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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
