Stiff Arm

Viney so important to the balance of our midfield. Looking forward to him crunching a few Bombers with his tackling pressure. Keeping the pressure on the Ess ball carrier is crucial. Get them to panic and turn it over. They like a free flowing possession game. I prefer the smaller foward line, especially if its a bit slippery. Weid and BBB are better suited to dry conditions. We did well without the earlier in the season with Tom McDonald stepping up. Dees by 30

Man with a plan: Tom McDonald

MFC 16 game member and just got 1 ticket. Can't be many left, as 3 of the 4 bays behind the goals allocated to our club are full. At least that's the message I kept getting on ticketek site. Get in quick!

With all due respect, its waaaaaay too early for this type of discussion. Perhaps after prelim week I reckon Chunk would probably hate this concept anyway. He's 100% selfless. GFs are for best 22 only. If he is, great. But at this stage, no.

First time, long time. Whilst I believe that Weideman should and will be dropped for one of the Browns, I do think he's worth keeping on our list for at least the next year. Unless he wants out, lets keep him. He'll want 2 years minimum, and that's ok as long as it's on our terms and his manager is reasonable with where he's at atm, which isn't a position of strength. But if he goes, I trust the club to make the right deal. Thankfully, level heads will make the call, we've done well with trades and recruiting of late. I do believe he has the physical attributes and skill to improve his AFL output significantly. Could it largely be between the ears/confidence that are holding him back? Choco and Ooze have only been at the club for about 6 months, those two might just be pivotal in any possible resurgence of Weideman this season. Lets hope so. Go dees!
