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

      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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
