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.

 

Should've rolled the JVR die against Port!  Never die wondering!

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. 

OK Weid grab it now!!!!  Finals around the corner and a chance to get in the side and be there if we make it deep!

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


Time for the Weed to plant some roots!

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. 

Edited by Rob Mac......

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

Edited by Macca

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. 

Time for the Weed to get high off his own supply!


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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
