FMD !!!

I'll add to my above comment - for reasons of clarity.

Weid has had his chances but has shown nothing to inspire confidence.

However, having said said that, I hope he plays a blinder !!!!

And .....who knows ...... him being the number one ... the one and only KPF may be just the fillip he needs to get his [censored] into gear!!

Bit of deja vu there uncle!  Wish i had $100 for everytime i've read this about the Weid

    Fair enough. I guess I have less faith in Weid firing, than I do in Benny rehabbing from a knee injury.

    I think we will have to rely on Tracc as well as the Weid.

    I don't. Except for the odd moment or match, sitings of our premiership form have been few and far between. Too many players down on form/injured/out. If we win more than one match in the finals I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    We saved our absolute best for September last year. Why can't we do that again this year?

    BB has been proppy since he limped off at half time in the Adelaide game. We've done well to manage him through the last few games. I don't know if I'm more worried about him missing or that Weid is taking his place.

    Going by the chatter about BBB this week, that he can't fully train and will always have a tender knee. (He isn't a Buddy.)

    I think we need a stable forward line, going into the final series. If it functions well without him , I can see us not picking BBB.

    He's performed better with a dickie knee than Weideman has produced in his whole career. BBB was very good last week. If Weid comes close to emulating what BBB does, I'll be shocked.

    I’m not interested in whether Weid can kick a bag, but looking for him to hold his marks. No more dropped marks or double grabbers. Clunk it at the highest point/or bust the pack and allow Pickett and Spargo to go to work

    Brown finally takes a few marks and now is out. Typical. Beginning to doubt if he can run a season

    Eek...

    Would have been happy with the Weideman/Brown combo but Weideman as the sole key forward doesn't fill me with much confidence at all unfortunately.

    Agree, has to have a one grab mark.

    I can also see ANB and Viney, taking some time deep in the forward area and getting some snaps, from the front and centre positioning under Weid.

    BBB has been asked to do too much. Little wonder he couldn't get up. Our rucks were pathetic up forward last week. If they don't contribute again, can't see us winning.

    Have some faith.

    He is a big guy, gets lots of support from the club, has a good kick. Be great if we can get some ball into him quickly and allow him to get out back or some separation when on his lead.

    A combo of Mitch Brown and either Tomlinso or Van Rooyen on the other hand!!

    REALLY LAST CHANCE HOTEL FOR WEEDS I HAVE TO SAY

    I'd be more confident if they used Tomlinson back (the backline worked well with him last week) and brought Petty forward.  Petty's better than Weid, even forward.

    Gawn just has to be played as a permanent forward for this game

    I think Weideman will do better as the sole forward rather than alongside Brown. At least he will know it’s up to him to compete every time.

    Go well Sam. 

    The fast pace of matches at Marvel might help him. Coupled with the fact he will be the primary target in F50.

    I was always sceptical of the multiverse theory Kev... until now!

    Yes would much rather see this.  The Doggies have one of the shortest forward line ups.  No need for Petty down back this week if they bring Tomo as a late in (subject to Petty / team spending time training with him as a forward?).

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
