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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
