Jacko is a midfielder first

He plays about 70% up forward and 30% chopping out in the ruck.

Right now he plays more as a tall forward who pinch hits in the rucks.

    Yeah it was a tongue in cheek comment. Just meant he has the mobility of a big bodied mid, to say we play '3 talls' probably doesn't tell the full story given his flexibility

    I love the Weid.  2018 Geelong final when he was in the open in the forward line, out the back, crowd saw it before the players did, WEEEEIIIIDD went the rumbling roar from the out of their minds faithful.  He marked, and goaled.  Rapturous!

    He has not excited me since though.  Needs to bloody well mark the contested ball better.  I cant help but think, and I don't like thinking it, i try to banish the thought, but sometimes theres a little bit of the 'Looks like tarzan...' going on for me.

    Brown will be back.    Big rugged tasmanian should get a little [censored] off with his dropping and when he gets back in be bloody keen to do some damage.  

    I want Weid, Jackson, Tmac, Brown and Big Maximillian in the same team.  Lets just go [censored] giant and dominate.  I'm no x's and o's man, so to the strategists out there is there at all a possibility that this could happen?  Is too much speed/forward 50 defensive pressure and drive given up somewhere?  Spell it out for me someone.

    Will come down to one of Weid or BB.

    Can't see both if all of Tmac, LJ & Big M are in.  We only saw them both in last week as LJ was out.

    You can't afford to have 4 talls inside 50, two of which bring very little closing speed/pressure on their opponent when we lose possession, one has almost no impact at ground level and one of them has zero impact as a relief ruck and gets easily pushed off the ball.

    Balance is critical in a good team and so far we've had it in spades.

    Stick to the winning formula i say.

    He is much better below his knees than Brown though, Brown is a liability when the ball hits the deck. His marking hasn't been great either.

    I’d suggest that incident is the prime example of why Chandler was dropped, as I’m sure the coaches would have addressed that high long balls are primarily for the big boys, with the small s to be front and centre (unless you’re behind the pack and can see who’s likely and go if possible...).
    Experience issue for Chandler, and he’ll learn.

    Yes you are right but we also have Max, TMac and Brown all jumping and spoiling

    Agree, there’s work to stop them overlapping, or better coordination between them if they do overlap. I suspect it will just take time to gell.

    Yep. Im starting to accept this. Dearly would love all to play but you are correct it just wont really work. No way Jackson can be removed so at present its bw ss or bbb to fight it out.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
