Weideman 1 goal in the final 4 games, a terrible effort.  Has no urgency.

T Mac is finished.

Luke Jackson may or may not be a key forward but hes still a teenager either way.

Mitch brown is the best tall forward on our list as he showed today and hes 30.

 

We need to recruit a gun KPF this trade period or 2021 will be another waste of everyones time.

That's complete rubbish.  Our 10 best players this year are all 28 years old or younger and most of them are 24yo or younger. May 28, Gawn 28, Viney 26, Salem 25, Petracca 24, Lever 24, Lang

Jackson and Petty weren't playing today, let's just see what they can do ... Weid was very strong in the contest today and has had a good year.

I've seen enough 'rebuilds' in my time to know we are long way off needing a rebuild. Our list has plenty of talent that is underperforming as a whole unit.

That was easily Brown's best game for his time with us and among his best of his career.  He has had a scattering of very good games over the years and an interest patch of great form late in 2016. The main effect I think that effort will have is to increase the chances of McDonald being traded, but by the same token, Brown isn't about to become a standing heavy forward target for us, even short term.

Preuss is a big body but doesn't seem to have the 'presence' we'd want.

The problem is clearly real, but the solution isn't obvious.  I wouldn't trust any of the potentially tradeable 'star' key forwards to fill the hardworking and strong bodied slot we need.  Not Daniher, not Cameron, not Brown.

Where are we going to get our Cameron Mooney?

Meanwhile, just for a laugh at beautiful irony, we are very much hoping that Jesse Hogan kicks a bag to put as in finals.

The Weid will be alright struggling a bit ATM but at least he is bringing it to ground. Will be better with Jackson in the side.

What are our options?

TMac comes good and we keep him

Ben Brown - good lead and overhead mark

Jesse Hogan - get him Burgess fit and back amongst his mates

Jeremy Cameron - expensive and question on value for money

Jeremy Finlayson - v similar to Weideman

Any others?

He has not had a strong year! 

Do you actually watch the games?

He is starting to look like a dud in my opinion.

No craft or footy intelligence cannot get near the ball can't lead and has a very weak body for a man of his size

I'm not sure he has the stomach for the contest

How old is Brown? 

Jezza would demand too much coin. 

Finlayson just signed a contract.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
