Joeboy, I enjoy your reports BUT this bias against Tyson is becoming very, very tiring. He could kick ten goals but would be roasted for missing one. Please Joeboy just leave Dom off your list. It is so repetitive. We know what you will say weeks ahead.

Joeboy tells it like he sees it. Dom T is a turnover merchant. MFC pays him a fortune to kick the ball to the opposition.

Weed's game may have appeared irrelevant to you, but I think it's a journey we may all enjoy in a year or two.....be patient grasshopper

I made sure I watched Tyson today.

Don't see how Tyson can be called a momentum killer or turnover merchant.

From what I noticed he only once had a clanger and held up the momentum, respectively. By half time he had the highest disposal efficiency (just above 90% by memory).

On the contrary there was Harmes, who if it were Tyson you'd be saying "prolific but wasteful" as he got a lot but many of the possessions had little impact and/or missed targets.

I'll watch the replay tomorrow. I like Tyson, but he breaks my heart to often...

If he continues with 6 possessions he won't be on the list In two years time. 


Tyson had a poor game. Got caught 3-4 times and had two bad turnovers. He gets the footy but his disposal takes a split second too long. He can improve and knows it. He could be of a few players that I’d think they can be the difference for us being medium 9-11 place team and a very very good 1-5 places team.

need to see some quarter by quarter stats but IIRC his stats to half time were minimal. Could be wrong.

Wonderful to see his final results.

Love your work Joeboy by the way.

Weidemann - further steady progress

Clarry is just a freak.  He had a couple of moments today that left me utterly dumbstruck.  On in particular where there was a bouncing ball in the midst of three opponents.  I was sure he was going to be nailed, but he summed up the situation and just accelerated through the pack, took the ball at a sprint and broke clear before they could get a grip on him.  It's a small thing but the speed of thought and making the right decision, not to mention the burst of speed, were really eye-catching. 


Tyson was ok in the first half. But gees he does some dumb [censored] that kills us. 

Trac is struggling. Reckon he is not back to fitness yet. Barely played outside the 50 today.

Agree. He is already close to the best MFC player i have seen. in addition to his hands i love how he can suddenly stop and then get going again. Like a bespoke side step that gives him time and space.

Trac - nowhere near himself

He is either injured or out of form. He needs to turn it on against the Blues. 

Very tough on Weeds.

It's becoming a standard game from him though. Time we acknowledged that as a fan base. Still walk up 22 but he's not anywhere near his best.

He's still maturing as a player and, most notably, as an adult. He still seems like a teenager to me. Love him though.


Don’t think Weideman should be judged on his stats alone. While I agree he needs to get more of it, his importance to the structure, making contests, giving max a spell etc all justify his position in the side IMO. Pedo could play the same role more effectively at the moment, but for now it looks like Goodwin and co have decided that is how they want to structure up, and Weid is the man. I think he’s shown enough to stay and develop until he starts costing us games.

Not everyone can take 10 marks and kick 5 every week, but if weed is playing his role which in turn releases T Mac or Hoges to do their damage, then he stays in.

 

Apart from that, nice work as always.

I swear I only read this thread each week to see what’s written about Tyson.

Question: How do you think Jones felt beating 4-5 players and then delivering the ball perfectly to Tyson on hbf, who was on his own and dropped the mark, then picked the ball up from where he dropped it, then kicked it straight to a Sun's player who went towards goal, where Tyson again got involved, fumbling the ball and leading to a Suns' goal?

Answer:

I like him, he’s good size and hard enough at it , can kick a goal ,but he just seems to lose concentration at times.

Cannot fault this analysis - very accurate and indicative of what could be done for Viney's return. We need to annihilate Carlscum by the same amount of goals as we did with Gold Coast. With some of their key players possibly missing, perhaps this can take place. We need a win for 4 points; we need a massive victory for added percentage to shake up the top 4 on the ladder. We need it now. 

I never reply to these 3 word posts... but this one is the most positive. I am a Tyson fan but agree that he had a poor game and if Viney comes through today, is the most logical choice to make way. My only gripe about these summaries is Weid... I've liked everything about him this time 'round... and I am witnessing his coming of age in the big league (I am also a Pederson fan!)

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
