I stand corrected

Me too , Sorry Sam I really didn't think you were going to make it. How wrong was I ?  A truly brilliant game.

BUMP

Che??? Can't see why you went back so far to quote me. At the time Weid could well have been considered whipping boy. Nothing to see here


Upward trend with the Weeds - thats for sure. Last 3 games have got better and better.

Was on tonight!

Jesse will have to wins his flags with Casey. Can't fit him in the 22 now

Harsh

No doubt with Jesse not being the required target the team balance has changed and we’ve become more threatening probably because we’re less predictable.

Jesse had been going up the ground more to become a more versatile player prior to his injury and when you consider his better application to chasing and tackling this year, the signs are there that he will be a real contributor next year.

Long Live Jesse !

 

 

 

How can we honestly fit Max, Hogan, Tmac and the Weid all together

We can't it's a ridiculous structure, far to top heavy for the modern game.

Named BOG in the afl.com match review.

This is a kid  whos a key position forward, playing just his 18th AFL game and 1st final.

Wowee.

Maybe time for Hogan to go back...

A standout performance like that  in a final is worth ten home and away matches.  We could have a pretty special player on our hands here...

Going to be referred to over and over now. He's starred in a game that was ferocious, was either best on or in the bests depending on your point of view, against the best D in the game... in a final. That's it. You can't question his pedigree anymore.

Easily. Jesse would dominate as a roving third tall, his tank would allow him to run between mid and forward and create a real nightmare for opposition match-ups.

If I was his manager I wouldn't let him get stuck in the VFL for half of next year after his performances of the last three weeks.

I have been been telling youse for 2 years.... Weideman is an absolute star, his VFL games have been insane and Key Position players take a few years to develop well....He will be a key player for many years to come, im drunk as hell but what a fan[censored]tasticgame by Sammy!!!! Carn the Deees!!!!!

And Preuss!

I think Jesse goes to a wing and pushes forward at times. Same as T Mac!

Haha how far has this thread come from the start of the year me asking why I hadn’t heard much about him over pre-season! He’s definitely not the forgotten man now! What a way to have a break out game and announce yourself!

He won’t be

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

 The modern game hasn't happened yet. Who would have thought a bunch of fast 5 footers would win Richmond a Premiership, maybe 2 at the end of 2016? All of Hogan, Weideman and McDonald are very mobile. Exciting times ahead. I suspect quite a rivalry between us, Richmond,  Collingwood and GWS will develop over the next decade. Oh yes and and I was an early doubter of Weideman but boy was that first quarter fantastic

I can't believe how good Sam was. Absolutely insane. 3 goals, 24 disposals, 7 marks, 3 contested, 2 marks inside 50, 4 tackles, 2 clearances 70% disposal efficiency.

I knew he had talent, but for him to rise to the occasion in an elimination finals game, and be one of our best is so awesome for Weed's momentum and confidence going forward. So excited to see how he develops further. Not sure how we fit all of Weed + Hogan + Tmac into the side.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
