinny kid who, hopefully, we can make a 10 year player out of.

I like that he didn't things in the fourth quarter. Workrate is non negotiable. The rest can be developed.

Just finished watching the recording of this this morning.

Wagner's performance will out pressure on the bottom 4-6 to perform on Monday.

Can see what they are trying to do with Stretch's game and it is starting to work. Played more mid than wing. Was more inside then spread with his possessions and they were more aggressive in movement. Another player of quality if others dont perform.

Ben Kennedy's disposal is diaobolical. Understandable why he is not being seen at AFL level.

Kent's intent (or lack there of) is diabolical. Is very much just going through the motions (could be injury related but suspect likely more attitude).

Weideman worked into the game beautifully. Will get a lot more now out of building his form at CHF at Casey this year in prep for next year.

Maynard and Johnstone show capability to build on for the future but the rest are just playing out time and are low depth at best.

I hope we don't regret rushing Salem in for Wagner who is starting to heat up.

He had a week off due to suspension, not injury, and his pre-suspension form was unarguably best 22.

Wagner, meanwhile, was just OK at AFL level and plays the precise position Salem plays. With Melksham in better form than Wagner, I can't see the issue at all.

Great, nonetheless, to read that Wager dominated for Casey, bouncing back from the demotion immediately. Keeps the pressure on the bottom 6 tomorrow.

Also great to read that Weideman worked his way into some VFL form. Hopefully he learnt a lot in the seniors about what is required and we give him a long period at Casey to work on those things. Once we can get Hogan and Gawn/Spencer back into the side, we shouldn't need Weideman at AFL level (barring further injuries/suspensions) and we can leave him to develop.

I was there too OD but there's no need to shout " OLD " I can still hear !

You seem to have been a bit quieter of late. Are the " LIDS " still over the back fence or are you playing the % game ?

No just old and losing interest puntkick. I think the MFC half game team has finally got to me. I live for the day our team starts playing from the first bounce.

Don't get too excited Bbo he was playing against a second rate VFL side. Get excited when he plays a good agame against a decent side.

Yes, one swallow doesn't make a spring as they say OD. However, what impressed me was the fact that he bounced back from 3 or 4 absolutely shizen performances to play a very good game.

Shows a bit of character I reckon.

Could never understand that selection. Did BP move into the Pies under an assumed name?

So just a little update on Keilty, he was feeling real crook for the first half of the game against the Pies, but managed to settle it after half time, but don't worry I got into him after his poorly missed goal hahaha

Just want to remind people that he played as a key defender all of last year, and trained as a key defender during all of pre-season. So now that Melbourne want him to play in a Ruck-Forward role, it is going to take some time for him to really learn, develop and prosper in his new job. He is a late bloomer sorta player who probably won't hit his prime for another couple of years. For those calling for his delisting at the end of one season, I think is very short sighted.

I reckon ruck forward is perfect for him. Gawn will always need a chop out. Pedo will probably play that role now but as Pedo shows players who work hard and play their role get their chance. Dec can fill that spot nicely i reckon and will get his chance i the future. They won't delist him. Big guys who are mobile and can take a grab are just too valuable in today's footy where they only play one ruck. His time up back won't hurt either. Good education and gives him some flexibility, which s we have seen this year is crucial for big fellas.

as a matter of interest, how long does he have - are rookies on one or two year contracts, and after a second year then they have to be upgraded to the main list or dropped off?

it feels like mitch white has been a rookie for eons!

The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
