I just look at what Max King did yesterday in a final and only his 2nd season and think why can't Weiderman be like that?

Because he isn't as tall and because he doesn't have the help:  Our ruckman rests in defence.  And we don't have another effective tall fwd.

Also the bulldogs defence was very poor yesterday.  Steven May took King to the cleaners so it shows what a decent defender can do. 

Max will be a champion.  Sam perhaps not but he will still be a very good player if developed properly.

    Not so sure about "very" LH

    Speaking of St Kilda, who has the better list? Melbourne or St Kilda?

    Melbourne has the better list.

    St Kilda has the better coach - which makes all the difference.

    I don’t know about better list as such. I think our top four to six players are better than theirs but their bottom six to eight are better and contribute more than ours. Overall I’d suggest their list is more balanced. Agree with the coach comment.

    Ben Long has been offered a week’s suspension for that high bump on Jack Macrae. Good to see the MRP taking these head high bumps seriously.

    Disappointing as this is to a small Club not a big Club a double standard really.

    Macrae was not off the ground permanently so really impact not great.

    Plenty of similar incidents overlooked as not enough impact. 

    IMO Saints  have No real chance of testing Tigers without Long Ryder and Carlisle.

    Appeal Saints Even though it's not a great chance of changing going on past cases.

    Forgotten the two finals Weideman played in 2018?

    Interesting watching the replay it looks like a guy instinctively turning sideways for the impact as most people would to an oncoming player. You are expected not to bump but tackle but in that situation you can open yourself up for a shirtfront. We are talking about nanosecond decisions as to how you will take the collision. Perhaps I need to review the incident again from various angles but I think the decision is harsh. It reminds me a bit of the Viney Lynch collision a few years ago. In the end Viney got off because all he did was brace for the inevitable collision.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
