Absolute joke we are playing ahead of a Coleman medallist.

Doesn’t say much for BB if you ask me - I’m not convinced he’d do any better - IMO it’s 50/50 if he’ll ever play well again 

Our forward line remains a real weakness 

I have never been a fan of Weid but have been happy to give him some time but I just can’t see anything that suggests he is capable of being a decent senior AFL forward 

 

 

Shame we didn’t have Jason Taylor for the 2015 AFL Draft. 

Probably would have ended up with a better prospect…McKay, Rioli, Himmelberg, Hipwood or Menegola

Weideman may prove us wrong and all credit to him if he does this with us like TMac or at another club but if we keep playing him at the expense of BBB the we only have ourselves to blame.

Mate Jason Taylor was a recruiting manager that year..

He aint going anywhere. 

Why would you leave a club you've been at thats finally competing and will for the next 5 years?

One injury to either Jackson, Brown or Tmac and he's in

Well that would be a worry.

Id prefer Mitch Brown over Weideman after his game today.

After five years you can make a reasonable judgement call about his future.

His surname is pedigree but he hasnt consistently showed it.

Why keep someone who hasnt done well for five years?

So he can do little for another five?

Isnt that a definition of insanity?

 

This guy has the chance to add a half million a year to his next contract by performing. Not made of the right stuff.

Haven’t we had Taylor since about 2012?

Stand very much corrected Dazzle/Layzie! 

Would prefer Hipwood/McKay or Himmelberg over Weid if we could turn back time.

I don’t believe negotiations will be protracted anymore. Weid will be lucky to be offered base salary assuming he doesn’t get the chop.

Edited by John Crow Batty


People will try defend him and blame the midfielders disposal, but let’s be honest, who here would continue to kick to someone who drops the ball 100% of the time.

In fact the mids are doing the right thing by not kicking it to him as if they do he will either be out-marked or his opponent will stroll away from him as a rebound with no pressure

i think he'll stay, a 2yr deal on no where near the money we previously offered him or he wanted and if after next year he hasn't pushed tmac out of the side which could still happen given tmac wasnt much better today then he might leave. but he wont want to leave on a multi year deal coz his value is at its lowest he won't get paid much at all anywhere

If you think he is ever pushing TMac out of the side you are dead set kidding yourself.

Let's hope clubs are circling because he is a spud.

True. But just to be transparent, I believe this article was from a couple of years ago. But couldn’t be more prudent now! He has zero bargaining chips at the moment. I think the club will delist him


Where is the Weid that starred against the Cats in the first final in 2018. He has the ability, what has gone wrong.

Unlike most of you, I refuse to write him off, now.

How many more games or seasons? 


lI can say is BYE BYE

It's hard to estimate where his value sits at the moment. He clearly has talent and he's shown he can perform at the senior level, but his season to date (alongside the final month of 2020) has left much to be desired. Looking at the stats, he's only managed 4 goals from his last 9 games of senior football.

He just seems totally devoid of any confidence at the moment. Marks aren't sticking, goals aren't coming and his impact on the side over the last month has been non-existent. It's hard to see him playing against the Bombers in 12 days. Like many, I'm hoping he can turn it around but the clock is ticking. 

On the plus side, I'm looking forward to Big Benny Brown have an extended run at full forward after the bye. 

Jason Taylor made a curious comment a couple years ago that recruiters on occasions get it wrong, but just wished they had asked a certain specific question or two at the time to maybe weed out a few issues regrading personality and drive etc. The easy call at the time would have been thinking this statement was in regards to Trac, but I sincerely felt he was referring Weid. Has all the tools but never remotely displayed the hunger. Said to a Wobbles mate this week that he would most likely be at their club next year, the only issue being now that Eddie has gone they were less likely to pay overs. 

 

It’s obvious the FD rate him and I can see what they see but you can’t be so bereft of confidence that you go into your shell for a month. He was backed in by the MC and Goodwin and he couldn’t get there. I remember seeing him bashful and embarrassed after the Bulldogs win and I thought to myself - ‘really? You are upset with your own performance after that win? You can’t get out of your head for 5 mins and enjoy a great team win?’

He didn’t lose me after that because I think anyone can turn it around but he has a long way to go and it may be best for all parties if we move on. 

We have a bonafide FF ready to take his spot and he is OOC… Cest la vie… 

Maybe we can trade Weeds and Brisbane’s 2nd rounder for a pick in the 20s

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
