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

 

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

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.

same size as Jackie boy

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.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
