At the time BBB looked a fair step off the pace

My bad. Yes you are correct.

    Terrible game to watch, we lacked intensity and belief, I have nothing against the Weid but if you saw all the Pie big men they all contributed and tried their guts out. In all honesty could BBB play a worse game than the performance put in by Weid, I doubt it. We also have Mitch and Majak who would be more reliable and energetic . We now have nine weeks to sort this out.

    Come on Coaches get your thinking caps on you need to sort this well before finals.

    I don’t like to bag players but we can’t keep playing a man short.

    At this stage of the year perhaps we should try B.Brown and M.Brown/Daw. The Weid lacks confidence for some reason perhaps it is due the arrival of B.Brown. We cannot afford to play him any more.

    Brown can come in off training form, the fact there is no VFL is not an excuse for not picking players to come in. That’s really ridiculous if you take that to the logical conclusion that no one can get a call up without first playing VFL.

    I wouldn’t hesitate. 

    And the way some Dees fans waive away Brown’s recent history in the Coleman race and yet call back to one game of Weideman three years ago is cognitive dissonance of the highest calibre - you have to try hard to be so obtuse…

    Close the thread. This nails it shut.

    Weideman isn’t cooked he’s just not up to it. Trade him.

    Trade implies two parties each wanting something

    Petty should be trained as the backup forward.

    I believe that he had been, but it is certainly not an option this year in the absence of Tomlinson.

    You cannot play the same 22 every week for 22 weeks 

    The FD needs to strategically rest some players and freshen the group Any that's my view !!

    Dont want to be a downer but I wouldnt get too excited about when the club says he will be back.

    I recall he was only out for two

    Then four

    Then six

    Heres hoping....has been very much missed .

    Hawthorn website has an article on how their players plus a few Pies went in a scratchie against some of ours also with a few Pies. Has the club put anything out about this?

    They can start doing that at rd 16 onwards. Let’s secure our finals place and perhaps even a top 4 before flirting with that idea

    B Brown for Weid. Viney if fit for Sparrow.

    Viney will add a bit of hardness and desperation.

    Team probably needs the bye time out to get a mental and physical rest.

    There is no resting of players after the bye, unless we get to round 22/23 and have a top 2 spot sewn up. Every single game matters now and we will not simply rest players unless they are actually injured and cannot play. 
    If we don’t finish top 2 or at least in a top 4 spot that ensures we play our finals at the G, we are unlikely to win the flag this year.

    While dropping Weid is the right thing to do, there are a few things worth remembering:

    - his preseason was heavily interrupted

    - last year he put in half a dozen really solid games working in conjunction with Jackson in the forward line, if he had of improved off the back of that batch of games, he’d hold his place this year

    - TMac was poor 2019& 2020, same as Harmes, so I wouldn’t write off Weideman, he needs a very good preseason then let’s see what he can do in 2022!

    Agree. Same applies to BB. Both have had interrupted preseasons so it may well be 2022 before we see the best of either of them.

    • 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.
