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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
