    All this  analyses of Weideman makes it seem as if Lloyd doesn't know  he's been in and out of the team for the last five or so years but can't come good..

     

    He's a leading marking forward who can't catch the ball

    He's a good kick 

    He looks as dopey as Mathew Lloyd but isnt as talented which is a pity but still  maybe the Hawks have long memories about playing against him and will be a little worried.

     

    BBB plays like Mr Squiggle but is better at footy.

    Tom is the best of the three but can't keep his form over a full season and he's had nearly 200 games to prove it

     

    These are the kind of correspondents we need in the trenches as we continue our 2022 campaign.

    Classic MFC fan revisionism of BB. He was fantastic at North and has been, and currently is, the best tall forward we have.

    Heard Goody has COVID and Yze to coach.

    There seems to be a strong anxiety on the board about us losing a KP Defender mid match, and thus TMAC is the only way to manage such a scenario, thus he retains his spot in the side... 

    I'd argue there a range of other options, that don't include TMAC. Including one of the rucks to drop into the hole.

    If we lose a defender mid match... then so be it.... it happens.

    Agree - I think that's why match committee also like Smith.  Will be interesting this week to see if TMac stays out and Smith is dropped for Lever.  I have a suspicion that despite his good form, it could be Hunt that goes out instead.

    Bad memories of playing the Hawks in the wet...

     

     

    Wonder if Ooze will coach from the bench

    Goddamn Covid, why such a biatch?!

    I doubt it.  He is the eyes and tactician in the box.

    In an interview recently he described the coaching role on the bench as giving player feedback and keeping their spirits up.

    We have Williams on the bench who they players are very used to having there so it should be fairly seamless.

    That's a weird forecast. You don't normally get 15-35mm just from "showers".

    Goodwin out, Yze in

    With Goodwin out there is no doubt that Lever and Viney being experienced on field leaders will be a welcomed addition to the side.

    The boys have risen to every challenge and this should be no different. You know your roles and  you know your game, just stick to it and back each other.

    At least Oliver (and everyone else) won't need sunscreen.

    First game in 3 years live... staying up in Melbs also for the first time in 3 years (Jolimont) on Friday and Saturday.... anyone got some good recommendations for food that isn't fish n chips or good ol australian country town chinese takeaway?

    Edited by Engorged Onion

    Who are the three out with Covid?? Any whispers?

    The 3 outs with covid could be Bedford, Jackson and Oliver?

    All live in the one household and this purely going off Bedford's instagram..

    By the proverbial county mile too.

    In fact he seemed to have improved his ball handling and an ability to gather off the ground. Some of his work in that regard against the tigers was super impressive.

    A key role for Weed is to block and screen for BB because opposition teams look to double and triple team him all the time.

    Which, by the by, is further evidence of how far ahead is of Weed and Tmac, as with all due respect to both, neither get doubled teamed.

    👎not ideal.  Enter Big Majak and Dunstan to stay in.  

     

    Strong chance of being very wet on Saturday.

    Perhaps a mobile medium or a Chandler gets a chance and Weid is the relieving ruck

    Mitch Brown anyone??

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
