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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
