No. Confirmation bias. You're taking examples that illustrate your point, while ignoring ones that contradict it.

Watch the whole game, and assess it in its globality. He had double the number of 1%ers as anyone else, and was in the top half dozen for marks, 3rd for rebound 50's. Sure, he made a couple of mistakes and didn't dominate, but not he's Robinson Crusoe in that regard.

    Tom Boyd and the Weid..... a certain amount of disappointing symmetry

    May they run free and both kick 10

    Well preferably not both, but Weid yes.

    Exactly.  But then respect doesn’t seem to be a modern anti-social media trait.

    Weiderman best on for us. Has had a really solid game. Could have been a lot better with 2.3 but has been all around the ground, taken some good marks, hit some great kicks. If he had the 4 goals he really should have had, we would have been talking about him coming back next week. Probably another game in the 2's to build up the confidence. He really is a cut above at this level, however, he really is doing all the work himself, whereas in the AFL he relies more on people hitting him on the chest.

    Two goals, three behinds to to the Weid who has booked a ticket to the Gold Coast.

    Great to hear. A solid game against the suns might be just what he needs.

    Watch the whole game, and assess it in its globality. He had double the number of 1%ers as anyone else, and was in the top half dozen for marks, 3rd for rebound 50's. Sure, he made a couple of mistakes and didn't dominate, but not he's Robinson Crusoe in that regard.

    They are pretty selective and limited stats. He had 3 intercept possessions, the equal lowest of any of our defenders with Wagner and only 108 metres gained. So the marks and rebound 50's are mostly coming because he sets up for the short kick out or sideways kick then gets the ball from back 50. He had an exceptionally limited attacking game, which is a concern because he has the size and skills to take more intercept marks and to get involved in rebounding the ball with counter attacking play. He'll never be a defensive star so a two way game gives him the best chance of contributing each week.

    The 1%ers come from spoils and he was better yesterday at getting some decent spoils. Some of those should be marks against the likes of Mitch Lewis and Roughead - both limited key forwards - but at least he wasn't conceding marks when matched up on those guys.

    At the end of the day he's in the team ahead of Petty because he runs hard and smartly to get to the right defensive spots and on good days he can spoil the ball, plus he doesn't turn it over as he uses it safely. All the stats in combination point to the style that he plays.

    Petty reads the ball better to mark, but that means he can be caught or pushed under the ball. He has a more natural counter game by taking intercept marks and a nice penetrating short kick, plus good handball skills on both sides. But he can't string together a good month at VFL, he's far too up and down. Until he puts together a consistent run of games he's too risky to pick. He wouldn't be directly replacing Oscar anyway, he'd be put in more of an intercepting role which would mean Hore and Frost would have to be reshuffled/replaced. With Lever hopefully not too far away and Lewis in the side now the last thing we need is another intercept player who struggles to defend. Oscar is only an mediocre defender but he at least positions himself to do that defensive job.

    Suggest Fritsch could do with a week back and do a straight swap for Weids.

    Probably a result of a dysfunctional team.

    Now the side is finding some fitness, form will follow and will be better for forwards.

    I wasn't making a point. Simply saying watch the last qtr again.

    But seeing as you have raised it he was quite sound in the 3rd qtr buthe last when the game was on the line was deplorable and frankly unacceptable. When the game is up for grabs I want players who will put their body on the line and show desperation for the ball.

    Can you sau OMac did that in the last? Nup.

    Give me a player who attacks the ball with ferocity. Not the wet lettuce like OMac. He simply isn't dependable and rarely beats his man, He has no defining traits as a footballer and is slow of body and mind. 

    Other than that he is great.

    Hi KC mentioned 3 goals to Weid but I see the match report only lists 2.

    Dee-Licious posted earlier that he had 2 goals 3 behinds and was playing well.

    Looking forward to the final match report.

    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

    Well said. They do give their heart and soul for the club and dont deserve to be labeled with derogatory names. Childish.

    Sounds like it. The ‘Around the state leagues’ report on the AFL site has him with 15 possessions and being relatively quiet.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
