I think as his confidence has suffered he’s stopped ‘doing the work’ that it sounds like he was back to doing today

I still reckon our best forward structure can accommodate him, Preuss and T Mac all together

I think it's only 2 of them 'what'...Weid and either Tommy or Preuss.

    Tom Sparrow was good in the contest.   Let him develop some more this year in Casey but I think we have a player on our hands. Likes the contest. 

    what's his ability outside the hurly-burly like at a lower level?

    does he also show the ability to break away from the contest with pace?

    Who chooses the 'best' players for the VFL games?

    People here are saying Weid was great and will play vs Gold Coast, yet he wasnt in the listed best players.

    It was just KC who made the bold statement

    Weid was named 3rd best on the club website.

    Oscar Baker was name 2nd best , which is very encouraging.

    Bedford & Chandler - 10 touches & 4 tackles between them. I find it extraordinary that we can't find some decent crumbing forwards who can apply some defensive pressure occasionally.

    Yes, they are young and inexperienced, but that type of player is not really reliant on developing size and strength. Either they have the work rate and ability to read the play or they don't.

    Weideman played well (I thought). Presented well and besides Mitch White was our only forward option. If he had held most of his marks that he went for we would be talking about him dominating the game. Got his hands to marks many times but just couldn't quite hold them. May come back in but another solid game with Casey should really boost his confidence.  Spargo was good and was a link player with short kicks to position  but probably didn't do enough for his ability. Baker is returning to some of the good form he showed last year prior to injury. Petty continues to impress. Corey wagner busted his gut all game and continues to press for higher honours, but will probably only get selected if another midfielder is injured. Sparrow the best of our young players and Jordan looks good. Both Chandler and Bedford struggle to get into the game.

    Well done Weeds.  Took the hit and went back and worked hard.  I like the 20+ touches and 8 marks more than the goals.  showed he worked hard.  it will be interesting to see who will be up fwd out of Keilty, Preuss and Weed.  T Mac took a couple of marks in the 3rd Q thank god so he should be safe

    I think his work rate has been good at AFL level, just was dropping a few marks that he will take as he matures.  His buddy up forward is lucky he has a few credits in the bank, if McDonald was is half decent nick it would take pressure of Weiderman.  He will be good just needs to start holding his marks

    I think the club knows what we've got with Weide...

    But I sense we want to see some more of Keilty.  so I reckon Keilty stays in.

    ... and Weide I think will get another game as the number 1 forward with Casey this week.

     

    I reckon Weide will come back in fresh,  for the bigger games,  against the Eagles and Giants.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
