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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
