Then we will struggle in big finals games!

 

Weideman to half time v pies. 2 handballs. 3 fumbles. Zero scores. Zero tackles.
Weid is getting the nod, and got the coach and us supporters backing. But I’m starting to lose hope and the Weid has to step up. 
Brown might get the call up after the bye.

MIGHT ?? Must play for the rest of the year, no ifs or buts!


Weirderman’s last game until round 17, at least, thanks. BBB can’t possibly be worse than this.

Weid is not the answer going forward got Ben brown for a reason just play him 

Yep. I agree. Lucky for us we have had this season to weed out the 3rd best forward. Weideman isn’t up to it. 

I am a huge Weideman fan, but enough is enough. After the bye, Ben Brown plays for the remainder of the year.

 

Weideman has absolutely no presence as a forward target.

Needs to be dropped. Give Brown the rest of the year to see what he can do.


It’s been a great year so far but I’m getting pretty sick of not turning up against garbage sides.

A clear pattern of behaviour has been established in the last 7 weeks, starting with the first 3 qtrs of the Hawks games in round 5.

Honestly it seems like Weid is invisible out there...

Does he have the worst leading patterns in the league? Almost always out of position

Almost always seems to have no separation from his man

Yes to BBB for mine. Let's give him a shot

This part. If Ben Brown plays, defenders swarm because he’s such a threat. 

If Weed survives this then he definitely has something on Goodwin.

There is no hiding now Contract or no Contract. 

I think it is overwhelming now, time for a spell Weed.

B Brown may not have set the world on fire in his three games but if he got dropped after the form he showed, Weideman must be dropped now too.

0 marks, 0 kicks, 1 tackle.

The lack of goals is bad enough but it's the lack of contest. Brought the ball to ground once I think, and only because he was so far behind he had to spoil rather than try to mark. Outworked in the air, non-existent on the ground.

It's time for us to make the switch and plan for and play with a TMac/B Brown forward line from here on.

Both have had a block of games now and both have been mediocre. But I think on form and maturity I would want Brown in there after the bye to see if things click. I think Browns big body will be invaluable in finals. Weideman is not attacking enough for me at the moment.

Brown has way more of a presence and attracts several defenders. Weid is lost at sea.

Easy swap for mine. We have Jacko as a tall who can also provide ground ball pressure.

Same. can't defend him any longer. zero impact.

Today simply answered part of the main query for the team all season - who is the 3rd forward (even T mac was in doubt at the start of the year).

Today we learnt finally Weid isn't it. So now its over to either of the Browns to take theuir chance.

Ben Brown holds marks and makes the opposition nervous. 

Weiderman does not. 

Tmac also plays better with B.Brown then he does Weiderman

At least Bbb can hold a mark. Does weid use to much hand sanitizer before the game?

Cant take a trick marking.

Bbb should not have been dropped.

At least we know where we stand with SW now.

All the best for him. I wish it were different but its not sadly.

 

Edited by leave it to deever

 

I remember when Weid was tearing up the VFL, and it was mentioned that due to Majak’s form, we might want to play him before Weid.

Rightly, Weid would be infuriated if that happened.

Right now, BBB would have the right to be annoyed if he doesn’t get another crack. If you have two steady efforts and a mare (even in that Carlton game, there were two occasions he got his lead cut off by a teammate) while working in a new system vs. Weeds four to five consecutive shockers, then a meritocracy should give you another chance.

And if BBB doesn’t fire, give Mitch Brown a run. We are six years in and the bloke is still playing like a skittish pony. I expect it in year one, but he’s still playing like a first or second year player.

Strange though that he can do so well in the twos.

But yep he looked lost today.

I dont know if hes lost speed or times his leap poorly but he just cant hold on to the ball.

Talk about butter fingers.

Hes played over fifty games now and is not giving a good return so I really think his future at the club may be in jeopardy.

  • 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.

    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.
