JT on Weideman: He never takes his eye off the ball, is strong one-on-one. He’s a good set-shot kick, good awareness around him." #AFLDraft

Β 

Very happy with this selection.... and hes listed at 195 cms and 94 kgs

Edited by Petraccattack

Love how we grabbed Weideman with the pick that belonged to Collingwood prior to trade week.

That'll drive some Pies fans nuts!

(Treloar's a decent consolation…)

SW listed at 196cm. Genuine KP height.

Welcome Sam. Hope you don't mind sharing the limelight with some kid named Jesse

May your love blossom for one another and may your date nights involve decapitating key position defenders together.


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....

His Grandfather help prevent us winning six in a row.

It will be bloody wonderful when is tearing up the Pies on future QB games.

love it.

We'll be seeing the comparison of Oliver and Weideman vs Parish and Francis for the next 10 years.

Here's hoping we have the better of the two.

Quietly after Oliver I was hoping Parish would slide, but am still very happy with Weideman.

Great result, mid who should be able to have an impact right away and a very talented key forward who if he gets his body right i am backing to be the best player in this draft.


Hoping like crazy Mathieson doesn't get to the bombers in the late 20's.

Really hope he, Tucker or Balic slide to one of our late picks, but I doubt it.

Weideman on SEN:

-His grandfather and Barassi are great mates

-His family is delighted about going to the Dees

-Had spoken to Melb a few times over the months and knew we would take him!!

-Delighted he is playing with Jesse...and who wouldn't be!!!!

NOW | Sam Weideman joins us after being taken by Melb with pick 9: "It's an amazing feeling. He (his grandfather Murray) is over the moon"

Sounds pretty happy to have joined us given the quick interview he just gave on SEN.

Oliver now on for a chat. Likes Roos, likes the look of the list...

Well I'm thinking 2017 grand final against the Pies, 30 seconds to go, Dees 5 points behind, Weideman marks 55 metres out on a 45 degree angle and pops it straight through the middle, siren sounds......

Actually, as a 12 year old, my father and I were five seats away from Murray Weideman in the Second tier of the old Olympic stand in 1964, and I remember looking across to him just after the famous Crompton goal. He was puffing heavily on a cigarette, shaking like a leaf...we laughed up-roareously perhaps to our discredit, but it was certainly funny at the time!

Looks like Oswald Cobblepot (Penguin) from Gotham.

Oh well, they did get Howe. :)

To the Weidemann experts, is he a ready made key forward who can play straight away a la Jesse Hogan?

I am assuming 2016 will be a development year for him like it is with 99% of kids his size and age, which is fine. Just curious if anyone thinks he can play some impactful senior footy in 2016

Absolutely wrong Dees2014. We are not playing Collingwood.

So what. It's history. I started barracking for the demons watching the Grand Final at my Grandmother's house in North Sunshine. We was losing. My 17 year old daughter still asks me why I always back losers?

I reckon he'll be a great addition. It gives us so many options - height, marking ability, talent, passion to do well.

Go Herr Weidemann.

He has an awesome pair of hands and seems pretty clever too,perfect foil for Hoan.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistΒ  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedΒ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Β

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
