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.

    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....

      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.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
