From what is known Moore was ready to walk at the end of last year with blessings, and this could still happen . The pies have realised the fragility of their backline with the misfortune to Dunne. This could quickly transfer into a forward line which could end up as a key position player at Six foot two there. Cox will be required there in the middle, just as Preuss is required here They are riding high at the moment but things could change fast when people apply physical pressure in the middle and everywhere else.

    Tom Boyd didn't even have that and he got a million a year.

    Don't think we have lost anyone we wanted to keep in the last few years.

    Well if you think a forward line with Tom Mc and no other key forward is ok then we don’t. 

    Just btw Tom has been terrible so far and hopefully turns it around from tonight.

    I wouldn't sign if I were him.  Why play at a club where the ball is constantly kicked on your head and supporters blame you for it?

    Needs another season at Casey

    Until he dominates at that level no point playing him in the AFL

    Goody shouldn't have listened to the media hype about Weid after the first 2 finals - he's no where near Hogan. Should have risked not trading Hogan and hoped he would have changed his mind and not lose him as a FA.

    bit late for that.Perhaps the"he is already better than Hogan"  fraternity have had a reality check.Mays performance tonight amplifies why it was such a pathetic trade .

    You think Hogan wanted to wait around for effective ball use inside our 50? This club has been bombing the ball inside forward 50 since Jamar/Moloney, and nothing appears to be changing in a hurry. I'd have Jones no where near the ball drop, Brayshaw and Oliver are not much better (unless they were to handball to a receiver).. There isn't a real effective plan out of the middle. It would be a long term option, but something I would consider exploring would be to have Salem rotating with Fritsch in the midfield, and have them play as a link man - on the receiving end of a handball from Oliver or Brayshaw. The aim of the game is to kick goals, the best way to do that is to move the ball out of the middle and cleanly into our forward line - giving our forwards the best opportunity to kick goals. Our club has the greatest capacity to do this. But instead we play a sloppy country football reserves style of play - with absolutely no organisation.

    Weid is a nice boy.  Desperation NIL.  Heart of a mouse.  

    Where is his desire.  Poor tonight.  Shocking actually

    Nothing new there he’s no Wayne Carey or Dermott Brereton that’s for sure 

    He has a very very long way to go Personally I don’t feel like he has the mongrel to get there

    Jesse Hogan doesn't have mongrel but he will be a bloody good forward for many years to come.

    I genuinely believe Weideman has the potential to emulate the same way Josh Kennedy career has. I love the way Kennedy goes about his business. He's not the mongrel forward like a Carey or Brereton, but it doesn't stop him crashing into packs and using his solid frame to his advantage. Something Weideman will start to realise once he fills out.

    The old “he has a neat haircut so he mustn’t be tough enough” argument. 

    I wonder if anyone under the age of 40 still thinks “mongrel” is a key ingredient for a football player.

    Actually not commenting on his haircut more an observation about the level of intent and desire that permeates the entire football club including I suspect #26

    There appear to be a lot of cruisers at the MFC who seem to get very comfortable with their position and output very quickly and don’t seem ever capable of consistent performances 

    After a long off season where everyone including the players , coaches , media , supporters talk them up it’s not surprising that people now once again question the mental strength of this group - they are the only one ms to bring this doubt on and the only ones that can remove it - lets see if they respond next week - I doubt it

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
