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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
