Brown would probably have to kick 5-6 goals at least to get the recall. He was brought in to provide the finish to our midfield dominance. Thought Weid was really disappointing and didn’t show enough to warrant another game unfortunately and has been given ample chances again.

    Weid was terrible two weeks in a row at AFL level.  All BBB has to do is show up today and kick 3 or 4 and he is in against the Dogs.

    Big game today with senior spots up for grabs and for Casey to go 5-0.

    None of our forwards were able to capitalise on our 'midfield dominance' yesterday. Hardly think singling out Weid is fair. Go back and look at the disgraceful delivery forward.

    Fair call Nev and agree the delivery needs improvement but you cannot always expect silver service. Competitive marking is required on occasion.

    Would not be surprised if BB doesn’t play today. Keep him fresh for next week now that Weideman has had two poor games. 
    I would be shocked and frankly very annoyed if he doesn’t play against the Dogs. He is a weapon at Marvel.

    Weid took the same amount of marks as TMac and more than Fritsch. It's not about 'silver service' it's about not just bombing it blindly. it hurt all of our marking forwards.

    For some reason Weid has become the new whipping boy it seems.

    Well said LN, the kid has played two games so far this year, maybe he just needs some time?

    I think people are disappointed with his inconsistent kicking for goals when he should kick them. Thus, they compare his output to BBB who tends to be a more reliable goal kicker.

    Maybe. They don't have a massively different accuracy % over their careers though. 63.5% for Weid, 67.4 for Brown.

    Whipping boy because of too many underwhelming performances.

    292 Goals vs 46 - I know who I’d prefer?

    T.Mac and Fritsch have form Weid doesn't.

    I’d take Weid over Fritsch on current form

    How was that vitriol or offensive?

    It wasn’t - actually quite factual.

    Yeah look it was my only opinion. But no way did I get personal. Amazed people get hiss over the smallest things.

    All we are doing is bringing in more Oskar Bakers, Ben Newton's etc by wanting to chase these kind of players.

    If you want to look at players that can come in straight away and make a genuine impact, then the likes of Ed Richards from the doggies would be an ideal target.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
