[Crimson Azure]

Another game in the 2nd's for Weid.

Is what I think I heard on the radio.

 

[jhong]

Ok, the covid thing I guess. Then how can the seniors play? Two sets of rules it seems.

Happy though we still get out game.

I think they're doing a mini bubble thing, where the team is flying down, going straight to the game, and flying straight home ... I think they've chartered flights for it, so obviously limited with how many people they can bring down.

Lets hope this throws their game off so we can be the worst 8-0 team ever.

Your wish came true. It's great being the worst 8-0 team. Imagine how good we could be if we played well.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

He’s the worst leading key forward drafted in the top 10 to ever not get a game for an 8-0 side

 

[Topkent]

I just don't see a way he can play. Forward line already misfired with pressure inside 50. Can't add another bloody tall

Our pressure was very good tonight.

Our pressure was very good tonight.

Swans doubled our tackles inside 50, either way can't add another tall.

Think that says more about the Swans than us, they’re a great pressure side.

Thubj that might have had something to do with our centre square combo. Don’t disagree we can’t add another tall, pretty clear we probably need to drop Melksham for Chandler or Bedford.

 

[pjfairbairn]

He just doesn't deserve to be there ahead of Brown, TMac or Fritta at the moment. He could replace any of the three if they had 2-3 bad games in a row, or got injured/suspended, otherwise he has to wait

 

[Crusty Demon]

The great thing is, if any of our tall forwards drop off in form or get injured, we have a guy in form and ready to go. I still think he'll get his chance..

 

[Zoops]

I never really wanted Ben Brown. I'll take Weid over him any day.
Watch this space depending on the rest of the season.

This aged like a fine wine.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Is this culcha?

Key word being "big". When you watch weedman this weekend, you will see a noticeable difference in size. Saw him up close at the Saints game, his biceps have biceps. Good to see Tommo up and about too.

Hes a strapping young lad nowadays.

Will kick 5 and make the naysayers eat their shorts.

 

[MartinPrince]

Choof QB on the SCG this is the game. Now or never.

Into the quarterback role. I like it

I'm disappoint , son.

I said a couple of years ago that he lacked the mental toughness and make up to be a KPF. Forever worried about what people think of him, doesn't seem to handle pressure well etc. Last year though I thought he made significant strides in this aspect. But now I'm starting to sway back to my initial thoughts. Perhaps he just can't cope with Ben Brown looking over his shoulder and him needing to perform?

I want him to become our KPF so bad. He's extremely likeable but he needs one of hell of a rocket right now. If he retains his spot this week its a career defining game.

 

[rhaz]

I'd love to see a compilation of all the marks that have just gone DOINK straight out of his hands the last few games.

He's getting close to it but needs to find Jesus/confidence/technique/gloves to start grabbing the marks.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Other than Naughton there aren’t many KPFs who would hold the pack marks SW flies for, and most don’t attempt as many as the Weid does so they don’t appear to drop them as regularly. From a fan perspective he would honestly just be better off staying inside 50 and trying to find more uncontested marks on the lead at this stage, at least until his confidence rises. Tries and fails to do the hard stuff and then is out of position to do the easy stuff. But while we’re winning the coaches don’t seem to care, so who knows.

I'd like to see the double Travis Cloke glove this week from Weid
