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.

    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.

    Thanks for clarifying that; was going to go get my eyesight checked.

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
