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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
