Not being privy to his performances, i see he kicked 2 goals on the weekend and had 15 disposals.

Is the lad up to it? I hope if picked, he rises to the occasion???

    Plenty of duds in that draft.

    I said at the time we should of taken Curnow & so far I have no reason to change my mind.

    Sometimes I reckon the AFL listen and lean, on these things.

    I'd expect they will pick him above Peds for the last 2 games and finals if we make it (ggaaahhh I hope we do). Get some more games into him, high stakes games. He has shown a little bit for mine, but he really needs to start coming on if given the chance now and coming into next season.

    Peds has shown he just doesn't cut it at senior level, Weids its time to shine sailor.

    I mentioned in another thread that my information is that, at this stage, he will be seeking a trade at end of year. He is not happy with the limited opportunities he has had, citing that he gets the chop very easily whilst others seem to get different treatment. I suppose 15 games in 3 years would tend to back that up. At this stage, I really do not know what to make of him as he has not had a decent stint in the ones to settle in to a role. But I would suggest that if he is not selected this week, he is gone.

    I'm not really sure what he'd mean by different treatment. Pedo usually gets the bullet almost as soon as he comes in and Tim Smith has played the same amount of games as Weed.

    Hmmm that’s interesting. His dad swims laps at the pool I coach at, so will ask him when I see him next.

    Bit rich considering he has also spent a bit of time on the injury list, and was about 12kgs wet when he got to Melbourne.

    Having said that, it is his time now to show us that he is worth the early pick we invested in him. Needs to stand up and deliver, and they should play him from now until the season ends, whenever that may be. Regardless of how he performs. Nothing to lose, as literally we are cooked.

    IF that is the case, I doubt we’d let him go unless the trade offer was significant.  His stocks are as low now as they could ever be and he’s coming to an age and size that he can start to make an impact.  We’ve already invested a lot of time in him and out no 1 forward has just gone down with what is a potentially very serious injury.  Contracted to the end of 2019, so I’d hope we keep him.

    Trade now while there is still some value

    That’s the gamble.

    Id say he has very little value at the moment so would rather keep him and look to build upon his potential.  

    It comes down to whether you think he has what it takes at senior level.  I think he has the makings of a decent player and could surprise a few in the next year or two.  With that said, I completely understand  people who aren’t convinced as he hasn’t had a great showing at senior level as yet.

    I doubt anyone would offer better than a third round pick.

    It's Weed time.

    Form in the 2's.

    Taylor made form to step in and grab his chance.

    He has a strong tackle and is a good grab.

    If he nails his set shots and does the defensive work he could be the tonic for a rejuvenated side coming into finals.

    Sink or Swim.

    You are correct. I just see nothing that suggests he is an AFL level talent.

    I just think we are better playing him out this season at Casey then see what he can do senior level in 2019 after another pre season.

    Interesting point and I probably agree. Out of interest what do you think Moore and McCartin would command on the trade market. Not much more than the Weid perhaps a second round.

    For mine, he looks quite elegant.

    The time is now.

    After nearly three years on the list, it's time for Weed to show something. I don't expect 7 goals, 10 marks and 25 possessions. A couple of goals, the ability to bring the ball to the ground and some relief for Maxy in the ruck will be enough for mine. Basically what Pedo did last year before Father Time caught up with him.

    I think this game will say a lot. Weed for mine has looked as though he feels he doesn't belong at the top level. His gait, facial expressions and when he goes to mark screams reticence. His tackling is the exception to this. He now needs to transfer that confidence to the rest of his game.

  • Quote

    If Pedo can do a better job trying to get us into the finals than Weid then Pedo stays.

    Can't afford to have someone on his L plates in MFC's two most important weeks in years.

    Having said that Pedo has been atrocious this year in the seniors. A real step back from a good 2017.

    I would have thought McCartin would be a round 2-3.  Talent probably places him in the 2nd, concussions and health/injury issues push him to third...

    For the life of me I simply do not understand the hype around Darcy Moore and would be flabbergasted if a club surrendered a first round pick for him.

    Appears injury prone as well TPF39

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
