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?).

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
