It was a very nice debut. But let’s face it. It’s far easier to kick goals in the dogs forward line. From memory reports were dogs and port would have taken Kozzy if we didn’t and had him ranked over Weightman. Personally I think Kozzy has more upside with his pace and manic pressure as well as a more physical presence. may end up more a Jamie Elliot type which will be a very good pick. Fingers cross Kozzy becomes Cyril Rioli! 

Cyril v Elliot?

I know who I'd be taking.....

Actually I meant Weightman may end up more of a Jamie Elliott. Probably came across wrong in my post.

I think I made that read Kozzy might end up like Jamie Elliott. Meant Weightman. 

Didn't like the Selwood style lean-to-the-side-and-drop-his-head into op shoulder for a 'high' free.  Umpire fell for it.

Was just making sure he was fulfilling Toby McLean's Role.

Loved what Weightman did last night . . . and it shows that many posters on 'Land were spot on in November last year. Having said that, I'm convinced we got it right with our early picks in 2019 . . . although time will obviously be the better judge of that. 

Small marking forward? 0 tackles, 0 goal assists.

 

Bruce is now a comical announcer.  He's truly hopeless.  His fawning for Weightman was on full display.

It was a good debut, however, they overlooked his poor kicking - other than his great first goal.  Small forwards can vary greatly and Pickett is more the type we need.

Just on McAvaney.  Try listening to him commentate and count the number of times he asks a question after he makes a statement.  You won't believe how often it happens and nor will you be able to correctly remember the final tally.

Here's a taste of what I'm talking about:

He's truly the pits and you'll never listen to his commentary the same way again.

And he does it EVERY single game.

6 tackles and 3 score involvements vs 0 tackles and running around packs waiting for a lolly?  Kozzie>>>>weightman.  That haircut could only get a run in the Western suburbs

Someone on Demonland pointed this out a few years ago and ever since then I can't stop hearing it.

Drives me bonkers!!

As an aside, I actually don't mind BT so long as there's no "Lloooyd" playing. The pronunciation is insufferable.

Does he?

No. Because he is a completely different player to Weightman.

When I spent time with Spargo at the bushies, he played his best footballer as a midfielder. He was voted best player in the under 16s championships when he was playing as a full time mid then resting up forward.

DD what's your thoughts on Spargo playing a similar role to Caleb Daniel.

Spargo made some very good decisions with ball in hand during 2018

He should have been retired 5 years ago, He's a festering joke. No idea about the game. And we have no interest in listening to him prattle on about carp.

Well commentated Dennis, I mean WTF even is that?

Thanks Duck, Lingy. He's a fawning sychophant.

I can't stand Bruce. BT is good value, love his roaming BT segment, and even funnier that he did it at Rick Levers wedding.

With BT, only one player has a first name “Orazio Fantasia!”  Everyone else is a surname or a nickname “The Bont!”  Just call the game you bag of [censored].

“Unctuous” is a nice description of his style. Your correct, he really should have retired years ago!

But back to young Weightman:  another product of the Hailebury College football factory! They churn ‘em out down there!

Edited by Dee Dee

in fairness to bruce he's still a miles better play by play caller than bt, daaaaaaaaaarce, haaaaaaaaaaaame, or braaaaaaaayshaw

bt's ability to make every name sound like it's got about 1000 vowels in it drives me up the wall

He is great, don’t you agree?


Already kicked in one game as many goals as Pickett has for the season. I'll take the guy who kicks goals thanks.

And he hasn't got close to having the impact on a game that Pickett has in terms of his team play.

I'll take the whole package, thanks.

Weightman kicked two last night as well.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
