Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

I didn’t even know he was out there, this can’t be helping his confidence. 

 

Hogan is a beast 

Got howled down by the nuffies on here last week saying we should drop Weideman.  Open your eyes, he is so far from AFL level it’s laughable.

    Game is closer than the score shows thanks to their kicking. We are over possessing and too many cute kicks but moving the ball more aggressively than we have all year. Brayshaw and Tyson both been very good but both have had some clangers. Our forward smalls play too high and we aren’t capitalising at the drop of the contest in 50. Need to get a couple of early ones and put them away.

    I must be watching a diff game. Tyson has been caught twice and lucky not to be pinged for another few. Disposal has been average.

     

    Better 2nd half, but he has to get rid of ball quicker and cleaner.

    The score line definitely flatters us. We are about even. Only difference is they can’t kick.

    Yeah totally agree. We were reasonable in the first and pretty average in the second. Need to go for the first option a bit more. We also started to look a bit lost going into forward 50. Need to bring it down and get some forward pressure.

    Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

    Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

    If i can put it another way..Harmes...some good...a lil very good...rest meh... result..about even..

    Nibbler..done some good things...stuffs his finish...a few bad boo-boos. Result.... negative.

    Strap yourselves in / so begins the infamous Melb fade out followed by 12 goals by st kilda and inaction by Goodwin

    You're quickly becoming a poster not worth reading, timbo.

    We really aren't playing that well. Conceding soft goals as well. I want a ripping last quarter 

    I’m so angry with that last goal, so soft and yet I could feel it coming. 

    Jones has been great today except for the two play ons when he shouldn’t have but at least he was having a go.

    I know we need to have high expectations, but we're up by 6 goals.  Scratch that, 7.

    You guys are ridiculous sometimes.  Opposition sides WILL kick goals and WILL have some good pieces of play.  That's footy.  We've just had far more of them.

    Hard to believe some of the negativity reading through this thread you would think we are 40 points down, not 50 pts up with a quarter to go. far cry from a few years ago hey...

    Jones looks like a liability sometimes but jesus he works hard so impressive.

    should never play on he is too damn slow

     

    Weed kicks 2 and keeps his spot.

     

    Cmon sweet, sweet %

    Ten goal win is a minimum.

    Good to see Weideman take his chances.

    ANB missed a tackle earlier on a player who was already being tackled by Jones. So in effect, he missed a tackle on a player who not only wasn’t moving but couldn’t move.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
