WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM WEIDEMAN

in Melbourne Demons

I just watched the AIS Academy vs Northern Blues game - and I must admit - very impressed by Weideman.

Presents well, good leading patterns, strong mark, good set shot, very competitive and gets into the contest when the ball hits the ground.

He's got a lot of attributes that are well suited to the modern game.

    Dal Santo. IIRC Daniher didn't specify Molan, rather he asked CC to draft the 'toughest' kid in the draft, which CC assessed to be Molan.

    Who we never ever had an opportunity to see, due to random unrelated injuries

    Yes great to see a forward line in our 2017 finals campaign as:

    Kent Weideman Vince

    Gartlett Hogan Petracca

    Weideman is good enough to be a key fwd in the AFL within 2 years

    That does look good.

    It's also good to acknowledge that my sense of schadenfreude outweighs my hatred for the filth.

    My, what would WYL think......

    Can he play relief ruck and does he have mongrel?

    Sam Blease came from Eastern Rangers!! Highly credentiallled!!

    Give me a Graeme Yates Dandenong Stngray, anyday!!

    Not discounting the Weed, however!!

    Hips hnmm shades of Toumpas revisited!

    Just a little Cautious or as I have used in the past

    "Caveat Emptor"

    Tom Scully was a Stingray, Petracca was from Eastern. Just saying.

    Yes on both counts.

    I don't like his filthy bloodline, you just know it's only a matter of time until Bucks ambushes him on an oversees holiday and convinces him to join Pappie's old club!

    Just can't see Weideman lasting until 7.

    all I want for Christmas is Weid in the Melbourne Xmas stocking. after that grab a mid.

  • Quote

    The fact that he supports Richmond, not Collingwood, is the best thing I've heard about him. I'm a lot keener on him now.

    Is it at all out of the realm of possibly we take Weideman at 3 and we take the mid that falls to us at 7 out of Mathieson, Oliver & Francis given Parish would be snapped up prior to our next live pick?

    Is there more upside in landing a KPF to partner with Hogan and a mid who may not be as good as Parish now in his junior years? Is the gap between Parish and the other mids that great we MUST take Darcy at 3 and miss out on a chance at getting a KPF in the draft?

    Whichever course the club follows, it will certainly provide a nucleus for vehement and passionate debate on this site for many years to come.

    Undoubtedly there will be some who will get great joy out of advocating their position should both picks not turn out to be Brownlow medalists within a few years.

    I think the odds are that there will be a better secondary choice option available as a KPF at pick 7, than there will be as a midfielder if we pass on Parish at pick 3.

    I'd rather Parish + Weideman/McKay/Curnow than Weideman/McKay/Curnow + Mathieson/Oliver/Francis.

    Parish certainly doesn't last til pick 7 unfortunately.

    You were just telling us the other that a source within the club told you we would be getting parish at 3...

    Parish and Weideman would be a pretty strong get for mine. My preference is Weideman over Curnow if both were available as I do have a concern that the latter could be a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm generally wrong.

    This may be more suited to the 'differing opinions' thread - but you know what JR, this is what Demonland needs - a little self deprecation. Everyone's become a [censored] expert on this site.

    We should have a confession thread. I'll start: I too thought Toumpas would be good. I thought Lucas Cook would be part of the answer to our forward line problems and I was staggered Dom Barry wasn't at least a poor man's Cyril Rioli. I am now thinking Curnow could be fools gold and Weideman may be the next Pavlich.

    Go Dees.

    Just read that Weideman and Burton will undergo special medical screening 6 days before the draft.

    If Weideman comes back as negative it could change the landscape of the top 10.

    Mmm, the plot thickens...

    My immediate reaction is that Collingwood is playing tricky buggers.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
