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......

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
