Goody looked unconvinced in the presser. I'd say Sam is gonna need to perform very well, very consistently to keep a spot in the team this season other than be necessity through injury...

That’s true Grr-owl, and the same principle applies to most players in our current 22.  Exactly as it should be!

You see the true character of people Mr 56 when they deal with difficult issues ( or on the golf course ) . I do play golf and still surf .

I the same weight as when I played football - 90 kg .

I’m really pleased that Weid will now get his opportunity.  Further, I would love to see us get into a match-winning position somewhere in the second half on Sunday, to afford our coaches an opportunity to try a few different approaches (experiment if you like) to see what things might look like in the longer term.  I just can’t see all of Weid, TMac, BBB and LJ in the same team, without giving up a very significant part of what has got us to 8 zip.

In career best form all 4 would get in my best 22 .

Hey... me too. But 73kg. The same weight since I was 21. This is probably my greatest achievement in life. ?
I just turned 70. My last game was 37 years ago for Murrumbeena. 

My playing weight 88kg add 30 years and kilos. Muscle is heavier than fat, take off your dog's age, voila!

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

I wonder if there's another lightning fast Pickett/Davey in the 21' draft we can trade our 22' 1st round pick for that could help negate the impact a 3 tall forward line would have on rebound out of defense through speed and pressure.

someone that also can take a high half fwd distributer role off Melksham and Jones who are nearing the end. @Sir Why You Little you are up on draft right? Or anyone else.. ?

Edit: Or another trade target

Would absolutely love for him to kick a bag, I reckon the Melbourne boys massively get around him (in the same way they’ve got around Tommy).

As for what I’m expecting of him, I want to see him clunking marks and providing strong second efforts. I’d like to see him kick a couple of snags. 

Good luck Sam!

We should recruit rioli.

He and weed would be a perfect combination 

Last year Weid was getting the best defender. This game, he could be getting the 4th or even 5th best defender.

Speaking of which, if you're an opposition coach and you're trying to decide who Melbourne's most dangerous forward is, who on earth would you pick? On form, it's McDonald. On ability, it's Brown. On danger, it's Kozzie. On marking ability, it's Fritsch. And Weid has the potential to be the best of the lot...

Hope he kicks a bag

Meanwhile Petracca strolls forward and kicks a match defining goal and the opposition coach is cursing his assistants that his useless defenders left "the most dangerous forward on the ground" loose in the forward line
