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

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.

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.

No change, Weideman should get 6 -8 weeks to prove 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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
