Weeds role is simple: get exposure, learn and get better at the top level. His leash seems pretty long.

He isn't best 22, but Pedo's card is marked so they need to figure out if Weeds can cut it as the ruck forward guy heading into next season. If not we draft or trade for a player who can fill that need.

If we keep winning, he will keep playing.

 

Pedo isn't marked yet for 2018.

 

I think we need him in 2019, as insurance against injuries, or loss of form, or other ?

The way I see it is that he is that his role is highly structural. We want to play a territory game and he creates a contest every time the ball comes near him. If he doesn't take a mark he is quick a

Weideman has now played 3 games and will be starting to feel more comfortable at the level. As Steve said, he's invaluable for Gawn and means McDonald doesn't have to ruck much. Oscar McDona

Not sure how it works but I would like to see Pedersen rookied in 2019... ie he is there to be activated in the case of long term injuries.

If Weid fails at AFL level this season it will be a small such as Bugg or Kennedy who takes his place I think not Pedersen. If team balance allows I wouldn't mind using him as a work horse in the Darwin game simply to avoid draining the likes of Gawn or Hogan.

Also IF Gawn goes down next year,  as we hopefully prepare for finals, we need a hardened body for ruck duties.

Pedo deserves another year, because of his leave it all on the field attitude, which he's developed with us.

I think Lew and Vince will be at the end.

 

I think all these players are on the shortlist. >

Pedo's marked if he couldn't get a game after kicking 5 goals he will never get a game.

T.Smith could possibly be kept on the list for the purpose you mentioned.

Weid's role is key forward and second ruck, pretty simple really.

Lewis is contracted for 2019

No person in their right mind is going to forego a year’s pay

I think he'll play it at Casey, as a playing assistant coach.

Lewis will play until someone permanently forces him out of the team.

No one at VFL level is near that point at present. Maybe by year's end we might be having the debate (hopefully) but not now.

In 2019 he will hopefully be available as great depth because that will mean that someone has taken the spot.

Pedo won't be first ruck. Weid will be first ruck if Gawn goes down.

rubbish he kicked them against a good VFL team in Richmond a team we lost against. Should an injury occur you watch I bet you T.Smith will be in front of him.

REALIABLE? Another rubbish statement if he was reliable he would still be in the team. He isn't so that would make him unreliable. He is finished at the end of the year no doubt about it. He won't play another game this year.

Weid’s roll is a sausage.

He did it last year in the VFL with four goals in the first quarter against Box Hill on the way to six for the game after he was double and triple teamed. Ground conditions at Casey are not as good as they are in the AFL and I have no doubt that the Weid will have a break out goal kicking day some day soon.

Honestly I do think it has been marked. We hasn't been too bad at Casey and could have played ahead of weed based on his Casey performances. Given this isn't the case I think the club has decided he won't be around next season.

Lets see, in the 2nd half of the season...If Pedo gets his go.

 

Last year Goody played the kids early part of the season,,,,,,,,,, before settling into more senior players.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
