If he can't make it as a defender his time at Melbourne is done. 

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

    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.

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

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
