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.

    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)

    Just a little bit of fun, a word play, that's all.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
