The move to FB was his 'Jump the Shark' moment i feel

It's great to know Kevin Nash is with us here on Demonland. Love it. 

Amazing the way he manages to clean lose one on ones from a strong position.

Cox and the other Freo talls are handy but they aren’t that good.

If he gets consistently beat he can’t hold his spot in the side. 
 

It’s a shame because he started well getting some touches up the ground but he just can’t do the main job of a key forward. Just isn’t a competitor 

Pump and dump, if he can put some decent games together trade him to Collingwood.

Just doesn't have enough presence. His pairing with Brown has been a big fail, only looked decent replacing brown or jackson

Sam Weideman has been given many chances and at best he is a fringe AFL player. Ben Brown has been in poor form recently as well. I think it's time we bring in Jacob van Rooyen. Give the young fella a go.

Careful.  I said this before the match and got shot down lol

Why would you get rid of him if he put some decent games together?  Surely that would indicate that he has turned the corner and has a future with Melbourne.

The other thing I don't understand is why people automatically think that Collingwood would be interested.

I'm doubling down on the idea that Van Rooyen should be given an opportunity ahead of Weideman in future. McDonald comes straight in next week for Weideman providing he isn't still injured but if he is, it doesn't make sense to persist with Weideman over Van Rooyen considering only one of those two players has a chance to forge a successful career in Melbourne colours. One has been given ample opportunity at the top level and has repeatedly failed to capitalise and the other has been knocking the door down in the VFL regardless of his inexperience.

Because he is always up and down, sell high

Disappointing that Jacob Van Rooyen isn't playing for Casey tomorrow..

Maybe @Grapevineyblew his quads out walking across a wrestling ring as well? 😄

Wouldn't every other club be aware of this inconsistency?  If he's no good, no club will trade for him.

Why on earth did we offer him a 2 year deal when no one wanted him last year?

JVR has played one great game against the North witches hats and otherwise been a steady role player at Casey finding his feet.

He needs to put a month of solid form together before even being considered. 
 

Mitch Brown, a smaller forward line and some left field options are better than Weid. But they’re all better options than going with a kid at this crucial stage of finding his confidence in the VFL.

Yep 1 year would’ve been plenty, but we seem very keen to keep the same battlers on the list year after year rather than take chances with delisted or mature age guys.

And when we do pick up delisted guys it’s the most one dimensional options available with absolutely no scope for improvement to become regulars. Great. 

I am pretty sure I told y'all this a while back.

Depth because of Covid and Tom can't carry injuries.

Mitch Brown has never put a foot wrong as far as I recall and never gets in the way.

Having 3 tall forwards all who "could " be the main man and Fritta doing whatever it is he does is clumsy. 

Mitch would be a much better fit

As much as I don't like writing him of, I think this is a true indication of where he might be at!

I would definitely play M Brown. Always looks like a natural key forward to me but does suffer at times from poor accuracy. But he is tall, gets to contests at least to bring the ball to ground. Not our long term future but we should be concentrating on what we need right now, whatever it will take to get the final prize again this season. 

Weed played a better game then Brown,

.

 

 

I remember when people compared him to Pavlich 

 

Right now I would take a Jack Watts at FF any day of the week over Weiderman

Brown at least competes in the air though and gets the ball to ground level. Weed loses contests that are counteractive to his use as a forward. He only started playing better when he moved up the ground, but then he's kicking it to contests with Spargo as the tall lol
