Even if Weed comes out I think its safe he's in our future. He's shown he's developed a lot and hopefully will continue.

Either way we have to field our best 22 each week. Begrudgingly, weed out Brown in.

    Nervous week ahead Werridee.  
    BBB could replace either Weid or Tmcd.

    Tmcd stays in probably on sentiment as he and Weid were probably about even on the night.  Toss of the coin but Weid might miss out.  Goody showed with Tomlinson that despite form, he wants his best premiership 22 back in formation.

    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.

    Agreed its a great problem.

    But as with Petty, a finals star defender, once fit he's back into the best defence in the AFL no question and the same thinking by Goodwin will do the same and premiership forward back in next week for Weid.

    Hard call but the right one.

    Goodwin avoided the isseu at the presser by emphasising just how tough it is for spots but footy has always been this way. So many in this team are now automatic selections on merit and history.

    Surely Bedford can’t be the sub six times in a row?

    Sure can I reckon. Jordon might have done six straight last year. Goodwin loves stability. Plus he isn’t getting into the starting 22 right now. So unless being the sub is robbing him of a VFL game, he’s in the best place he can be.

    Pin this post. 

    Tmac hasn't fired a shot for too long now and Weed deserves another crack after tonight. 

    Call me the Oracle. 

    Just watched Goodies presser and it's clear that Weed will stay in and Brown will come in for Tom. (save for any unforeseen circumstances). 

    Tom Mac has been so underwhelming of late it beggars belief. You only had to look at his body language post siren to see that he knows he's out of form. 

    Weed not going anywhere, hopefully this will kick Tom into gear a bit.

    Tom looks like that all the time. Getting carried away with celebrations has never been his thing.

    Disagree, he looked more dejected than normal and has been playing that way for a while now. 

    And Thursday night will reveal all. 


    Brown has played 1 game in 3 weeks after COVID protocols then getting suspended.

    Regardless of past points on the board he should get another game in the magoos to prove his form.  Weideman competed hard all night, double teamed most of the time he went for a mark in the F50.

    If Lever pulls up sore this week the Smith comes in for him, should be the only change IMHO

    I’d drop Hogan for Brown….   Oh wait…

    Hmm not sure about that.

    He went nuts when he shepherd that Tom Sparrow goal in last year's grand final.

    His body language when he missed that goal late in the game showed a guy that's completely bereft of confidence.

    Third.

    Goodwin rewards form and was effusive in his praise for Weed's game last night and his last three weeks. 

    Imo he wouldn't say that and then drop him for Brown. 

    McDonald it is.

    Barring injury it'll be BBB for SW. That's no disrespect to Sam but just like Harry Petty this week Ben Brown is definitely best 22 material and often commands an extra opposition defender for that reason.

    If Weed doesn't stamp his authority now on cementing a spot in our fwd line he never will.

    He has to stay in and unfortunately BBB has to behide his time in the Twos.

    Attacked the contest well last night, he will pick himself if his performances are there, if not can only blame himself.

    He's had 3 already would like to see him stick around in a bit longer but as said before BBB a best 22 player, imagine they'll drop SW before 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. 

    I must have missed when lever and petty came j to undefeated sides for Smith and Tomlinson, Ben Brown if fit is our best tall fwd no way of fit he doesn’t come in regardless of team form

    Interesting different people's take on the game, for mine both were hardly sighted in the first half, then both elevated their game after half time. Both became useful contributors but nothing outstanding. It's fanciful that BBB wouldn't replace one of them, he's ahead every day of the week. I'll stick by this even if he doesn't get picked. For mine it's Weid out out, I believe TMac gives more consistency of effort than Weid who never seems to take the game on just hopes that the game comes to him.

    Weed did a pretty good job, though still dropped too many that he got to, but BBBB surely is a given.

    Otherwise absolutely no change (barring injury)

    Three that he dropped Brown would have swallowed.

    • 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.
