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 ?

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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 :cool:

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
