    Tall with all the attributes starts to come good. How unusual.

    So many impatient people.

    How good was he today.,..  wowee oh oh boy!   The stats look good but what about the attack on the ball , urgency and aerial work and most surprisingly, the athleticism.

    If we trade this kid to the Pies for that spud Darcy Moore as was rumoured a month ago, I will spew.

    He’s connected to Collingwood by lineage. Having them make rumours up about him is just part of the territory. I’d be amazed if there was any truth to that at all.

    Super. It's one thing to say he's offering a target inside fifty... another altogether to say he's giving Gawn a chop out, who ALSO can go forward now.

    His leap and timing for overhead marks is so pure. It's textbook perfect! Great to see him start sticking them now. Like I said earlier in this thread, he's got all the tools to be a good key forward, just needs to get fitter so he can stay involved for four quarters. Today he took another step towards that. 

    Looking very promising and definitely worthy of a place in our best 22 for finals!

    Thought he did well today.  Not only the clunked marks, but the contests, tackles and efforts.

    This was the best I've seen of the Weid.

    He looked confident. It was as if he finally felt comfortable in the big time. 

    The club has developed him well and he is coming good at just the right time.

    Yeah Uncle and did he remind me of a young Neeeeta today!??

    He attacks the ball with intent and tackles ferociously. He just needs to take his marks. He is going to be a really good player. Just needed time, he got that. He will still need more time, but should have a really good 2019.

    I just love Weed.  So much so that Bob Marley had a t-shirt with my face on it.

    Bob had probably just had a reefer in celebration!?

    Liked his game. My mate thought he was quiet but I thought he really worked his tail off and gave us a target.

    His ability to pick it up off the deck and handball accurately on either side might be his best skill. It's top draw. Combined with a nice leap it's made him an effective ruck option. Playing him in the ruck at Casey has really improved him. I can really see him being used in the ruck a lot next year with Max playing forward.

    Leap for the ball is good and can clunk them, should only get better there. Goal kicking looked good at Casey, bad at AFL level, so that means confidence. Technique is solid.

    Watching the post game interview his arms look well defined but you can see there's really not all that much of them and he doesn't really fill out the jumper. Got to get him training with Tommy Mc over preseason because if he had Tom's strength and anything like his endurance he'd be a force!

    He's holding his marks now but what impressed me most was that goal he kicked.

    I think he miskicked that from the TV. Looked like one of those ones that curved late due to a miskick, could be wrong though

    I think that's just his style, a lot of his VFL goals look similar to that one.

    I'm just about ready to concede that I may have got this one wrong. I rate Phil Davis really highly and he easily held his own in that matchup.

    And lets remember, he has been messed up during past preseasons with ankle injuries...  so hasn't really had big preseasons, for fitness.

     

    Again, last preseason (2018), was a shortened preseason for him, Re surgery,   and so he had a delayed start to this season.

    Another pre season should see him go strength to strength. He’s moving well and his hands are on point now, only way up.

    He hasn't found his fluency in his kicking just yet, at AFL level...  but today was better than last week.

    For him, Its just a mater of feeling more comfortable out there. I'm sure.

    Good contribution knuckle dragger. The ball definitely swings strongly and looks like he miskicked it. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t aiming at goals, but he definitely didn’t kick it sweetly

    It looked better on TV than it did from behind the goals. Bit of a floater that seemed to dip at the goal at the last second. Great result for him though. He'll be ramming them through from 50 on a regular basis next year

    May well have played his breakout game today. Is building really nicely. Was always in front, brought the ball to the ground when he needed to and took some nice marks. Well done, Sammy.

    i love his athleticism. just needs to get his kicking more consistent but his form is another reason that i wanted hogan out of the team. i want hungry, desperate players and thelast 2 weeks shows the culture of all 22 applying defensive pressure.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
