WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM WEIDEMAN

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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
