Weed needs to impose himself this week. 

He just has to. 





 

Only if he has a continuing role at MFC or indeed with anyone else in the AFL 

 

too good for the VFL but the seniors 

not good enjoy to impose yourself or show promise only every now and then 

not when there are others

There are a lot of what if's in the draft (as always)

But Pick #9 we selected Weed

Pick #10 Carlton selected McKay

If people are looking at Melksham's stats last week they are looking in the wrong place.  10 d, 9 k and 4 m doesn't look great until they realise he played only 54% game time:  barely played 2 quarters.  I think he is carrying a foot injury perhaps connected to he one which kept him out for a while several years ago.

Last week he enabled two goals in the first quarter with pin point passes, to keep us close to Adelaide.  He barely played after the 1st quarter.   He was far from our worst vs the crows - not even in the bottom 6 given his low game time.

I'm not a Melksham but I can see that he plays a valuable role most weeks. 

He doesn't tackle Melk maybe he's been saving tackles for a big game like tommorow night.

He did have 5 score involvements against the crows in 54% gametime which is decent.

Can deliver a sumptuous ball on the chest.

Amazing how some just get a free run at it each week.....

Truly bizarre.

Big week for Weid or else he is out for Goodys Dog. 

Who or what is Goody’s Dog?

I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

If it rains and they have to keep it open, will the quick sand favor our game style over the Dogs?

Would have preferred Mitch Brown to Weid frankly

He’s very crafty Mitch 

Weid’s Last Stand, starring Charlie Sheen as Weid

Good selections, prove that last week was an off game.  Deliver the ball properly to Weidemen and well Milkshakes is probably lucky

Roof open or closed? Anyone in the know?

It'll be open and it's absolutely rubbish. Window dressing of the highest order! It's seen to be doing something. If there's covid in the stadium it's going to be there roof open or not. Hopefully it doesn't rain and ruin what is to be a good match. 


There is consistency in our selections or non selections this year. Very hard for others to get a look in. I guess a 1 point loss is close to a win, though, our system needs to be looked at, given we were nearly 3 goals up with 7 mins to go. No heads to roll!

I thought Melky did alright in the first half. If he can keep that form for 4 then he will keep his place. Must be on thin ice though.

No mention about Jetts injury. Was it a leg or ankle thing? Anyway, out and the quarter back is up. 

Hunt (who was off last week) and especially Salem are so important for our backline structure and their presence when getting repeat 50 entries and closing down corridors, as are our wings.

The pressure is on Weids. I believe he will rise for the big game.

ANB is also under the pump, but, given we need to stop some of their players, he should thrive with hard run with's and lockdowns.

Petty will have sorted a few things out by now and could be the big improver.

Fritta won't have two bad games.

Bowey the med sub. Get him used to the regime as Sparrow and Chandler need game time. Can't see us going with BBB.

Addit: no Casey game, so Sparrow to be the med sub

Lots of great match ups, of course the one they all talk about is Trac v Bont, but the match up I'm most looking forward to is Spargo v Daniels.

i wonder whether anb might take him as our fittest player - caleb daniel just runs and runs and runs

i'm also wondering whether harmes goes to liberatore and tries to stop him being so impactful winning contested ball

there's so many interesting clashes around the ground between types of players

i'm pretty excited to see how we go; it's a massive challenge for both clubs given that the are both in terrific form and playing really well, plus both have had covid distractions 

gotta curtail their fast ball movement and force them wide and long to contests

 

Surely Sparrow gets the sub. With no Casey game this week he is the most in form and could have the greatest impact if needed.

Would have loved to see Melk as sub instead urgh.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
