Kozzie has the X factor that makes you go wow & most of the X factor players are indigenous.  How lucky are we with Kozzie & Bennell in the one side to provide that !!!

    Absolutely @rjay!

    There will be games where he'll be rested, but for me he just needs to play as much games as possible.

    Him and Jacko gaining more experience so early can only be good for their development. 

    It's exciting to watch 'dazzle'.

    They had some nice cameos today but with more game time they are going to be a real handful.

    Weightman. Game 2. Ineffective. 4 possessions. Didn’t even know he was playing. 72 minutes.  For a small player in wet conditions, he was completely unsighted

    Both players will be good in their own way. I dont understand why threads like these need to be brought up every single game just to prove a point. 

    I liked Weightman in his draft year and he has all the tools to be a good small forward of the competition in years to come. Same as Koz.

    Right now both Koz and Weightman are just young kids finding their way through their AFL journeys. 

    I'll continue to enjoy watching both talents for what they are.

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

    2 games for 2 goals vs 5 games for 4 goals?

    Pretty foolish to judge 19 year old kids so early. Too much water to pass under the bridge. Both might not make it, or have 12-year careers.

    Comparisons can be odious!

    Give me Kossie anyday. His defensive efforts are way above Weightman although Weightman is a better mark.

    Pickett has far better defensive pressure. He is running blokes down out of sight, creating opportunities for us - his presence alone creates fear in backman, and can result in turnovers due to anxiety (that isn't a stat). We definitely chose the right bloke. Pickett is already a jet, and already makes our side better. Weightman is going to take time. Looks like a good pick considering where he was taken. Could be a player for the bullies. Doubt he will have a better career than Pickett though.

    Not sure if this is a media trolling of the highest order, or Weightman is in play:

    Picket + Weightman would be a lethal combination, although the high pick cost would not be worth it. Tomlinson + 2nd rounder please!

    Reckon he may be simply donating some of his old gear

    He's an hour late. They close at 5pm. Should've ducked in earlier.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
