Maybe.

But i reckon given he represents such a tricky match up up forward (they have to play a tall on him) and his leap means he can take centre bounces without getting buffeted too much that they will want to play him round one. particularly if Weed can give Maxy a chop out occasionally (and Tomlinson around the ground).

I reckon Jackson to play 3 or so games, in packets.  They will try to fast track him, but gently gently.  You could see his body isn't ready yet.

His head is more advanced than body, imo.

    Weid really enjoyed it, I asked,  19 touches and all over the ground, could be the making of him

     

    I had a few drinks (was very excited) but from what I could tell he's ruck work was sub par, in fact horrible. 

    Did I have to much to drink or is that a fair assessment? 

    To me Weird is a lead up full forward exactly like Tom Hawkins or nothing. Harsh?

    Friday afternoon off locked in. Going as much out of nostalgia as Arden St was one of my favourite away grounds back in the day.

    What are the chances of there being a sausage sizzle, canteen and/or canned drinks being sold? Can anyone remember from the Pies game last year?

    Did you manage to find out the answer?

    At the Pies game you could only get food etc inside the Holden centre and the queues were so long I gave up . Nothing available around the ground, but likely a sales strategy by Eddie. North may be more working class and actually look after the fans??

    Someone coincidentally asked the same thing on the North board over at BigFooty. Nobody knows for sure but it sounds more unlikely than likely that there'll be food and drink.

    The Kangaroos match will be live streamed. 

     

    Ecstatic that this game is filmed. I will be at work (doh) and am wondering if you happen to know if the live stream will be saved on the website, and able to accessed after the game? If not, if anyone reads this that plans to be saving the stream on their computer please let us know. Many thanks.

    If the Collingwood Scratch Match that was streamed live last year is any indication then it will be available to watch later but it hasn't been officially confirmed.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
