Anyone know what Taylor saw in Weideman to justify picking him over Harry McKay?

I guess he didn’t have a crystal ball. 
 

And any chance we will analyze Carlscum’s goal kicking tonight, and have some “learnings”?

I’ve really rated him over the years. Something stinks about them this year, but the same could have been said about us in 2019.

The difference is we traded well after 18 and got some spine about us. They don’t have any structure, and spent money on midfielders who haven’t delivered.

I reckon the difference is they don’t have quality at the back.
Their lack of skills and gameplan has to come back to coaching though

Most of Carlton’s set shots have been elementary and Walsh has snapped a few beautys. McKay snagged a set shot from outside 50 on the flank that none of our blokes could pull off.

Meanwhile we take all our set shots from sharp angles.

I just spent 2 minutes Googling 2015 AFL phantom drafts and found the following four, all of which rated Weideman above Mackay:

Who’s the Blues goalkicking coach? Get him in at any price. 15.2. Really!!! 

Before tonight they'd kicked more behinds than goals, including 5.14 three weeks ago vs Geelong.

Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didn’t watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

Oh please don't start BBP, I'm trying to forget this even transpired.

Port, Swans and Lions all have difficult games this weekend. GWS and Essendon in the mix for the 8 so have everything to play for while the Hawks in Tassie won't be easy for the Lions and particularly post the Clarko announcement

Us to win and those 3 teams to lose would make a perfect weekend.

And the cherry on top would be North beating Geelong in Tassie. Very unlikely but you never know.

JT would’ve been the greatest recruiter of all time had he selected a Coleman medalist and a probable top 3 Brownlow medalist in the same first round’s draft.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
