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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
