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. 

    I don't

    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.

    Yoko has runs on the board in this department...

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
