    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
