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.

Errrrr Jacko is 19 years old.  Have another look at him in 2023.

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. 

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

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.

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

Time to look elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
