No thank you. He's lost it.

You are making those up, it's not even an opinion, it's just plain made up. The irony is not lost that Weid is openly discussing online trolls and some on here are calling him names and pedalling negative discussion about his commitment to the club. I think this is the polite verion of what he thinks: "I think there’s a lot of passion coming out in their comments and I don’t think they understand the power it can have on the players and how much effect it can have,” Weideman said. “We don’t go searching for these sorts of comments­­­­ but sometimes they’re quite direct and unavoidable."

They are not alone in having a poor season. No one is denying this. By your logic we'd look to replace every player bar Gawn and Salem this year. We are just starting to get our best team on the park and Weid showed some glimpses last week. It's a team game. Better delivery, less crowding, increased fitness is the key. Talent doesn't just disappear. PS. Thanks for the second personal attack in as many replies to me ?

Misso must've done something right then! (touch wood)

How'd he go in the big dance? Wasnt Weid BOG in the final vs Geel last year? Cox's career average is 9 disp and just over a goal per game I agree with the concept of structure missing in our forward line. This is more critical than getting Cameron or the like. Your arguments to sell the farm for a key forward would be better described as the Swiss cheese position.

But for one set shot on goal last year, it would've been that dud Cox. Post hoc ergo propter hoc

You should be a doctor, Binny. Performance anxiety sounds spot on!

Hey, to all those Docs on this thread, and there's obviously many, can one of you look at this nasty boil on my butt, I think it's having a panic attack... FMD!

7 kicks? That seems to be about right

Collingwood are a flag contender this year, which is what I was responding to. You could also argue that Cox doesn't fill this need for them at all. They have DeGoey, but IMO Cox is far from being a quality key forward

I can tell you one club he won't go to: Collingwood.

Greg Healy? ?

Collingwood?

I understood yhat Lynch's contract is severely back ended.

I also hold hopes that Mr Preuss can build a tank over the next 2 preseasons and be another strong option in the forward line. The reality is that not all of our tall forwards will be fit or in form for a whole season. Once he has a tank I'd like to see Mr Preuss given the opportunity for a few games in a row. Has shown he has some understanding of leading patterns, is quite a strong mark and neat kick for his size, and has goal awareness. Not saying he is our next key forward, just that he will need to show veratility to get games while Max is our no 1 ruck.

Crazy talk!

He certainly deserves HOF award. Personal opinion.

This ?

WTF? Of course they'll play again in 2019

Or maybe we can wait until closer to the end of the season before presuming we are looking for a kpf for next year. I'm sure Mahoney and Todd Viney will be well advanced in looking at a variety of current players. Not sure ot will be a forward to replace Tmac or Weid, who have clearly not been going at 100%. Personally, I think an A grade mid with good pace and foot skills is a higher priority. Coniglio (FA) or Whitfield would be nice. Not saying I wouldn't be happy with another kpf, just not Patton who has had 3 knee recos. Ben Brown would cost us 2020 first round pick. What would Tomlinson cost?

Not in the maturity sense

Bloody hope the Bucks vs Mick feud will take the Magpie's minds off the game. Get stuck into each other fellas! Don't hold back!

I was under the impression from VFL watchers that his kicking was iffy. Can't see it myself

Woey? Dipper? Libba? Agree that Hardie would be in the mix At least he won it in his first year, kudos for that.
