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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
