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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
