No he was playing forward in a couple of the clips.

Bradtke was playing too. Surely Weid would have played some time up forward?

Jackson playing too (at least a tiny bit), so yeah not sure now!

Didn't notice Weid forward a lot, he did have that nice hitout to Bennell for his 2nd though I tihnk.

    I saw Jackson warming up as an emergency.  I highly doubt he played.

    Was probably playing in the ruck given Brown was forward and Jackson was a designated emergency.

     

    Jackson was playing in the scratch match, not sure of his minutes though.

    Yeah added another comment after that one after I noticed him. Looked like maybe he only played the first quarter potentially?

    i'm not sure what you can take out of that game. I think it was only 14 a side and there didn't look to be too much pressure about and plenty of open space instead. Bennell looks a class above most our players as a finisher around goals though.

    Sounds exactly like the seniors, so can probably judge both games the same...

    I think you're right there. 

    Weid did have a good tap down to Bennell for a goal, but I want to see him clunking them, not rucking.

    Same mate, but hard to judge that without seeing the actual game and what his role was.

    Re Brown how can he be worse than the lot running around in the seniors the last two games?
    simple fact he kicked three goals and in a team that cannot score that says he should be in the seniors.

    watch round 1 for your answer

    In Weid's defense, he could have been clunking them all day long but that won't make the goals only highlights reel.

    Hopefully a detailed write-up will be posted soon.

    So he is the only one not allowed to have a bad game? If we recruited him knowing he was that bad why did we bother. Says lots about the FD.

    Don't hold your breath. One of the serious problems for the league is how do the players not selected in the seniors get form when they are playing in Mickey mouse games of 14 players. Another month goes by and teams get a few injuries what happens then? 12 or 10 a side?

    Strange times...

    does anyone know if the Swans "reserves" play GWS each week or do they fly around as well?

    So that's it then? Has 1 poor game (in a game where very few players weren't poor) and we write him off for selection in perpetuity despite any other available form since? Fess up, you're on the selection committee aren't you?

    Sadly nothing from Weidemann

    He hasn't really featured in anything much this "season" . He's a bit of a mystery man.

    However, if Brown or Jackson get selected as an extra tall before him this week, his future at Melbourne is looking grim

    Love it LN. So much I put it in twice. IT is painfully obvious we have no forward coach how else can you explain the selections. I think they are picking them with a pin.

    And what does that say about the MFC FD we extend his contract last year?

    I admit it. ha

    I'm biased, I just don't rate him. At least others have some credits in the bank based on previous good performances

    strange recruit for sure. Bombers are crying out for a tall fwd and they cut him

    I would play Jackson ahead of him.  then he can give Max a hand in the ruck too

    I was talkin Brown.  I still have hope that Weed can become a decent player. he has talent but maybe its the mental side of the game

    Unless Weideman's training and scratch match performances make him impossible to overlook, I'd prefer to play Jackson, too, but just as a tall forward. I thought Tomlinson was more than handy in the Gawn support role.  And if Weideman plays, I would also leave him in the forward line all game.

    I don't either mate, but I'm just super keen for us to pick on more than reputation and favouritism.

    Oh Bennell was dropped because he could only play half a game in the seniors well I think it is obvious his half a game is better than a number who played a full game. He kicks one goal we win. 

    Wasn't having a go at Brown OD, just saying that if all he did all day was kick 2 goals and nothing else well then it's not much to get excited about. Thanks also for filling me in about Bennell, I hadn't seen the numerous threads or news conferences in which this was discussed.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
