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.

    If Nth come last they might low ball followed by trying to get Weid to walk through the pre-season draft. 

    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

      On 06/08/2021 at 14:54, 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.

    Don't give these Bas#$@%# nothing, hang on to him if he wants to stay.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
