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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
