    Tyson couldn't have been that wasteful because the commentators were calling him our best kick with a 'dynamite' left. Obviously that's not normally the case but...

    Still gets caught way too much but his disposal was on today.

    A few odd ones against us but especially in the first half we were one the right side of the umps.

    Petracca underdone??  He missed 1 game!

    Every time Weid clunks a mark, or jags a goal, his confidence lifts a little.  He is holding his own during his small stints in the ruck, and he took his chances today when they were presented to him.

    Of course we would like him to do more, but right now he is playing his role nicely within the side.  There is no reason to drop him at this point as he's working really well in tandem with both Hogan and T Mac.

    Nice job on the 3 word analysis as well, joeboy.

    Lazy re-hashed assessment of Tyson. "Wasteful" is the last word I would associate with his game today.

    Other than that, pretty accurate.

    I tend to agree. There is a player there, and as much as I like Pedo, I think we should persevere with Weid. At least for another month anyway.

    Agree with comments on both the weed and on joeboy.

     

    Re the Weed, i watched his positioning today and it was clear he was no. 3. He was very rarely the target, typically ran the decoys or dragged defenders away from the pack.  The ball mostly went towards TMac or Gawn.

     

    I think this will change as he clunks more and becomes trusted.  But he is playing his role well and the forward line is clicking so i wouldn't change anything.

    I feel like I'm always the one being critical of him, but he had a chance early in the game to impose himself when Hannan skied the ball. He needed to launch at it and mark it in his hands. He tried to mark it on his chest and this allowed Webster to run back and spoil without giving away a free kick for not looking at the ball. Great spoil but an easy free kick to draw for a marking player.

    Tom McDonal burnt him in the first quarter on another opportunity where he had a nice run at it with an open 50, unfortunately the kick wasn't high enough and was intercepted.

    He needs to give us more in the first half of games if he is going to remain in the team.

    Great post Joeboy.

    But who's underrating Oscar McDonald?

     We now have a 10 year Full back. His first pack mark in the first minute against 3 saints was sensational.

    I think one of the best things about Oscar is that he is an example of what happens when you have a decent development program in place.

    Oscar came in with no real expectations and was allowed to develop at his own pace. Latitude was given for mistakes that were made and now we have a solid fullback.

    If he can put on a bit more condition without losing any speed, then we'll be set.

    • 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?

    • 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.
