Zero second. Efforts.  JVR is closer to a call up

And that is the problem with him and Daw if they are out of reach they don't chase, they stop unless it goes back to them.

    Agree re Weid he needs to cultivate an intensity and attitude that it’s his forward line, could have lined up a North defender with a fierce tackle in the 3 and just wandered in… 

    Hard to teach a nice man to be a mongrel. 

    If he doesn't have it now he never will.

    Weid might be the unluckiest player ever to not get a call up to the seniors if he ends up with a bag of 10

    You mean outside of Brian Taylor, Mark Scott and Mark Jackson?

    JVR has incredible ground ball skills for a big man. Hits the contest with intensity and gathers cleanly. Good in front of the sticks too. I'd say we have found one here but with Taylor at the helm I think we knew we'd have the goods.

    I thought Van Rooyen may be a bit small for a KPF but only 1cm smaller than Macca (according to google)

    Looks like a great successor for Tmac

    Wish he had some like his grandfather Murray he would own CHF but then again I don't think he would play many games the way it is umpired now....

    The way Jason Taylor has been  recruiting he will likely  end up a Dees Hall of Famer one day.

    Weid kicks 6 and still gets pummeled on Demonland. Of course.

     

    Did you watch?   I could have booked bobbed up on the half forward flank for a couple.    North were atrocious.    As noted, weid doesn't do enough without the ball

    Doesn't matter what Weid does, some Demolanders will smack him for something that they perceive he didn't do.

    Weid has 10 marks and 20 hitouts, Demoland: 'Oh but he just doesn't hit the scoreboard!'

    Weid has 6 goals, Demonland: 'Oh but he just doesn't do enough other stuff!'

    Far out.

    The Weid is an interesting player. i saw the last half live and was, like a few other posters a little disappointed in his output, and was surprised he kicked that many (6). So why is he marked more harshly than others ?  I think its because he could be so more effective if he started marking a lot of the marks he spills. He gets his hands on a lot of kicks but drops so many....it gets frustrating, probably for him as well.

    If he was as good as you say he'd be in the side.  He's not, and there are VERY good reasons at least 3 guys are ahead of him at our club

    JVR very impressive. Good mark and his 2nd efforts were very good. His contest and tackle to get the holding the ball in the 3rd quarter showed his potential. Sometimes it’s how you play without the ball that shows your ability. I think he will be managed at Casey this year but is definitely ready to step up if we need him.  
     

    Woey jnr also showed his run and composure with the footy. 
     

    Bailey Laurie is a small forward (creative half forward) in my view and today showed his ability.  A goal from 55 and another smart snap showed his love for a goal.  Probably shapes as a backup to Spargo at this stage.  But he again is another player who could step up to AFL level if required.

    Nowhere did I say he's a gun. The point is there's a ton of Demonlanders who will put him down no matter the output.

    Sure, Brown and TMac (albeit only just most of the time) are ahead of him, but who's the third? You're surely not suggesting JVR (who is yet to debut) are you?

    Not being able to get to more than 1 game a year if I'm lucky, I can only watch on TV.  I am pretty neutral on Weid but one thing stands out on TV and was visible again in today's game.  When an opponent has the ball coming out of defence and Weid can see that he won't cut his run off, he makes no effort to do so.  Weid is probably right, he'd wouldn't effect the player 99 times out of 100.  But surely he should always go at him.

    JVR bears a remarkable resemblance to The Ox at the same age, both physically and skill-wise.

    We’ve got a beauty here

    Mitch Brown, mate.  That's why he's in Perth ahead of Weid

    Ok.

    Also though, he had 6 goals, 19 disposals, 6 marks and 3 clearances today. Good on him.

    Just don't understand why the focus always has to be negative with Weid.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
