Agree.

I like Weid. But just not up to it. Has no presence

    Any chance with 50 seconds left and a throw in on the half back flank, a forward or two would go down back to help defend?

    How someone 197cm tall and 97kg has zero presence is beyond me. It wouldn’t matter if he was 297cm and 197kg, he simply has no desire for the contest.

    BT and Brayshaw spent 5 minutes crapping on about Jackson leaving and what the trade looks like. Such poor commentary. No analysis of the game whatsoever. I am not surprised. 

    Also showing replays and missing a minute of the game. Atrocious.

    BT says we’ll done. I say he got [censored] lucky. A miss kick went to a team mate then the ugly punt luckily bounced in to goal, could’ve easily have gone the other way. 

    BT is an [censored]  that's why they usually have Daisy to correct him

    Just randomly naming Freo players as trades. Just STFU already and call the game.

    Really? Jack Viney has delivered one of the great halves of footy you’ll ever see, the effort across the team has been selfless and intense in hostile territory, and all anyone wants to do is pot Weed?

    This place is better than that isn’t it?

    Watching Jackson think he could run and bounce on wet turf I decided he's even more stupid than he is ugly.

    Meanwhile Melksham is showing Labd what Goody is smarter than a lot of you guys

    Same amount of disposals as Lobb, but has had more tackles.

    Might not be a night for the key forwards.

    Nev, Weideman hasn't even had a kick or handball the whole half. Lobb has actually touched it 4 times and has had a contested mark.

    There is no justifying Weideman's performance tonight, this is as poor as it gets unfortunately.

    Probably not if analysis of Melksham is any guide. 

    Is Weid actually playing tonight?

    This is the real test now. The dogs flicked the switch last week and we couldn’t respond. We have to maintain this lead! C’mon Boys!

    Lobb has had 4 touches... Weid has had none.

    No touches and 2 tackles.

    The evidence is in. End the experiment.

    He will not make it.

    Heck, I wouldn’t mind if he had no touches if he threw his body around. Physicality Weid.

    Yeah just realized I looked at the wrong number there.

    Has been poor, but find it pretty [censored] even by Demonland standards that that's what people are focusing on.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
