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.

    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!

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
