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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
