Last week there was no chance but his average test results have changed some opinions

The more I read from you, the more I'm certain you and 'Hogan's Heroes' are related.

    Remember Jack Darling.

    I have a feeling he won't last to 7. Just a gut feel

    ...and a month or so back he was outside the top 10. Who would have guessed.

    He's worth the risk at pick 7, not pick 3 when a player as good is Parish is an option.

    Seconded.

    I hope he's gone by P-3

    They are distant cousins.

    I don't think it's a good thing that I prefer reading what H_H has to say though...

    Imagine if Petracca has convinced his old school and team mate to tank the beep test and we were in on it. Wouldn't that be something. Come to pick 7 Sam.

    Having spoken to him a couple of times (Petracca), he seems like a lad that only accepts giving 100%, so i doubt he would endorse such an approach from one of his mates at school.

    Are there any Herald Sun subscribers that can copy and paste this article?

    Legally we can't copy whole articles but the general gist was that recruiters were preparing for Weideman to be the 'slider' of the draft. There were large concerns that he ran a 10.5 on the beep test which is considered a par result for a typical 18 year old let alone a professional athlete who should be mid 12s. There were two anecdotes suggesting one recruiter who said he believed Melbourne could still pull the trigger at 7, whilst another said he wouldn't be surprised if they took him at 3 knowing they'd get to pair him with Hogan.

    All in all, a genuine fluff piece that now I've finished typing has me seriously questioning why I pay $10 a month to read this rubbish.

    I'd still take a punt on him at 7, his running will improve, i see him as a bit like Jake Stringer in terms of he's a bloody good player but he will slide because of his injury noone has seen it, just little flashes, personally think he'd be top 3 if he'd been fully fit all year.

    Murray Weideman looks gobsmacked.

    He'll be even more gobsmacked when Sam and Jesse form the best forward partnership in the league in a few years time. :)

    Welcome Sam!

    I still have to do a double take thinking that the grandson of a Collingwood Weideman is playing for the MFC. I hope he hecomes a gun, but a bloody Weideman....

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-
