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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
