Brown makes us better than either Weid or TMac and so comes in for one of them. I’d keep TMac after tonight. But it’s not an easy decision between the two. 

Keep a watch out on two others though: Lever looked proppy after the game, boots off and limping. No ice from what I could see. And ANB was also limping, and I think maybe had an injury issue this week?

I thought Trac looked ok not sure y’all getting the looked injured . He was jumping for marks and exploding out of stoppages. I think he’ll be ok. 

 

Lol we could win by 1000 and Ben Brown would still be getting a game next week. 
 

In: Brown 

Out: Tmac

There is no chance we will make a change after such a dominant performance. Weid was good he will need a drop of form and Brown to play well in the 2's for Brown to get his spot back. Sorry Ben but you are definitely playing in the 2's next week,. A great problem to have.

BBB is EASILY superior a player to T.Mac or Weeds... none of which.. ah are in any form to speak of so therefore getting rid of sentiment or try hard or anything else... just play our very best side every week

BBB IN...EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!

Ben Brown in is a no brainer, I could make a argument for for dropping both Wied and Tmac, why not both and give Mitch Brown a call up.

Ben Brown is the most overrated player on demonland. I will put my house on it that he won't play against the tigers.

No change.

With all due respect. I couldn't disagree any more. Weideman doesn't take the spot of Ben Brown, one of our most important players, just because he played 1 good game 3 weeks ago. Using the same logic, Tomlinson would've stayed in the team and kept Petty out despite Petty being the much better player.

In: Ben Brown
Out: Weideman

Weideman is widely regarded on demonland as being a player that is playing for his career and yet somehow he is still overrated.


In  BBB, JVR

Out  TMAC, WEID

If JVR plays well tomorrow 

Probably too early for JVR but I like what I see from him, his body looks ready for AFL, Surely he is eyeing off a spot in the one's.

Weird needs to lead. Too often he was just jogging back inside 50 when he should have been sprinting back. 

In: BBB.        Out:  Weiderman

Especially in the first half, the ball was kicked so often to Weid and he just didn't succeed.

I thought I saw ANB cop a nasty cork from the big GWS ruckman in a marking contest.  Ran out the game so hopefully will be fine to go next week.

Out... this ridiculous showing dissent 50 rule. What is this??? It is the stuff of fifties and sixties schoolyard discipline. A player not even on the mark throws his hands up in mild frustration and gets pinged for 50?? Come on. Happy to have a verbal 50 rule but this is outrageous. AFL need to get rid of this blight on the game. Are we trying to take the human element of frustration totally away? What next? DREAM POLICE pinging blokes for facial expressions depicting dissent?? Get rid of it!

Brown in. Weed out.

Let me know where I pick the keys up from. Listen to Goody’s press conference and read between the lines and I suggest Weid stays to partner Benny. That would be the change I would make as well.

In BBB

Out: TMac


Last year, Hunt lost his place in the team and couldn't get it back. We have to reward form. As good as BBB is, he has to now wait just like he had to last year.  He makes us a better side but our forward line clicked into top gear last night and it looked very, very good.

No change. Unless Lever is still limping today.

It's funny, my reading of those comments were, Sam that's what you need to keep doing - that's tbe standard of contest.

And when you go back to Casey keep focusing on those things - don't get down, you're on the right track.

I rate him as capable of kicking three in a GF when it’s an actual game. And reality rates him that way too.

And get ready to hand over your keys. Perhaps Demonland should get your house? Imagine the servers this thing could run on with $200k? $300k? What are we looking at here?

My reading was, competition is tight and we haven’t decided yet.

Brown will come in for one of them, but I don’t know how you’d decide which. I thought Weid looked more dangerous aerially, but TMac was crucially involved in a lot of scoring passages. I thought both were good. It’ll probably be Weid but I can see reason in all the possible options.

Weid did some really good things last night. He was playing BBB role to a tee and got up the ground regularly, even brought the ball to the ground. 

He was a F50 target on many occasions but didn't clunk a few he should have.

He will be stiff but he ain't no BBB sadly.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
