Where to play TMac?

Forward. If we are struggling in defence i think Petty will be the solution over frost in a few years (doesn't help now). Make our forward line as dangerous as possible.

    Forward pocket, alongside Weide.  Rotating in the ruck and tutoring Weide.

    Weide should not be left one out tall in the forward zone.  ( Hogan, TMc, Tracca, Gawn )

     

    The 3 of them can rotate the ruck, with Hogan playing high, & R/R.   But we need speed in the side to offset this setup.

    We didn’t get Lever so we could play TMac in defence. His leading, marking in front (which none of our players seem to be able to do) and kicking for goal is very good. 

    He plays forward.

    So you are going to play T Mac  at Casey DV8?

    That is the only way he will be in the same side as the Weid.

    He has done nothing yet to suggest he is anything more than an average VFL KPF.

    TMac at CHF,  when form demands Weid to FF. Hogan is proving to be a valuable loose man floating across the forward half of the ground. 

    Lever and OMac the talls in our defence. Add Max into the ruck and thats our talls covered.

    I think he should play forward until the backline turns incompetent and then, take over Fullback, Oscar to the CHB, Lever HBFlank and Hibberd in last-ditch support with the re-located Tom. Jetta could then get a run-up to do his intercept work from the HBF, as well. The Weed should stick to the point post in the fwd line, learning what he can and trying everything that is possible.

    Can't see him playing anywhere other than forward.

    Ideally a Harry Taylor like swingman.

    But I think he's more suited as a key defender than forward.

    In time I'd rather see our second tall be a targeted Tom Lynch or developed Sam Weidmen than persist with T.McDonald up forward.

    I agree with the consensus.  Play him forward.

    The idea of him with ball in hand in defence is a thing of nightmares.

    For me, it depends on Weideman’s form. If Weed is able to hold down a second key forward slot then I’d much rather have him replace Frost. But I also think that he’s playing some of his best footy up forward and we do need someone to complement Hogan. If Frost wasn’t such a liability then I’d rather play him forward.

    What I suspect will happen (probably healthily) is that he’ll play forward and Weideman will develop properly in the VFL with the occasional AFL game. But that keeps Frost in defence ....

    Although he’s actually a more competitive ruckman than Shaun Grigg.

    Tom Forward!!  He’s A great shot for goal, while not a great kick from defense. Keep Frost in defense and TMac as relief ruck.

    ...and then superseded by Frost with ball in hand.

    That is truly a thing of nightmares, close to Bugg having a set shot at goal.

    I prefer him at CHB as a leader and general with a young back six. Pedo or Weid at FF, Hogan at CHF.

    PLEASE ! Play TMAC at Full back so he can help Lever learn  how to play  the one on one on his opponent and how to break away from them. etc etc etc etc.

    Lever played alongside an All Australian key defender in Talia.  Talia is a better defender than Tom McDonald.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
