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.

    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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
