Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

Take those players out of the team, and Casey probably don't win 20 games for the season and a premiership. Surely, team success is invaluable for player development?

    They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

    Casey have just won a flag and you're  complaining 🤭

    Lots of great young talented kids coming through.

    Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

    Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

    Remember when people complained because we didn’t have a winning culture?

    Congratulations Casey, super effort on the 2022 VFL flag, keep building this culture within the club.

    I hope we never see JVR in the VFL again, he’s pure class.

    With Jackson now Gawn, Weideman could have a chance as a permanent second ruck.

    I like this a lot because Weed would kick goals as a resting ruck in the forward line

    I just can't see Weid at AFL level, if Grundy is recruited to the club no chance.

    Take this [censored] somewhere else.

    Had disagreements with you in the past

    dazzel but couldn’t agree more 

    Flags are always very special at any level

    And we would avoid the huge risk that Grundy is.

    I'd rather use all the money to go all in for Harry McKay.

    This is the 700k question

    Pity he hasn't had long in the role.

    Needs to assert himself around the ground

    I think he did amazingly well. Hopefully goody just does this and saves us 400k a year for a decent forward. In 4 months he has effectively taken up full time rucking duties and has done amazingly well

    The players really love Weideman. Maybe they’re just happy for him. 
     

    So nice to see all the senior guys there. I reckon the ones missing are all going to the Brownlow tonight (Trac, Clarry, Gus and May). 
    Gawn doesn’t have to do his hair so he can squeeze in both. 

    May was there at the start I saw him drive into the car park.

    He was good in this role this year, got him involved in the game.

    Not to mention that Mitch Brown provides excellent protection and education for someone like JVR.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
