The Weid has kicked 2

That’s a positive for me

One of them was a gift from that fat explosive guy wearing number 5.

    The make shift backline being ordinary is hardly a surprise. 

    Nor is a shock that Preuss is going to take a while to build his tank.

    The bigger shame is that we’re still making system mistakes.

    - Bombing it forward under little pressure.

    - 2 defenders on to 1 opponent with no impact.

    There’s a bunch of maturing limited players who have shown no improvement as well. Oscar, Frost, ANB, Hunt all bad.

    Yeah. Was hoping to see just a few in and under type things. Tough to do in a half I guess.


    Hunt and stretch not up to it either

    Not as key cogs in a side, though.  Allow them to be role players again and they'll do their job well.

    Wouldn’t say they do their job well.

    Stretch can’t kick and Hunt is not much better


    3 goals in 4 mins

    I like Preuss as a second ruck to Gawn but  as I’ve been saying for months we need another ruck option to cover injuries.

    Keilty has been serviceable, Pedersen would be handy but we need another genuine ruck.

    One player who I reckon has sewn up a spot in Round 1, if he hadn't already, is Fritsch.  He's had a great day.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
