Hes 25 in a few months.

Everyone hopes he will do well but at this stage, I think time is against him.

He simply must fire tonight and continue to do so. 

I'm pleased you mention his age...so far the excuses for his non production  of results run to " its all above his shoulders"...he's been playing AFL for 6 or 7 years and he's a grown up...or he  hasn't had a good run in the "ones"...I don't know how many sequential games he's played ,or how many times, but I am confident  there has not been a rolled gold full forward keeping him out of the 22 when he's had his chance (s)...

    Robbie Flower played chilled. Seemed to work for him ok.

    Same goes for Fritter and Langdon. 

    Different strokes for different folks. 

    Flower was a genius who saw the ball way ahead of opponents and seemingly played in slow motion. Similar to Pendles.

    Weid not in the same universe as robbie.

    Dont get me wrong as i hope weid has a fantastic game and gets his role done.

    I would love to see this bloke make it, even if its at the expense of one of my favorite players in Tmac.

    If he doesn't make it this year, I fear time will start to be against him. This is  all I'm trying to say.

    He has the fitness....pedigree and talent. 

    Maybe tonight will be his breakout game. Come on SW.

    I can assure you I wasn't comparing weed and robbie skill wise.

    My point was that to perform well, to get into a flow state, players have to work out what mindset and energy works best for them to get in that state.

    And then make sure they can get into that state every game.

    For some, like may it will be all hype and controlled energy. 

    Others might need to go internal or relaxed, because otherwise they get too worked up.

    Know thyself.

    Tomlinson sat out the second half at Casey.  Late change?

    Decided before the VFL game so it's just precautionary.

    If there was a real chance of an out he would not have played at all

    Watch Dunsatns career highlights

    shows him kicking goals not getting clearances!

    I've watched enough Dunstan that I don't need a highlight package. He's a clearance player and a high half forward.

    My point exactly.

    If Weid needs to be more 'chilled' to perform and has trouble controlling say, anxiety, then hopefully the club is working on this with him. BBB's encouraging hug to Weid after the game suggest this and that awareness of all around him is not an issue and was a credit to Ben to put his arm around Sam.

    Never would I compare the skill of any player with Flower, let alone Weid.  My point was Flower may have been on edge but having seen nearly all his games live , one would oftern never have an inkling he was conerned about what happens next when close to the ball. He knew ahead of everyone around him.

    I have no idea of Robbie's "state of mind" on the field but in the half dozen or so passing encounters off it (one of those over the phone a couple in the rooms) he seemed a pretty straight down the line 'no nonsense' fella from what i recall. 

    I know most players are similar but he particularly hated losing and was pretty grumpy after losses ....not dissimilar to Clarry in that regard?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
