    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??

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
