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 ?

    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. >

    JayKennedy-Harris

    Bernie Vince

    Jordan Lewis

    Dean Kent

    Patrick McKenna

    Dion Johnstone

    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.

     

    DELISTINGS

    KENNEDY HARRIS, JOHNSTONE, BUGG, MCKENNA (RE-ROOKIED), PEDERSEN, VINCE (RETIRE AFTER WINNING THE PREMIERSHIP) KEILTY (ROOKIE)

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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.
