If Weid gets picked next week we are going backwards

Brown will play and Melksham will be sub. I don't think form in the VFL will mean a lot with the short turn around

    Someone in another thread suggested JSmith, which would be a backwards leap - Weed would depend on what he does and how he does it tonight. 
    Anyine know if the opposition are any good?

    Can't replicate VFL form in the AFL

    Is B B still of the ground??

    Just got home - lasted the first half.  It's bloody freezing at Casey Fields.  On the first half Brown is no chance.  Didn't get near it.  Weidemann was solid - took some nice grabs.  Vandenberg playing well but he's more of the same really.  I think Weid offers us more versatility.  Brown does nothing when he doesn't have the ball and gets it so rarely that his impact with it is negligible.

    Half the problem might be the quality of supply Swooper.  The MFC don't have a history of playing with a genuine Key Tall on the lead and i doubt our VFL squad (tonight), Melk maybe an exception, would have the foot skills to even place the ball in the right spots out in front (softly) let alone lower their vision and look for him on the lead very often.

    I suspect most will just play their usual run and gun style and hope someone takes a clunker or a small starts crumbing off the spillages (deeper vs on the lead).

    Hopefully the likes of Rosman & DeClase will learn a bit of this and have the skills to do so more often in the next few years.  Would we even have this skill set as a desired / key objective within our senior FD teachings given Stafford was a ruckman?

    P.S. i did see Rosman spot up BB last week doubling back and managed to kick it over the heads of the defenders allowing BB to run onto it and goal....so he already has the potential / brains here.

    You are possibly, no probably ,right about our delivery.  The truth is that won't change in the next two months, which makes Brown redundant.  He can't really offer anything than a straight hard lead, which the mids will invariably miss.  Perhaps he brings the odd ball to ground but I'd prefer Weidemann to have more impact given the way our side move the ball.  I know it sounds counter intuitive based on Weid's recent output.

    not many understand what the modern VFL is all about

    It's a training session with simualted match conditions

    GWS are playing top up players and we are ... well I hope we know what we are doing.

    On a sunny day it's a lovely watch.. when it's 4 degrees dark and an hour minimum drive home I'll get back to a decent movie

    I know he is probably out again with a suspect hammy Swooper but would have been a perfect fit to land Cameron, albeit he was never coming i realise.  Personally i think we have to give BB a decent block and run at it from here to test the waters otherwise we probably don't make a PF this season let alone a GF.

    People who keep advocating for Weid are like the punter who keeps backing a horse in the city that they saw win a maiden at Moe and can't work out why it keeps running last.

    From what I saw last Sunday, Weid looked good playing the high half forward/wing role. Problem is that is where TMac is killing them, especially today he was brilliant but he is commanding the ball between wing and half forward and then kicking into a forward void of Spargo, ANB and Fritsch.

    Yep, would agree with that, although Weid has hit the scoreboard tonight.  I think they (Macca and Weid) are both lead up half forwards.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
