Okay. No more to debate.

The situation is diabolical.

Who are we going after?

 

Don't agree...

I think we stick with Weid, was ok considering the quality of ball coming forward and lack of assistance with Petracca being the only other forward who looked like they could play.

...but please drop Tommy back to Casey. He's giving us nothing.

Pruess can take his place.

 

Second half. 4.10 to 9 straight.

And why? Because we don't have the forward craft to execute a full press and then score, whilr Collingwood bust us open for sitters.

I'm not amazed anymore.

Some supporters will just continue on singing at the bar while the Titanic sinks.

All AFL coaches understand, particularly those not in rebuild mode, that the W column determines job security. Has always been that way and always will be.

 

He will be there until at least his last year of contract, that's it end of story.

You can call it what you like, but I, like the club will not panic when things go pear shaped, that is for the weak kneed to do.

I am also certain they will look at every option to improve the the forward line and the entry into it by the midfield.

How about Preuss?

Hasn't the tank yet. A few posted in the Casey thread thay he looked spent during the 3rd quarter. This seems to happen every game he plays. Remember he's only 23 and played no Aussie rules until he was 17, so he's still learning.

However, Tmac looks so out of form that Preuss to 3/4 time is certainly looking like an attractive option. 

You have my vote Stormy

By the way, as the Titanic was sinking there probably wouldn't have been a much better place than singing at the bar and having last drinks.

I think we need to set Weid up as our key and use Pruess to crash and bash with Tommy heading back to Casey.

We're top heavy with the 3 and Tommy's form doesn't warrant a game.

If we get Weid one on one and put the ball to advantage then he is going to get his fair share.

 

We should take best available in the draft. If that's a midfielder, great. 

Improve the system and as Collingwood have shown, ordinary players can become role players and wins eventually come.

We'll also have a softer draw next year. If we get a new system working, we could jump straight back up.

Gary Pert being interviewed on SEN crunch time  right now. Was asked my Kane Cornes about list issues and problem areas at Melbourne. Pert immediately said the obvious one and the area of greatest priority is the forward line and our inability to hit the scoreboard. 

Make no mistake - we will be head hunting a key forward this October if we haven’t already tapped someone up.

Hope you are correct MB as the current batch are ordinary and will not get us into a GF any time soon.

I liked what he had to say OD. He’s going to hold people to account for their performance from top to bottom. He’s fully aware of the problems.

not sure where a ready made forward that’s gettable will come from.. not many about atm. and where would that leave t-mac & weid? still rather a skilful top tier mid.

Yeah, Hogan with a dodgey foot.

Or Patton with 3 knee recos.

Who are we going to get?

Let's keep this discussion going.

We don't have a choice from where I sit. 

All options, trades and picks on the table. Cheque book out $$$. 

Cannot go into 2020 with the current forward set up.

Must not. 

ba84f026a14d4d9bc20e3c96599a26ab.jpg

I think that we should keep Weideman. Try May forward. At least he has the big ego of a power forward. We need Weid and one other big target to have a West Coast style forward line.

May could be the next Mitch Clark, without the depression and injuries.


Key forwards, our entire forward line needs addressing.  Our small/medium size forwards offer nothing no defensive pressure limited skills.  I would hate to be a key forward in our team, we bomb to the same spot and three of your team mates compete for the same make with no crumbing forwards at your feat.  Then when you offer a good lead the incoming kick misses you.

We must look to trade Weideman.

Literally re-signed him a few weeks ago. 0 chance.

 
Just now, Clint Bizkit said:

Do you understand how contracts in the AFL work?

Yes. Do you understand what the chances are of trading someone you re-sign in that same season?

 

Tom MacDonald is a neocon who goes to Jordan Peterson conferences and does podcasts with the Institute Of Public Affairs. This is something I was willing to overlook when he was a half-decent footy player, but I can’t actually stand looking at the guy now that he sucks harder than a flagship-model Hoover.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
