Who was the lad from the 2’s that kicked 6 straight a few weeks ago? He looked very comfortable in front of goal.

His name will come to me, he is not on the Deed list. A Casey list player. Now he is a good mark really clunks them.

    If this is to happen, has to be a 1st rounder. Take the pick while we can.

    We do have a bloke called Jackson waiting to blossom.

    What's Jackson got to do with Weideman?

    Two completely different players.

    Jackson is not going to solve this problem 

    He's not a natural forward and doesn't have that grunt in him that we need

    Much easier said than done but we need a Naughton, King Brothers, McKay - hell even a Larkey type forward 

    Best to go to the draft and try scoop something

    Generations who grew up as kids with social media have a far heavier reliance on it than older folk who lived a lot of their lives without it. Same way a bloke born in 1840 wouldn't have understood why electricity was so important to have.

    Surely it is essentially only one generation, the current one, who has had to grow up under the influence of antisocial media.

    Jackson, other than looking knackered at the present, has performed admirably as a back up ruckman this year.

    However he has yet to show much aptitude as a KPP forward - it may be a matter of time, or maybe it will never come.  That said he worked well with Weed when they played together (limited time and weird year) in 2020.

    I agree that Petty has had a couple of promising games up front but he's shown several times this year that he clearly plays his best football in the backline. We probably shouldn't move him to the forwardline unless our forwards are hampered by injuries.

    Yes he has been surprisingly good in the backline this year, but if and when Tomlinson returns and hits form, what would we do with Petty?  Play his as a Casey defender, or let him to continue development up forward?

    We haven’t seen Petty play up forward since 2019. What he showed then was pretty good. So far this year he’s played exclusively in defence. I’d like to see him play up forward for a game or two if Tmac and Brown continue to be ordinary.

    Petty would be a chance to play forward if Tomlinson has a successful return from his knee reco.

    I would hope so... my thoughts have been he is a 25 year onwards re-incarnation of a ginger-Neitz.

    I agree - but it would not occur due to the continuity of defence.

    I think we’d simply re-sign him in that instance.

    I think you may have misunderstood my post - not saying at all that petty > tomlinson.

    Just saying that Petty has done a sterling job replacing him, but also has a potential good KPP forward rôle up his sleeve.

    Nah, that wasn't a veiled stab at you.

    It was me - pondering Petty - he has done a great job as a back, but I'm still seduced by his time up forward.

    Interesting article by Jordan Lewis.

    This quote I found very interesting

    “He’s not a confident kid either and maybe that’s because he hasn’t strung consistent games or seasons together.

    I agree with Jordan 

    The Weid is worth persevering with at least into 2022

    He has no trade value so we should stick. Give him another pre-season, hopefully he remains injury free and can do a TMac and surprise us all

    8 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

    he's never had a decent run at it, through both injury and form

    it'll be interesting to see what he wants to do, as i imagine the ball is mostly in his court

    I agree with this, I think Melbourne would like to keep him for if nothing else coverage. He would have to consider whether he would feature in the Melbourne line up in 12 months time on a regular basis, assuming he is both fit and showing form. 

    Aside from Jackson our forward line is ageing so if he believes in himself I think he can do it. Brown getting into a little form at the pointy end of the season isn’t great for him though.

    Agree, two years might give him more confidence. We need three tall forwards on our list. Jackson aside.

    Decent job by Lewis for the most part to try and drive up the trade value. 

    Ship him off to Gold Coast for their second rounder.

    Agree.

     

    Weid can't play with confidence,and can't get confidence when he plays.

    Time to look elsewhere.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
