Now just to get replacements for Weideman AND macDonald

I think it was actually a wry dig at Lever whose " job" that usually is

Some truth in that but then Weid has only played about 3 good games in 6 years. Btw the last one wasn't actually that good and I bet Sparrow is pleased it was TMac not Weid on the goal line in the G/F... Both Kossi and TMac do things each game that Weideman can't even dream about

My take is that Rogan is about as useful to considered community opinion as is a quasi anorexic footballers wife with chiselled jaw ,botox lips painted eyebrows and inflated self worth labelling herself a " social influencer".

That was LJ,but there arnt many of those around .( smile) LJ just "swayed" through the packs and flew to catch the sunlight in his hands like a Mick Taylor solo

It is also said that the attitude that causes grief (aka suffering) is the mind in the sway of the " 8 worldly winds"...seeing choices in terms of wishing or avoidance. Goody might suggest that he makes calm analysis his go to analysis( smile)

Assuming BBB is in then I'm for Tom although it still could go either way I guess. But the thing is that I see Weid and MFC like I see Ronnie Wood and The Rolling Stones!... Weid and Ron are good and both have certain skills to bring. For mine Ron was a fill in session muso when Keef was unreliable and Mick Taylor didn't fit. Now he's a "Stone" albeit creepy weird and a shizen artist. Weid is a fill in forward whose quirks are he that doesn't contest on the ground and flies beautifully on a lead then drops the mark! He can pinch hit in the ruck as well. Any band Ronnie plays with is lesser for it but we forget Taylor and Brian Jones and accept them as picked. If Weid becomes a "Dee" we will forget how that forward line could look if LJ or even Watts had found their place in the 22. It's not as if Weid hasn't been in the rehearsal room for long enough now to show his chops , but at least he's not creepy weird. Tom stays for the time being anyway,though he looks a little personally uncomfortable at times.

One of them has to keep the seat warm for Van Rooyan.... Neither of them are exciting me though. If Tom could run like he used to and didn't give away mindless 50 metres .. or If Weid could hold a contested mark.. First world problems at this end of the season really

BBB had a record of success to point to A couple of marks in a final 4 years ago is not much for Weid to pump himself up like he did pre season pre Covid pre signing renewal

Kossie might benefit from dropping weight ( perhaps muscle)

I didn't have the nerve to say it

How many seasons of " chances to succeed" do you think Weid deserves? WS it prior to 2020 he said he was going to make his big move and become the main man up forward? Was it 2018 he had a good finals game with 3(?) marks? TMac is surely cooked ..he's gone this Christmas like the turkey , but Weid can wait his turn for the future . We've been waiting long enough. One last season for Tom..he could still kick 30 and upset a few packs in the process

Weid will get yet another chance when someone is injured or Tom loses the plot . Otherwise there is no reason to play him in best 22.

Yeah as I have said, here and on the old Ology ,Weid leads well and can kick it too. If you can't catch it under pressure and you have had years and years of time to establish a place in the mix then you are either just depth ,waiting for someone to retire or a list clogger. How long did they pick Weid at the expense of BBB before he got a chance and took it? The" give him a chance" argument is laughably back to front

Weideman .. predicable follow up Time after time Softer than Watts Excellent as depth

I dont imagine farms for ex football players are usually about making a living wage. They do it just because that's what their mates all do...and good luck to them I say. I don't criticise BT for being on a good wicket. It's just that he's a terrible caller and surely someone/anyone else could do better. They all have a use by date ,we naturally get tired of them; it's just he never should have had a start date

YeH I was wrong Weid held 3 (rather than 1) marks but of course didn't like j a goal. He now averages 2 a game though, so maybe that will keep him in the team! TMac is in an awful space but is still miles ahead of Weid.... for now. He's probably cooked and the clo k is ticking but they could try Van Rooyan first if possible ..One would hope anyway. Weid equals depth Weeds are what you keep around the edges until you plant something that will flower

If he kicks one I will be amazed

Weid dropped a sitter? Surely not

Weid won't hold a mark ( well maybe one) despite leading well, and probably won't kick a goal .

Unfortunately Eddie doesn't need the work,but BT does...he can't do anything else so he won't walk away they would have to sack him.....please

At one stage when I tired of re watching " bang bang bang....bang!" I went through the game to listen to BT talking from the cheat sheet he must bring to games to try and match to what he thinks is happening and the waited for Daisy to gently correct him a little later so as not to embarrass him too much more than he does to himself. Actually it was only 3 or 4 times but it was great fun and highlights how useless BT is. She's a lot more careful working with Hodge I

Are you saying he'd be fresh? We won't get rid for Weid for half the season now so TMac out and the forward line will have to adjust to having a tall who can't compete in a pack on board Lever and Brown in Hunt and TMac out

Richmond and Geelong are on a precipice.. This is like Barty being number one.. The superstars are fading ,it was the newbies she would have needed to watch. A couple of them will be champs. We really won't know much until round 5 or 6. When the scibes start talking about a flag for Buddy rather than Sydney you know it's a phoney war

Speculation on Weeds form in the "twos" takes me back about 4 seasons when the Dee's had a list full of second level champions who, when called for, weren't even depth players
