If he plays well, it'll be interesting to see what happens once Jackson is fit.  I don't think it's implausible that he holds Jackson out when both are available, in the same way others have held him out. 

it keeps the heat on Ben Brown and Tom McDonald as well, 1-2 bad weeks and Jackson could take their place.

    There will be times where Brown weid and tmac will share the forward line, I am really excited to see this.

    Hopefully he can kick a few and cement a spot in the team. He'll need a run of games though, at least 3 i'd say. Very difficult to hit the ground running after such a long lay off.

    Bulldogs will be nervous if Weid finds form. their backline is a big weakness imo and if we can get our midfield sorted over the next 2 weeks, which i'm conident we can, we could become an even better side

    I feel the need, the nnnneeeedd for Wwweeeiiiidddd!!!

    Glad to hear Mark Williams is high on him, hopefully Sammy has the confidence to take his shot. 
     

    Can’t wait for him to be potted if he doesn’t star, give him a few weeks people!

    Would love to see him kick 3+ 

    I'm a big fan of him and hopefully he can get a handle of the Jones or Weitering (although both a pretty solid defenders)  

    Very interested in his attack on the ball/defensive acts too

    Put the pots down Sammy and the chips or you’ll end up looking like Hutchy.

    I am a good deal older than 61, CH. Comfortable, but not numb. I play golf every day and that makes this 'senior' lithe, lively and relatively fit for age. Try it, you'll love it. Footy has its frustrations that we bear. Golf has even more frustrations that are the characteristic fun of the game.

    To your post, earlier, I almost stated: My Floyd has turned pink, and my numbness is as weak as the Waters.

    This proposed 'fit and ready' forward line that we have been planning will be frightening for any opposition. Our backline is already in their nightmare(s) and if the midfield can re-group, distemper will set in with halucinations of the Red and the Blue.

    Remember when we had Tmac firing next to Hogan , Hannan and Garlett. It seemed like a powerful combination.

    Well now we have Tmac firing....Bbb...Sw...Kozzie and Frtiitta.

    Not too shabby.

    Fans will burn the joint down if he makes a hash of it.

    2+ goals, 10-15 touches, a few free kicks and maybe a contested mark or two.  Cause thats an average game from Ben Brown based on career performances.

    Admittedly, all reports are he's taken a big leap forward this year so intriguing to see. Hope he gets a few weeks to show it.

     Jacko  will come back into the team no doubt so it is up to all players to perform to keep their spot.

    Would have thought after 5 years in the system by Weideman - all the puns would have been exhausted... 

    I suspect 'headline writers' have around 1000 options just sitting there...and just need to scroll through Demonland ?

    Yes, but if he teams well with Ben then it will be Hash Browns!

    (I will see myself out now)

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
