I see what you did there.

Advocating for Weid to be tried in the backline.

Swap J.Smith and Weids at Casey level.

Joel is working well as a back, time to give him some development up the field.

Weids is playing when away from the goals,. His problems seem to be getting the ball in the attacking 50. Can get his hands to the ball, but not clunk them when in the contest. Perfect for a key position backman, if he can punch it. He is also a reasonable field kick.

Need to make something of his skill. Could be the best thing for him and us.

We have many back up tall forwards if injuries hit, including, M.Brown and Majak. Less in the backline, and I wonder if J.Smith is more of a forward or tall winger, we should find out.

Took 7 marks and kicked 3 goals today.

 

Weid could be very handy if Tmac BB or LJ miss games.

How much more development does Joel Smith need?

If he’s in our side, we are done. Not really because of Joel himself, but he has multiple players in front of him in every role his fanboys think he could play

So he's fourth in line for the throne then.

Not sure if Joel will be on our list next year. Could be saved for depth. Probably the same with Baker but he could possibly go in search of game time at another club.

Mitch Brown... I don't really know if he'll go around again.

Weideman didn't do enough today to worry the selectors.

Not many VFL games left for a number to stake their claims.

Develop him as a forward,  in Casey, so he becomes a very flexible backup. 

Can see him as our super med sub.

How many in the forward 50?

I thought most were in the central area.

I want him in the MFC team, just he is at the back end of the forward pecking order now.

At this point in time, the situation can change quickly, take Harrison Petty for example just takes a bit of bad luck for Tomlinson and he stepped up and keeps on improving.

I hope the boys are calling him Princess Charlotte at training.

But he dropped 5 or 6 easy marks in the forward line. All you have to do is play him close in the forward line and he will drop the mark. And remember he is playing against VFL level defenders. They are much better in the seniors.

It's been his weakness all along

Gets hands to many but sticks only a few

That's just simply not true.

Unfortunately I don't have those stats at the moment, but 2 of his goals were from set shots (from memory) so obviously took a few inside 50, and given he also played in the ruck and higher up the ground (had 18 disposals) it's a pretty fair return.

I don't think he's coming in the team soon (barring injury) because it seems clear now his best role is a bit of a mix of what TMac and Jackson currently do and neither of them are coming out.

Was playing footy today so didn't see any VFL.action.

How'd Weid go?

18 disposals, 7 marks, 3 tackles, 3 clearances, 4 hitouts, 3 goals straight.

He's playing well, just unfortunately it's in a role where he likely won't get a shot in the seniors at the moment.


Went to Werribee, Weid was ok, only dropped 1 mark in the first qtr that was a easy mark.  His timing was off seemed to either jump to early or late.  Also a number of times he tried to body a defender rather than jump at the ball.

Wasn't a dominant game but did ok

I’d love to try him down back, something might click about the way defenders play him or read the play from some time down back. They could’ve swapped him with Bradtke after half time today.

But I still the reality is his best position is forward/ruck where he gets some easy touches.

His linking handball play is exceptional. 

I also think he tires at AFL level. Maybe he plays 3 weeks and takes the 4th off if he gets back in the side? Clubs are so wedded to traditional ways of managing players and I think some guys might just be different.

Played well.

Got 3 goals, with one being a Joe the goose.

Gave off a couple of goals.

Competed well in the air

I quite like him in the ruck.

Worked hard.

Good, positive attitude all game.

Starting to wonder whether a trip to Specsavers might be in Weid's best interest. It's not just pack marks he's spilling. It's like the ball suddenly gets big on him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
