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

    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.

    -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!!!!

    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!

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
