i think we should manage Jackson the same way Gold Coast and the Saints have done with the King twins.

Give him a year or two inย the Magoos and solid gym work before playing him again.

what? Ben King at Gold Coast played 14 game last year in his first season and Max had a knee injury keeping him out for the season.

Yeah Ben King looked fantastic last year in his first season and has looked even better early this season.

Makes a mockery of the 'big men take longer'ย  theory and makes Weid look even worse.

Yep, I got it wrong.

TMac to me looks like the type of player that takes a while to get to form after an injury setback. We have seen it before. Iโ€™ll be patient with him.ย

All year there is no replacement available.

And right there is the disappointing truth.

I started this thread with asking how long do we wait, obviously Essendon may well have put a crimp in that timeline. From the footage they released on the website from the intraclub match it appeared that Tom was playing a higher CHF role almost borderline wing. Which is fine as it gets him into the game. I just really want to see him clunk some marks, I still have faith the ability to be a good forward is in him, I think he's just down on confidence so he doesn't seem to attack the aerial contests with as much force as he did in 2018.ย

Iโ€™m convinced that Tom is carrying an injury that has slowed him down and hampered his agility. Check out these highlights from just two years ago and, whilst youโ€™d never call him cat-like, he moves a significantlyย better than what we see today.ย 
Hopefully there is a fix as he looks friggin sensational here

Yep, he was a million dollar player in 2018. Postseason surgery and many injuries later, and he's a shadow. I have no time for those who rubbish him these days. He is a very good player, struck down by ailments not of his making. I wish him all the best, I hope he can regain some confidence and rhythm. If he doesn't, it won't be for the lack of commitment and dedication.ย 

Foot injury ruined him. Be interesting to see if we trade him to Essendon for Saadย as touted in media recently.

Tom would look 5hit in an Essendon jumperย but then I think everyone looks 5hit in oneย 

I wonder what level of interest Essendon would have in keeping the McDonald brothers together?

If Daninher goes, they are just about empty of genuine tall forwards, whole Hooker and Hurley are both 30+ and a bit banged up.

I'm not talking about some bumper trade value, nor am I writing off the value of either McDonald.

Just looking for a respectful player movement to where they'll get more opportunities.

Interesting bump of my old thread, I really wanted to be wrong and have one of those โ€œeat humble pieโ€ moments but itโ€™s sad to see he is now at stage where heโ€™s behind Jackson and Brown as a picked tall forward.ย 

I wasnโ€™t keen on a switch happening earlier this year because heโ€™s been training g with the forwards, but if heโ€™s still with us next year I think a switch back to defence might be the best option for him.ย 

My concern is Weiderman hasย been goallessย ย for 3 weeks plus taking hardly any marks... ย Tom ย should play in the last game & get as many one on ones for him.. ย if we happen to make finals we need a marking forward who can create a contest plus his kicking is accurateย

Wow... I had legitimately forgotten just how good he looked marking it overhead with confidence - monstered some of those opponents.ย  Good jump, step and could actually sprint to contests and for those marks...ย  Watching that it's hard to believe it could be anything but an injury (long or short term) that has derailed him.

Clearly not as agile as 2018. Heโ€™s slower and turns like the titanic. ย Marking not quite one grab. ย He might have a big preseason but we need to consider other options for 2021 and beyond.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
