Will the Weid take out the title?

It was nice of him to give the other guys a 4 game head start.

    If Weid had played from round 1 like he bloody should have then he would easily be winning our goal kicking. 

    Actually don't be surprised if he does. In good form.

    I've been wondering if there's a little bit of Brayshaw of 2018 about his season. Out of the side until he genuinely earns his spot then comes in and plays his best footy

    Hes third or fourth  in the AFL in goals per game.  if he had played all season he would be up there with the Coleman leaders.  Wouldn't that be something.

    Its so awesome to see his improvement, theres nothing better than seeing a big young forward come into their own and start clunking marks and kicking goals.   He will snag 5 or 6 in a game very soon.

    One thing we haven't seen is Petty and Weideman up forward. I rate Petty's body of work as a forward last year and if its one thing he has over Weid its his one touch grab.

    Jackson, Petty, Weideman. A potential good forward line to build around.

    Like what the Weid has bought since he has come back into the side.  Plenty of aggression, attack on the footy and is starting to look dangerous.

    He's normally a very good set shot for goal which is one of his strengths, I just wish that he had nailed one of his multiple shots on goal against the Lions a few weeks back.  I think the wind down there at Carrara was a bit tricky, but if he's going to be a gun forward, kicking set shots with a bit of wind and/or under pressure needs to be bread and butter stuff.

    Look forward to see where he can get to over the course of the rest of the season with some continuity and hopefully no more major injuries.

    If he’s playing good consistent footy, the filth will have a crack when the opportunity arises.

    You can back that in.

    Every time Eddie mentions him he starts creaming over the Collingwood “heritage” !

    Not to take away from Weids recent form, I have a feeling Jackson will be a better player.

    Here is hoping these 2 can be another famous fwd combination in the years to come.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
