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.

    -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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
