After his start to this year, no way.

He will be playing Saturday night, unless a mystery injury, but then he wouldn't be playing for Casey either.

I think he was referring to Tom Sparrow

    Hearing Weid not in.

    If fit, surely May Fritsch and Weideman.

    Cannot go into Sat nights game with same forward line as last week.

    We'd be mauled.

    If Weids or TMac  is a bust replace him with BBrown in R7 ..Melb have options.

    Really hope Weideman plays to be honest. He’s the future up forward for us along with Jacko

    That would be amazing after 7 goals for Casey and M. Brown not training and injured.

    Think you are wrong.

    Red, he wasn’t at the Captain’s Run, and my understanding is that he’ll be playing at the Punt Road end of Yarra Park tomorrow.

    Perhaps, but maybe he was with the group today as backup for Fritsch, and Fritsch has come through today’s run?

    Think there's a few wires getting crossed. I believe people are talking about Tom Sparrow.

    There's photos of TMac and Lever with their kids at training today, looks like TMac trained.

    I’m going BBB over Weideman at this stage.

    I do see room for them both at some stage.

    Brown is a  proven gun forward. Weid is a kid with potential who time to shine has arrived. Only one of them has a question mark over them. BBB gets the nod for me.

    Is there any info from training? There does not seem to have been any training threads for weeks.

    Its hard to know which are training days now that the season has started.

     

    Anyone know when/where training/captain's run are?

    It's such a nice change for the Dees to be playing for the "now" and not the future.

    I am guessing Weideman would have been in if Fritsch didn't come up. 

    Going for the team that have got us to 5-0. Fair enough too.

    We are very settled. The Dogs are 5-0 and they made 6 changes

    You seem pretty sure of yourself. Will keep this in mind when the teams are announced. My opinion is the weed will play and Fritsch won't.

    Coaches have long memories.

    The last time North won anything that saw them on the front page it was probably their Rnd 11, 2019 sterling win by 6 goals against the 'about to be dual premiers', the Tiges.

    BB kicked 5 big ones.

    Incredible, and most changes are omissions

    Would have been interesting hearing the chat between coaches and Weid.

    I reckon they would have been telling him since day one, we need you to dominate a game in the VFL.

    He finally does it and gets told it's not enough right now.

    I would say that melksham and jones know they are under the pump to play well. 
    T Mac is in the same boat. 
    LJ less so as he plays ruck and I do it think the club wants weed or brown in the ruck. although weed could possibly play LJs role, just not with as much athleticism 

    LJ is starting to hold his own in the ruck, even winning a few contests now.  Is also very handy at ground level competing well.

    I could be wrong (a regular thing!) but i can't see how he would be anywhere near the 'Ins / Outs' radar or discussion at this stage.

    Totally agree and I love what LJ is doing. I am not advocating he be dropped at all, I was more looking at how we would get weed and brown in the side, and I was saying if LJ was injured, that weed could play his role.

    Very much off topic but North are in WA which may very well be in lockdown shortly.

    Guess who plays North next week?

    Sounds like it will be a 3 day lockdown. I suggest North will travel straight down to Tassie from WA and our game should go ahead as scheduled. 

    Also [censored] Covid and the endless [censored] coming out of these returned travellers and these quarantine hotels. 18 months later and we still can't get it right.

    I suspect not.

    He's played 7 quarters of competitive football coming back from a significant layoff.  

    Their conversations would have been about managing him, getting his body right and getting him back out there with a few games under his belt.

    Do they have direct flights? I always thought they had to fly back to Melbs then to Tassie.

     

    Also I know i say it every week but this is ridiculous to wait for the teams to come out, Friday and Sat should be released on Thursday at a min and Sunday games on a Friday.

    Would suggest it's more about if the Freo Roos game even goes ahead and how that then impacts the next round of games.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
